Just finished Empty Cradles (about child migration), thought it was ok but probably a bit too long and I think I only finished it for the sake of it. Interesting subject though. Now I'm away to start 12 Years a Slave after giving Skagboys (Irvine Welsh) about 20 pages before deciding it's gash. Which is a shame because I used to quite like his stuff.

What's everyone else reading at the moment? Reviews please!

I've just arrived in Zimbabwe at the start of a 2 week trip and got a pile of books to read - currently half way through Nightwoods by Charles Frazier, which is every bit as enjoyable and well written as his first novel, Cold Mountain.

I am reading Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy (not bad), A Proper Marriage by Doris Lessing (boring) , Faber & Kells Heating and Air-Conditioning of Buildings (boring, poorly edited, and sometimes inaccurate) and Language, the cultural tool by Daniel Everett (hard going).

I've just finished Monuments Men, a good read.

I'm also working through the midwife books, nearly finished the second, all good so far.

I'm not really into fiction, and I read that much that once a month or so I'll visit The Works and stock up, it'd cost me a fortune otherwise.

I'm reading Learning Raspberry Pi with Linux by Peter Membrey and David Hows.

It's a superficial book and is ideal for those in total ignorance of both Linux and the intricacies of computer hardware. A smattering of knowledge while often proclaimed to be a dangerous thing actually renders the book superfluous. Patient readers will have their Internet research rewarded with a more in depth and coherent approach to get the most from your Raspberry Pi.

Currently I get more from my pork pies.

C is for Corpse by Sue Graftin.
A decent read and not your usual P.I. Novel.

IT, Stephen King. I have read it before but there is nothing on the TV and my shoulder hurts like anything, must have slept funny, so changed my mind about going for a bike ride.

C is for Corpse by Sue Graftin.
A decent read and not your usual P.I. Novel.

Got as far as,"J is for Judgement" in the Sue Grafton series.
Just finished "Feast day of fools" by James Lee Burke. Very dark and violent. Just perfect for a quiet Sunday read.
