Books - what are you reading just now?

[Lord Tyrion]

haha - yes that's right!

I was trying Susan Sarandon at the range, but it didn't work as well

I love the idea that your swing goes to pot because of Susan Sarandon

Isn't the second part supposed to be shorter than the first part (of whatever you are saying to yourself)?......maybe that's why Susan was such a failure lol (though Cindy Crawford doesn't seem to work either )

I don't know, may explain a lot . Part of the last name may be used on the follow through though. I'm imagining the Cin-dy on the backswing, Crawf (hits ball) ord on the follow through. That's how it sounds to me.

I have a very slow swing mind, the fast guys probably say Bob Bob

My old teacher used something a bit longer for a slower back swing (he always said the back swing generated no power and was just to get the club in position) and a overall smooth swing and that was to use Severiano Ballesteros, Worked for a while for me at least.

I'd hurt my dodgy back trying to fit that name in my swing

Secret - Jack Reacher. As per normal but a slightly different plot. A good read and page turner.

Finished it, unnecessary plot twist in the last few pages.

That’s how I was doing it with CC, helped me follow through completely.

Leonardo Da Vinci By: Walter Isaacson
Really interesting if you like this kind of thing. Narrated by Alfred Molina and even comes with an accompanying PDF that you can refer to whilst listening.
A fascinating insight into one of the great geniuses and polymaths of all time.

On reflection, not worth the effort

Johnson at no 10

I'm finding it quite sad. And also amazing that more time seems to be spent fighting amongst themselves and the civil service than being able to run the country how he wanted.

I dragged out one of my favourite books this week. I must have read it half a dozen times in the last 40 years. "When the lion feeds," by Wilbur Smith. It spawned two other books in "The sound of thunder," and "When a sparrow falls."

Wilbur Smith then wrote several other series around the Courtney family, prequels to the original book. But to me, the first 3 are classics.

Currently reading “When the lion feeds,” again. Hadn’t realised it’s 6 years since I last read it…

Think I started reading this way back then one short holiday at relatives - but didn’t get far through it before the holiday finished. It’s a book that has popped into mind over the years whenever WS is mentioned, and now that you mention it…will watch out for a copy at our Oxfam Bookshop.

In the Blink of an Eye, Jo Callaghan. Very good, very interesting. It's about the use of AI in the police, fiction. Well worth a read.

With the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, it’s inspired me to pick up a book I started years ago and never got through. The Struggle for Europe by Chester Wilmot chronicles the history of the Second World War from the Dunkirk evacuation - fascinating how things could have easily been different….

Does anyone read fiction and in large amounts. I read about 3 books a week on average. Once had a ibrary of 10,000 books I sold to a man opening a second hand book shop.

I love reading but not in a serious way, no life lessons, no history, nothing factual, life is full of that rubbish.

Recently I have been hitting the LitRPG really heavily. Azarinth Healer series, Dungeon Crawler Carl, The Primal Hunter, The Wandering Inn, System Apocalype, Defiance of the Fall and The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. Most comprise of 3 - 10 books per series.

Previous to that it was the John Sandford Lucas Davenport series - 24 odd books and just superbly written.

I love books on Vampires, Werewolves, serial killers, detective and aliens, i know i know but hey there is some great stuff out there and reading about what someone famous had for tea and overcame to make it, is boring as hell, next I will be watching paint dry...

Popcorn books ftw imo.

Just to add this is what I have sat on my kindle currently. Dissonance has 10 books so take a few weeks to get through.

Also got a 100 book on Amazon wish list. Too much to read and never enough time.

Reading - Dissonance - Book 1
A Journey of Balck and Red - Vampire
The Instruments of Darkness (Charlie Parker latest, A Fav saving for that special occasion)
Kagen the Damned - Horror
Enter Systems - Apocalypse Book
The Senstives - Books 1-3 - Paranormal Horror
Son of the Endless Night - Horror
Empire of the Damned - Vampire Horror
Cato 5 - Roman Legion Series - Not bad but not realistic set in the Roman invasion of England
Speak the Nightbird - Detective Book
They Thirst - Vampire
The Mountain of Souls - Fantasy
The Way of Kings - Fantasy
Live to Tell - Detective - Book 4
Memories of Ice - Book 3 Fantasy
The Player of Games - Sci-Fi
Sunshine - Vampire

@Reemul I read a lot, but not quite in your league. We have a great county library system up here. Online catalogue, order the book, get it sent to the library of your choice. I'll do 1-2 books a week on average.

I don't re-read books so having an extensive library at home wouldn't be for me. Always looks calming though, a library room.

I just use Kindle Umlited £8 a month for as many books as I can read, rarely if ever buy a real book. Actually stayed up late tonight to finish Book 1

I used to read fiction only thinking non-fiction is boring. Then I was given a book by an older friend about the space program development in the US and thought it was great.

Now I am older than that friend was and I mostly read non-fiction. Give it a try, there is more to it than celebs bios.

The last one I read was The Spy and The Traitor.

I too now use Kindle Unlimited. Trouble is, I've not yet found what I'd term a 'decent' book on it. But, that said, pretty ordinary 'pot-boilers' abound in plenty.

Depends on what you define a decent book, seems the top 40 books in book stores is filled with James Patterson ghost writer books, Lee Child book 400 and so on which is not my idea of a decent a book, a decent book is one I enjoy and i reckon I have had 50 good books off KU this year. ( I was off sick for 9 weeks and did a lot of reading this year)

One thing KU allows is for me to try a book or 6 hundred odd and dump them if they are rubbish, no reading to the end because I spent £7 on it, just move on.
