Oh goodness.

One Summer In Italy by a woman called Sue Moorcroft. Bit chick litty, but I enjoyed the first novel I read of hers so much that I contacted her on Facebook.

I also recently started Whatever Happened To Margo by Margaret Durrell and Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King, but I've just bought Ready Player Go, and now I don't know where I stand.

lol I inherited my aunt's extensive library, we had to build a room to accomodate it . Add Mr Ns professional books, my already large collection of books and there's enough reading material for a lifetime. That's the main reason I visit the library every month or so and come home with half a dozen books...

I will have a go at Ulysses and if I find it impenetrable I'll put it in the charity shop pile.

Only read On The Road by Kerouac, but went through a splurge of Bukowski a few years back - think I read Post Office, Factotum, Women and Ham on Rye. Love his writing, there's something so gritty and raw about it, but there's a kind of savage elegance at the same time - not in flowery prose or anything like that, but almost in the economy of his writing - there isn't a wasted word in there. Elmore Leonard is kind of similar

"Just started The Drafter by Kim Harrison."

Is it any good? I loved the Hollows series and didn't realise she'd started a new series (my reading of books has been terrible over the last few years!)

"Nothing atm but I have just taken delivery of some Famous Five and Secret Seven books for my daughter. I loved reading those when I was a young lass.

I may have to read them before I give them to my daughter."

Those books started my love affair with reading mystery and crime

Just finished The Wronged by Kimberley Chambers.

Definitely recommend. If you like Jessie Keane or Martina Cole books, you'll love Kim's books too. You have to read her books in the correct order, otherwise they won't make sense.

Now started on The Passenger by Lisa Lutz.

Scary to see that people are actually reading Jordan Peterson... (don't mean to start a fight but - how can you take that guy seriously!)

I've just started The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd, it's making me think I should eventually visit Scotland...

Just finished Terminator: Story In Action since I'm a screenwriting geek and now I'm moving onto Hellbent by Greg Hurwitz. I'd recommend his Orphan X series to anyone who likes spy thrillers like Jason Bourne.

About 50 pages in but I'm really enjoying it so far. Not read any of her other books, might need to look them up.

I'm currently "between books" myself.

Read less in the summer due to long evenings, also the dog tends to eat my books so reading is now restricted to the bedroom.

I chose that one for my book group yesterday, I was a bit worried that the men in the group might not enjoy it (I thought it was more along the lines of chick lit). Glad to see your post.

Is this a carbon copy if the other thread -oh well, let me just Xerox my earlier response:

"Recently Finished Adults in the room by Yannis Varoufakis -well worth the read -he is one of those rare academics that can actually write a story.

Just started re-reading "of Mice and Men" by john Steinbeck for no other reason than I hadn't read it since school and my son had it lying around at the end of term..."
