Or what is on your 2021 reading list?

Been telling myself for ages to pick books up again but never make the time (have plenty spare these days!)

I'm finishing Christopher Andrew's history of MI5, then I'm onto the three volumes of Martin Gilbert's History of the Twentieth Century. That will keep me going for a bit. Luke

Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh.

Very good if you like the legal / crime kind of thing.

Start with Thirteen if you haven’t read any

Listening to Untamed by Glennon Doyle on Audible.

Just started reading Jeffery Deaver, The Bodies Left Behind.

Both excellent so far

I think I’m going to read the sequel to “The Salt Path” by Raynor Winn because I really enjoyed it.

White Teeth by Zadie Smith. It's been out there for quite a few years now but I am loving her style, an amusing and absorbing read and very different from my usual choice of book.

Mine is too loud, like it is now, it fucks with my train of thought and has changed my personality

Tunnels - by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams .... it’s more of a younger book but I found it rivalled Harry Potter in ways

very good read

I liked both that one and Dark Matter. They were both great absorbing reads.

YouTube have a lot, some are even better quality than audible tbh

You will struggle to find newer ones though because of copyright

A great book to read after the MI5 one would be Gideon's Spies by Gordon Thomas. It's an oral history of Mossad. Big old tome of a book that weaves back and forth through time covering different threads but lots of fascinating stuff along the way
