What are you reading right now? Page 206
'And the Mountains Echoed' - Khaled Hosseini.
A spy among friends by Ben Macintyre. The true story of Kim Philby. The shoddiness of MI6 is shocking........
Stan and ollie:roots of comedy
Just finished the count Arthur strong book too - shite
'The Red Road' - Denise Mina.
The 39 steps (John Buchan) A great murder mystery yarn. Like James Bond without the gadgets.
I was waiting for the 'memory man' to appear but that was just in the film version.
Excellent!

Recently "re-read" his Greenmantle, which we were "forced" to read at school - much more interesting second time around.
A lot of his books and many of the classics are on Amazon to download for free onto your Kindle.
I'm enjoying the books, like you, I was forced to read at school.
Finally (!) finished Charles Dickens - A Life biog. by Claire Tomalin. Very good, and if you are a fan of CD like I am I can highly recommend it. Heavy tome (500+ pages) and excellent read with plenty of detail and photos.
Talking Heads 2 - Alan Bennett.

I got it for Christmas at least 5 years ago from my daughter who kept on asking when I was going to read it.
Just to whet your appetite, he was a naughty boy! (Apart from being a brilliant author)
NW by Zadie Smith - it's a confusing mess of narrative styles, but I'm enjoying it anyway
