Which book(s) are you currently reading?

[The Beans]

I'm reading The Boys' Book Of Airfix by Arthur Ward. It's a great nostalgia read chronicling the history of Airfix right up to the present day.
I picked it up in The Works for £6.99.

I need a recommendation for holiday reading (apart from RG of course!)

I love Bret Easton Ellis and would like something similar as I lay by the pool getting tan. It's not a colour, it's a lifestyle...

Anyway, recommendations?

I just re-read Nicholas Pileggi's 'Wiseguy' after hearing that Henry Hill (the mafiosi that Goodfellas was based on) had died recently.

Part 3 of the Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb is next.

Halfway through The Gray Wolf Throne by Cinda Williams Chima & it's not disappointed me yet.

[Seadog74]

About half way through Mick Foley - Foley is Good. Top stuff.

I've nearly finished Life of Pi - a very interesting story about a young Indian boy that survived a shipwreck and is trapped in a lifeboat with a Bengal Tiger, although the underlying theme is quite religious and philosophical.

I read this on holiday a couple of years ago - amazing book, well worth a read.

I've just started commuting via bus and train to Sheffield for work, instead of driving - it's cheaper than my gas-guzzler AND I get 45 mins reading each way every day! Just rekindled (pun intended) my love of books, and have finished the following in the last two weeks -

Terry Pratchett - Making Money - I'm a massive fan and have read nearly all of his work, but this was paricularly hard word - think it was the 'banking' subject matter that bored me a little, bit of a chore to finish.
Frankie Boyle - My Sh1t Life So Far - bought on a whim 18 months ago, just picked it up - my god. The man is twisted, and now you know why. I've actually had to stop myself laughing out loud on the train at this, brilliant read. Not for the weak minded or easily offended.

I had similar feelings, it seemed very much a rehash of Going Postal. There just didn't seem to be much new or interesting going on, lacking his usual spark.

He would have been writing it round about the time of his Alzheimer's diagnosis though, so perhaps it was a rough period for him to be working with all that going on in his personal life and he'd have been adjusting to coping with the condition now he knew he had it.

The subsequent books have been excellent though. I'm no sports fan but Unseen Academicals really was back on form, then we get another Tiff Aching book followed by a new Grimes adventure.

Just finished The Warlock's Shadow by Stephen Deas which was a cracking book. Roll on the next one in the series.
