Am getting into the Andy McNabb series of Nick Stone adventures.

I am just working on my list of books to download and seeing that he hasn't released a new one since 2017. Before that one a year, now 3 years silence. I hope he hasn't given up on Stone.


But on a positive note, the next Gray Man novel is coming in February. He is one of my favourite 'heroes', if we can use this word for people that make their imaginary money with killing.
 
Well The Exorcist by William Blatty was excellent - deeper and more background to Black Mass and Exorcism than you get in the film...?

Now just started my first Murakami - Norwegian Wood. Been meaning to read his stuff for a while. Let’s see.
 
Well - Murakami - Norwegian Wood I did enjoy, and so will read more of his - for now I'm having a go at Virginia Woolf To the Lighthouse - I've never read any VW - it is rather intense and I'm having to concentrate hard :)
 
Erebus, The story of a ship. By Michael Palin.
The true account of the 1845 Arctic exploration.
A terrific read.
It's the first book of his I have read and I am impressed. Sort of similar to Brysons style.
 
John Cleese's autobiography - very entertaining.
Calypso by David Sedaris - not the same without his voice, having heard him many times on radio 4.
 
Listening to The Far Pavilions by MM Kaye on BBC Radio 4 Extra (btw BBC Radio 4 Extra is a fabulous station - and so long live! BBC Radio 4 Extra :) )
 
Just read John Le Carre's latest: Agent Running in the field

Very enjoyable - but I do love a spy novel
 
Just finished 'Adolf Hitler-My Part In His Downfall'by Spike Milligan(again)+have the film on You Tube-mental,anarchic...just right up my street!
Halfway through Shredded-The Bank That Boke Britain by Ian Fraser,story of RBS&how goodwin and the board went (mainly his way)against the rules to help cause a near global financial meltdown.
On my Trump fascination/stalking am now on 'Trump Nation'by Timothy O'Brien(who also penned 'The Art Of The Deal' about the Orange blimps rise/lies to the White House
(God help us--what a trio him Blowjob and Cumming)
DFT-noticed that you and SILH flagged up Cliff Hanley 'The taste Of Too Much'-Knightswood?Anything from Castlemilk?(now that was a place to grow up in in the 60's/70's
Very Happy Jimbo...especially after last night
 
Was struggling with To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf until yesterday when I googled 'is Virginia Woolf difficult' and found that To the Lighthouse is in some bibliophile website's Top 10 difficult reads...It advises readers to not try and work out who the heck is thinking what about whom (it seems to be mostly the thoughts of the characters about themselves and each other, and not a lot of dialogue) and just read it...so I can now read it accepting that I'm not going to have much of a clue, but just enjoy the words and wait and see what happens.
 
Just started Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy,. Takes you back to soviet rule and espionage. Its one of his Jack Ryan Novels, its a slow starter but it's warming up nicely.
