What Are You Reading...?

[jockaneezer]

I can re-read any of Spike Milligan's war diaries at the drop of a hat, even starting at some random page and just go from there.
I do like a good reference/text book too, my copy of Eaton Fluid Power Industrial Hydraulics Manual is on my nightstand and again, I'll just open it at a random page and see what I can learn (sad bugger !)
I refuse to read any of Dan Brown's books as, years back, I was totally engaged with the Davinci Code, couldn't put it down and kept thinking "This is enthralling, I wonder how he's going to finish it ?" then got to the end and realised he didn't know how to finish it satisfactorily either !

I can’t quote the reference to Joseph O’Connor above.


Very much enjoyed The Star and The Sea many years ago. You probably know he’s Sinead OConnor’s brother but used to get irritated when people brought that up in interviews.

For anyone interested in a good real life adventure in DRC I’d really recommend Blood River by Tim Butcher. I was so impressed with it, and him, that I sent an email to an address at the end of it when I finished it and he replied straight away

Are you enjoying the Elly Griffiths books, @Jenben ? I love mysteries so am always interested in finding new authors!

Yes, they are a light read. I tend to pick them up at 99p on the kindle, I like her as a character and the Detective is curmudgeonly.

Another detective series is the Inspector Gamache books by Louise Penny set in French speaking Canada. 18 books.

Yes I have read them. Nothing better than a new series of books to binge read .

According to my Kindle, I’ve read nine books so far this year……..

I use goodreads to track my books and I am also on 9 .

You probably know he’s Sinead OConnor’s brother but used to get irritated when people brought that up in interviews.

No, I didn’t ! I will store that fact up for the WI book club discussion !

The last couple of books I’ve read are The Satsuma Complex and Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer . An easy holiday read and Bob Mortimers random humour .
