Currently reading The 12th Card by Jeffrey Deaver, really enjoy his books. Whoever it was put Vulcan 607 earlier in the thread, cracking read, really liked that one.

Steven Gerrard Autobiography. Fantastic read, espically the shocking part when he was youngster. He was playing on a field near his house with his mate. The ball accidentally went into the nettles, and Gerrard tried to kick the ball out of there then all off a sudden, he kicked again a second time and got his foot enbedded in a rusty garden folk. He could of lost his foot!

If are referring to Peter James "Inspector Grace" series I think the next one is due in the summer. Have read the first 2 in the series so far - look forward to it being televised to see who they get to play the lovely Cleo Morey and Norman Potting (crimefighter extraordinary).

The monopoly of violence - why europeans hate going to war.
Brilliant book, recently published, for anyone else interested in military history mixed with current politics.

A third of the way through The Dice Man, by Luke Rhinehart. Picked up in Oxfam as it was billed on the back as "shocking and subversive."
Only when I started reading did I realise it was published in 1971. It's about as shocking and subversive as Children's BBC.

I had this brought for me, as I'd decided not to buy the next one, myself. But didn't tell Wifey.
Anyway my fears have been realised, as I'm about a third through and once again over half the book, so far, has been spent setting the scene by describing the characters, all over again.
It's like reading a 'cut and paste' book.
I always liked PJ and his books are each stand alone good reads but they aren't written for those who have read the series.

Did you see him at the Dome during the Festival? He was in conversation with Andrew Marr and was wise and witty and a class act.

Recently started Memoirs of a Geisha...wanted to read another book about Japan after enjoying one earlier this year by Haruki Murukami, picked it up on a bookstall for 50p, seemed like a bargain at the time and so far is proving to be.

Yes I did. i didn't have quite such a high opinion of him but am glad I went. I couldn't quite get passed his denial that McCain's torture and imprisonment in Vietnam had ever occurred nor the sycophantic laughter that greeted his suggestion that it had all been made up. I thought Marr was derelicting his duty for not pulling him up on it. I might not like the man but.......
Other than that he was as witty and erudite as one would expect.
