[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[Gwylan]

King of Schnorrers by Israel Zangwill. It's been on my shelves for a while so I finally got round to reading it - it's great, I wish I'd started it earlier.

Trivia note: I see that Zangwill lived in Sussex and died in Midhurst

Brighton Rock - Graham Greene
Have re read this so many times
Lovely insight into old Brighton

The Goalkeeper's Fear at the Penalty Kick - another book I've been to read for ages (and, no, it's not about Robert Sanchez)

 

[amexer]

The Billion Dollar Spy David Hoffman

 

[Beach Hut]

Nine Lives - William Dalrymple

 

[keaton]

The Goalkeeper's Fear at the Penalty Kick - another book I've been to read for ages (and, no, it's not about Robert Sanchez)

I think Sanchez is actually writing a sequel with the working title "The goalkeepers fear of being paid lots to sit on a bench"

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

I heard it through the grapevine - Marvin Gaye's life story.

 

[Beach Hut]

The Last Train to Zona Verde - Paul Theroux

Quite simply Theroux at his finest, brilliant book

Written in 1896 ! One of my friends back home recommended this book to me . I thought because it was written over 125 years ago, it would feel so ridiculously dated . But it doesn’t really it’s a great read .

A Load of Bull - Tim Parfitt

The Unburied - Charles Palliser

It was wonderful. It would make for great TV. I'm looking for more Zangwill now
