Can’t beat De Beauvoir. I love her.

I’m currently reading a book called IC3 which is a penguin anthology of New Black Writing in Britain- poems, essays, stories, memoirs. Bought it on a date with one of my best friends few weeks ago but only just started it this week.

Russia by Anthony Beevor. It's the story of the revolution, not a complete history.

When women were dragons, a really fascinating story set in the 50’s using an allegory of women metamorphosing into dragons as a substitute for the struggle for women’s rights and overcoming oppression at hone and at work, I love it so far.

Reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky for over a month and still only half way through. I usually do two books a month. This one is bloody long but so far it has been totally worth it.

And Chariots of the Gods was my last read, must start a new book soon!

I love how on these threads everybody tends to be reading very highbrow and intellectual books. Nobody ever says I’m currently reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid or An Idiot Abroad or whatever

For my next read I think I’ll have a go at Homer’s Odyssey. Yep. Definitely not The Chuckle Brothers : 50 years of Me to You ..

Ha ha. Not being snobbish. Most people start reading with the kind of books you mentioned. My first book as an adult was "A walk to remember". A really cheesy and sad romance book. But at some point, I moved on to different genres. But still I read a Stephen King book once in awhile, just for fun and the thrill. Depends a lot on what people want to get out of the books.

Lucy Worsley writes history for the masses. She wouldn't sell many books if she was too highbrow and intellectual. She does all heavy research and puts it in easy to read form so I don't have to

Thanks for headsup. I was lucky to be there at the time. Some great music and Saxon were one of the best live nwobhm bands I've seen (their album Denim and Leather is a fav of mine).

I’m reading My Policeman by Bethan Roberts atm. Nearly finished. It’s an excellent read, although very sad. It’s been adapted for the big screen, due for release this year and starring Harry Styles.

The Every by Dave Eggers. Sequel to the Circle.

A horrifying and hilarious depiction of the tech-saturated dystopia we are all sleepwalking into.
