[Doon frae Troon]

Recently read Khaled Hosseini's 'And the Mountains Echoed'
Quite disappointing after his other two, jumped about a fair bit and I found it difficult to remember who was who.


Or perhaps my memory is going!

Got Bill Bryson's 'One Summer' from my brother for Christmas looking forward to starting that after my latest Jack Reacher!!

what is this 'books' you talk of?

There was a scary article on Radio 2 with Jeremy Vine last year, and whilst I can't remember the exact figure, I am sure it was around 25% of homes with school aged kids living in them had no books in the house !! And not because they had kindles. We have a teenage daughter and our house is almost bursting with books.

Working my way through Lee Child's Jack Reacher series at the moment, very entertaining

I read many of them last year, but sickened myself be reading one after the other, have his new one to read from Santa. Still can't picture Tom cruise as Jack

That's my excuse as well - old age lol

Fatty Batter. An old book I found in a charity shop. Very funny !!!

 

[cookelad]

Just started the 'Game of Thrones' series which I'm finding hard work but I'm only a couple of chapters in so hopefully it'll get a bit easier once all the scene setting is done! Kind of wish I'd picked up The Hunger Games instead having just seen the films!

Polished off the Jack Reacher series in about 6 months good job I did before I saw the balls-up of a film or I probably wouldn't have bothered.

A quite brilliant book!

I'm reading a book called Stoner and also An Astronauts Guide To Life by Commander Chris Hadfield. The latter is quite brilliant and I highly recommend it. Not as good as Fatty Batter though!

Crime and Punishment by GF Newman... Not one of his best...

Got This Boy by Alan Johnson to read next....

 

[SaintHacker]
