Treason in Tudor England - Lacey Baldwin Smith
Jeremy Vine's autobiography
RIP Richard Matheson. Great sci-fi and horror writer responsible for writing Duel, The Incredible Shrinking Man and I Am Legend. And although I have a soft spot for all three cinmema versions of I Am Legend none really do justice to the book.

Duel scared the shit out of me when I first saw it!
Wasn't it supposed to represent the state v the little man ?
How Not To Grow Up by Richard Herring. It's charming, funny reading.

I really like the first half of that book
The rest just seemed like filler to me
The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. Holds up well, more than 100 years after it was first published. As usual, Beatrix Potter is more adept at drawing animals than humans. The "man with a gun" - who plays a key role in the story - looks somewhat like Mr McGregor from Peter Rabbit, insofar as he is bearded and wearing a cap, and we never see his face in close-up.
'Dublin' - Edward Rutherford. I've read his 'New York' and 'London' and I'm a sucker for the history.

Something like that (although I read once the truck was a metaphor for American foreign policy!). Tis a great film, though.
Just started The King's Deception by Steve Berry.
I thought the whole things was set in Tudor times but no.
I may persevere though.
Rab C Nesbitts 'autobiography'
S'ok!
Just finished 'The Lewis Man' - Peter May, and 'Stonemouth' - Ian Banks, both quite gripping.
Wonder if I can try that trick.
