[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Nearly finished all Jo Nesbo's 'Harry Hole' (pronounced Holeh) books. Reading 'Police' right now (time and motion permitting). Violent without being grim. Would I read the series again? Yes, I think I would. But it's not yet over.....

I've read a few of those and really enjoyed them, but now I know I was mispronouncing his name I may have to start again

Just read that and agree. I find myself wanting to ask random people if they are happy with what a piece of clothing "achieves for them". Very BM in the way it's written.

Sorry that was referencing The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer

I should apologize for misleading you. The true pronunciation is Hoo-leh. If you're reading them in order, in the first book the Australians called him Holy.

Currently enjoying Travellers in the Third Reich by Julia Boyd.

Chronicles the rise of fascism in Germany through the eyes of everyday people. My only complaint about it is that these "everyday people" are diplomats, politicians, military personnel and well to do students. I thought it would be more from the eyes of everyday Germans at the time but it's very interesting nonetheless.

The Death of an Owl - Paul Torday (But completed by his son Piers as he passed away before completing it)

"American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins, well worth a read.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

"American Dirt" by Jeanine Cummins, well worth a read.

Loved it, but I’m a sucker for any ‘Mexican’ stuff . Very much true to the real experience of desperate Central American migrants trying to find a better life, the awful journeys on La Bestia et al.

It's Not About The Tapas - Polly Evans

 

[Is it PotG?]

Absorbed by this audiobook.

Well connected early days and highly motivated, Piller expalins how he set out on his Mod journey. The early DJ trip to Ireland as a youngster whilst in the TA was almost jaw dropping.

Fantastic, an essential read for anyone into Mod / Acid jazz.
