Currently reading Racing through the dark, waiting on the Dial M for Murdoch coming into the Library for a bit of conspiracy. Thats next on the list,although I reckon I could have David Millars book read by tomorrow quite decent read.
I'm also reading this. Strangely, the further I get into the book the less sympathy I have for Millar. I've just got to the bit where he has started having meetings with the judge and there seems to be a large aspect of him portraying himself as the victim.

Was about to go into a big speel but he maybe was not looking for sympathy, telling it how it is or was, I`m quite shocked to be honest at the level of abuse that was going on and that from the early doors, he was always going to be playing catchup.

Reading "The Knutsford Lads Who Never Came Home" by Tony Davies. It is the story of the men on Knutsford war memorial who served and died in the Great War.

Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel. Feeling a bit ambivalent about it, TBH, as I did about Wolf Hall. You can see why people rave about her, and them, and there's no denying she is a brilliant writer, but there's something not quite right about them, for me at least. Something to do with showing off, and being a bit too pleased with herself, and she does wear her research on her sleeve a bit too much for my liking.

But as I say, boy, the woman can write! She drops in little turns of phrase that just stop you in your tracks - a dejected character looking 'cold as a doorstep orphan'. And how about this for the dying days of the middle ages: 'But chivalry's day is over. One day soon moss will grow in the tilt yard. The days of the moneylender have arrived, and the days of the swaggering privateer; banker sits down with banker, and kings are their waiting boys.'

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
She does come across as being rather pompous and arrogant. I don't like that sort of person. A bit of a know it all.

Gone back to read the Jo Nesbo books I missed first time around. Started of with 'The Bat' which was the first Harry Hole book but is just recently available in the UK and am now onto 'Headhunters' which is very different from all the other Nesbo books.
