The Future is League Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I started to read the Stephen Leather book "The Bombmaker" but struggled so gave up about 1/3 of the way through. I'm now reading another book by him called "Tango one" which is a lot better so far.

Futtocks Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 I have just finished 'The Good Soldier' by Ford Madox Ford.

Bleep1673 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Guardians of the Galaxy Graphic novel just happened to appear in my hand when I went to the Library, It's a good "Loo Book".

DavidM Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I’ve nearly finished Rory Clements ‘ Nemesis ‘ . I like him as an author , I’m in his readers club . It’s ok but this new line isn’t as good as the John Shakespeare series

Gerrumonside ref Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Got a few lined up for a two week Baltic cruise - a bit of an eclectic mix: The Girl On The Train (Paula Hawkins)* Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine (Gail Honeyman) War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy) Straight Outta Crawley (Romesh Ranganathan) The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson) Sashenka (Sebastian Sebag Montefiore)* *Audiobook There’s no chance I’ll get through them all, but I like a choice just in case for whatever reason something isn’t up my street.
Futtocks Posted May 11, 2019 Author Posted May 11, 2019 To christen my new Kindle, I have downloaded and am chuckling my way through Richard E.Grant's outrageous movie diary 'With Nails'.

Bleep1673 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I am a big T Pratchett fan, and I downloaded the "Long Earth" series a while back onto my Kindle, but I never got round to reading them, but I started at the weekend.
The Hallucinating Goose Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Gonna be starting 'The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War' by Antony Beever in the next couple of days. While a bit of a history buff it is one area I know virtually nothing about so thought I'd learn something about it! Looking forward to it!

It inspired me to have a go at Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. 1
Gerrumonside ref Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Currently getting on well with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Didn’t realise that it’s essentially a series of novellas that were once serialised in the paper. Great for those who just want to dip in and out of something.

Phil Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Dracula by Bram Stoker, pretty heavy going, I’m finding it hard work "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Reading ' Force of Nature' by Jane Harper last few days. Good so far...about a corporate expedition weekend gone wrong in the Australian Bush outside of Melbourne.....an Inspector Falk book which are usually good ....if you like Rebus/Morse/Banks you'd like this. Half way through and it's a 4/5 so far One of the ladies in the group hasn't made it back from the Bush expedition and Falk and his assistant go out to find her....oooooooooh .....mystery,........
