The Future is League Posted March 27, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have just finished 'The Good Soldier' by Ford Madox Ford. Needing something less depressing, I have just started David Hepworth's latest, 'A Fabulous Creation'.

Next to my loo I've got a copy of 'it's been grand, now it's final' by Eddie hemmings and Mike Stephenson. It's good cos I haven't had to buy bog paper for a little while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted May 11, 2019 Share 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.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted May 13, 2019 Share 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!

Gerrumonside ref Posted May 13, 2019 Share 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.

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted May 15, 2019 Share 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,........
