What book are you guys currently reading

[Roadhump]

Blood River by Tim Butcher, the story of a journalist's journey through the Congo.

Has anyone read War & Peace? I downloaded it onto my Kindle a few weeks ago and although a few people have recommended Russian literature to me, the size of it puts me off. It will take about 6 weeks at least to read.

 

[Mark1978]

Nearly finished John Scalzi's "Old Man's War" series of books. Easy read and quite enjoyable. Especially like the way that the 4th book is the same story as the third book, but told from a different person's perspective.

Game of Thrones......will it ever end?

The Northumbrian Bagpipes by Cocks and Bryan

I have a set of Northumbrian pipes whose reeds need some attention and I'm seeking hints and tips.

I might even attempt to make a seven key chanter.

The Chimp Paradox.
It explains a lot. Get back in your box, I'm accessing the computer!!

Seconds Away by Harlan Coben... after a chance encounter with the first book whilst camping a few weeks back.

Abattoir Blues by Peter Robinson......not the hardest of reads but he's a great story teller and the books are way better than the TV series.

when you mean the hardest read what does that mean?

No, but I've liked the Dostoevsky I've read - might be a little more digestible.

More recently written, Solzhenitsyn evokes the random cruelty of the soviet era with a sort of black humour that I found very readable. Cancer Ward, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, or the abridged version of the Gulag Archipelago are all good places to start.

I 've not read it, but I'll bet it's rubbish!

Try Cordelia FIne's, Delusions of Gender instead...
