[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[Cheeky Monkey]

Finished "To kill a Mockingbird"

Such a rated book but I gave up a couple of chapters in. Tediocre in the extreme imho.

Best Amrican Noir of the Century edited by Otto Penzler & James Ellroy - a mammoth volume but totally engrossing.

 

[southwickseagull]

Dead mans grip. Another master class from Peter James.

 

[Stat Brother]

Twisting My Melon Man - Shaun Ryder.

Tis ok, Shaun doesn't seem to have even been wrong, which has made it quite difficult to read.
But hey that's his prerogative.

Enjoyed it myself. Not sure how true it was that he and Bez dropped acid every day for a year though!

Yeah I'm quite enjoying it, but once it started to grate, it really grated.
On the one hand you've got a self confessed illiterate, drug addled, thief, with no musical knowledge.

But on the other, you have a blameless music genius who whenever challenged on anything was ALWAYS proven right, in the long run.

Just finished Tripwire by Lee Child, the third book in the Jack Reacher series. Only another 13 to go.

Bit OT. Was watching King Arthur last night and on seeing one of the actors, had a thought That's Jack Reacher. Ray Stevenson.

Went to the IMDb website and appears I'm not the first to think it. Better than the midget they have actually got to play him.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I wrote that one afternoon. Lol

Great name for an author

 

[jackzayum]

I'm currently reading Karen Marie Moning's: "The Immortal Highlander"

 

[rcf0712]

Neil Young: Long May You Run: The Illustrated History

 

[Peteinblack]

Candide by Voltaire. It's a RIOT.

"Pangloss deceived me cruelly when he said that all is for the best in the world."

[Lush]

My favourite book of last year.

 

[Braders]

Finished "We Want Falmer" earlier this week - loved it , very moving in places and left a nice little tingle after reading it.

currently reading Steve Jobs biography , although bought Jason Manfords last night so will probably switch between the two.

 

[Dover]

Utter trash. Rockers & Rollers, Brian Johnson.

 

[bassking]

Stalin, and Harold shipman (mind set on killing),but the shipman book is becoming boring as all the murders are pretty much the same method

 

[Flex Your Head]

Paul Preston's peerless and epic biography of Franco; what a rancid piece of shit that little fucker was.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Atonement by Ian McKewan.

One of my favourite films so I'm surprised to say that the book is far better. Great writer, beautiful prose, tense voyeuristic story. Superb.
