Currently reading Wilbur Smith's "Those in Peril". I quite enjoy thrillers by Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler, James Patterson, Ed Clancy and others who write in that can't put it down style.

Currently reading 3, the Silver Eagle by Ben Kane, We were young and carefree by Laurent Fignon and French Revolutions by Tim Moore. I had a long coach journey and wanted something easy to read that would grip me so started to read FR again for the umpteenth time. Still makes me laugh.
 
I'm reading Richard Ford 'Independence Day' - the second of a trilogy featuring Frank Bascombe.
Powerful, careful reading. Particularly engaging if you have had a difficult relationship (or two, three et seq). But always an interesting read that 'draws one in'...

Wading through Pillars of the Earth. Quite enjoying it but it's taking me ages as it's a huge book. Usually read a book a week but think I'm nearly three weeks in on this and still about 300 pages to go. Ouch! Probably coz I'd rather be out on my bike!

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy - I'm amazed at how full of dread and fear it is yet so gripping and beautifully, carefully written. Also just finished The Last King of Scotland by Giles Foden - very good indeed.

Unarmed into Battle. A bit specialised and non-fiction (mostly).

Cambodian Witness by Someth May.
:sad: A witness recollection of a Cambodain who managed to hide his past from the Khmer Rouge and survive (at times only just) where he would have been killed in the most brutal fashion had they found out.
A bit sketchy, a bit fragmanted, but it opens your eyes to how the ordinary people suffered while Pohl Pot took them back to Year Zero.

Has anyone read Wind in my Wheels by Josie Dew?
