The Bottle Imp by Robert Louis Stevenson at the moment, part of a collection of his short stories.

Just started reading "Inferno" by Dan Brown, read the others so thought I'd give this a whirl.

 

Do you not find all Dan brown books more or less the same?

Just finished for the third time "Ask the fellows who cut the hay." George Ewart Evans. Fantastic oral histories of rural life in the late 19th century.

Just reading the Templar series by Paul Christopher. Bit like Dan Brown but from the Templar point of view. Main character up against Rex Deus, the Vatican, Castro and the Russian mafia to name a few.

Been getting back into the Alex Cross series of books by James Patterson - two of them got made as films with Morgan Freeman in them (Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider). They're great as they don't take a lot of reading so work well in short bursts.

 

Also reading Four Quarters of Light, by Brian Keenan about his travels in Alaska. Started reading it while we were still out there last week and all I can say is that his findings and ours were hugely different - he's very negative at times, but I find it hard to put down.

 

Still working on Dreaming of Jupiter by Ted Simon - finding it quite hard work compared to Jupiter's Travels. Have to be in the right mood so it's taken months so far

Yes, just with a different subplot. It's easy reading, and due to reading the others thought I'd just read this too. Started reading it Saturday and nearly finished now.

 

I don't get much time to devour books anymore, but when I do....

Spycatcher - again. Proof that truth is stranger than fiction.

Just finished reading 'Forgotten Highlander' a book about a scots experiences as a POW of the Japanese. Read the whole book in a day. One of the best and most moving books I've read in ages. Highly recommended. Taken prisoner, starved almost to death, tortured, suffered with cholera, dysentery, Beri Beri, malaria. Transported in a death ship and sunk by the Americans, survived for 5 days adrift on the ocean. Finally, transported to Japan. Nagasaki of all places, where he experienced the dropping of the atomic bomb.

 

If you get the chance, give it a read, and remember what some people went through for our freedom.
