Question What are you reading?

[Tangled up in Blue]

Somehow I think you may be confusing a music historian with a Hobbit.

Ha! Don't fink so.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just finished Pete Dexter's Spooner.Hugely enjoyable novel.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Just started Paul Mason's PostCapitalism:A Guide to Our Future.

Looks like a good read.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoying Paul Theroux's Deep South.

Probably his best travel book since The Kingdom by the Sea.

 

[SonicShrimper]

Should probably read The Scorch Trials before I see the film Monday...

Also been rereading Charlie Higson's The Enemy series and Ben Aaranovitch's PC Grant series before the next (last in Enemy's case) books come out in the next month or so. Kids v zombie adults and Harry Potter meets the Fuzz. Who says my Fridays are boring?

Has anyone read Sir A Fergie's new book yet? I am so very anti Manure/Premshite that I am struggling against reading it; and at the same time also knowing that AF does, often, know his stuff and is likely to be interesting.
Any reports on the book please.

Matt Dickinson's Bobby Moore biography - still early days (in the book he has just made his first XI debut) but already looks like it'll be a cracker. First mention of our chum Brian Dear already ticked off too :smile:

The FA should be ashamed the way that Bobby was treated .

Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden

Started Luggy last night,Paul Sturrock's autobiography.

OK it's a pretty light read and there's only one (fairly predictable) chapter on us but it's still worth looking at.

All SUFC fans owe Luggy a huge debt for taking over only ten days before the season started, with just four registered players when we dropped into L2 and also for getting us to that JPT Final at Wembley.:thumbsup:

Still baffles me that there is so much disdain around for Luggy. He did a fine job for us.

And that's not an invitation to turn this thread in to a debate about the merits or otherwise of Paul Sturrock's tenure at the club!

Mr Men in London is great fun if you've got small children who are in to Mr Men. My two adore it. (As do I)

The Aeronaut's Windlass, Jim Butcher.

Not far in (it only arrived yesterday despite being pre-ordered in March for a Tuesday delivery because my postie's a dick) but I'm looking forward to this. Butcher's mental, his books are brilliant. I mean, I've bought 22 of them now so you'd hope I liked him. And 5/6 of them I've bought twice.

Only got til Tuesday to finish this before the next Riordan comes out. Can't wait for that either.

 

[Napster]

Mr Mercedes by the maestro. It's good. 8/10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Michel Houellebecq's Submission.

Brilliant political satire by France's greatest living novelist.

 

[SonicShrimper]

Finished Butcher, Riordan and Jonathan Stroud's third Lockwood and Co book, The Hollow Boy.

Damn, I'm good at finding great books.

 

[OldBlueLady]

I am going to be settling down to read Go set a Watchman (which I had passed on to me today) within the next few weeks courtesy of a very generous gesture by TUIB - cheers! :thumbsup:

Skyfaring: A Journey with a Pilot by Mark Vanhoenacker

Memoirs and musings of a 747 pilot.

It's great.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Enjoying Bill Bryson's The Road to Little Dribbling.His "sequel" twenty years on to "Notes from a small Island".

Loved this:-"Today the fastest train to the west,from Paddington to Penzance,takes five and a half hours to travel 280 miles,at an average speed of about 50 miles and hour....It is like rigor mortis with scenery".

About to start Warriors of the Storm, the ninth book in the Warrior Chronicles/Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. I really hope the Beeb don't nause up The last Kingdom on BB2 next week. The series has been drawn from the books.
