Working my way through Chris Ryan's, Danny Black series of books. Pretty much what you expect from a an ex SAS man as a writer but entertaining enough
 
Just started 'The Taste of Too Much' (1960) by Cliff Hanley. A coming of age tale of a 17yr old being brought up in a north-west Glasgow scheme. A fair bit before my time - but with a great deal of resonance.
 
I just finished reading No Hiding in the Open by John Hoskison, which I'm sure plenty of you have read probably. It was quite decent light reading.
 
The latest Jack Reacher has arrived.
The last was a bit hmmm, let’s see what the current one is. Have to finish the Harry Bosh 1st.

Well that was fun. Can recommend it for any Glaswegian or local who might enjoy a quick and light glimpse back in time to the trials and tribulations of a clever 17yr old lad (living I'm guessing in Knightswood) - finding his way with Highers and lassies in Glasgow (with a trip to Millport) of 1960.

Next up - a book I read in school - but fancy another look. Pied Piper by Nevil Shute
 
Just about finished Goldie's book. Wow what a life. LOve the fact that he gives a F U throughout his turbulent life and has a determination that would have grounded most and is still one of the most successful DNB artists ever and continues to grow and in most of the things he starts.
 
Half way through Chris Boardman's auto [2016]
Don't know why I picked it up as I am not very interested in cycling.
I think it must have been for his journey.

Anyway, glad I did as it is a good read.
 
Just picked up a couple of Tom Clancy novels today at lovely bookshop in Woodhall Spa. Tonight I'll be starting with The Bear and the Dragon. It's a pretty big book but I'll be enjoying some uninterrupted time next few days reading it.
 
Border by Don Winslow. The last in the drug cartel series. Good, but a tough read. I am looking forwards to trying his other books.
 
On the second book of Brent Weeks 'Lightbringer' Series, now that all 5 are now out. Fantasy book with a twist where the main characters can use light to craft and destroy things using the different colours of the spectrum.
