It's an excellent series, just...take your time with it and drag it out. The latest book is taking a long time coming out.

1000 Years of Annoying the French - Stephen Clarke.

Really enjoying it. Humoress and informative at the same time - I'm not sure exactly how historically factual it is, but it's not meant as a work of academic scholarship.
Realised I wrote humoress. Odd

Now reading Middlemarch.

The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy. It was his first novel, and it's the only one I've not read yet. Even though somehow I've managed to read Blood Meridian (possibly the greatest novel ever written imho) three times before getting round to it.

It's great. It's decades old, and clearly written in the shadow of Faulkner, but utterly captivating and with no single word out of place. Boy, that guy can write and no mistake.

Bloodstream - Tess Gerritsen

This may well be the last of hers that I read. Can't say I've been overly impressed with the other two that I've read.

I've just started "Belgarath the Sorcerer" by David and Leigh Eddings. It's the prequel to The Belgariad series. So far so good!

Oh it's the fourth time or so that I've read them, I'm trying to break my reading up between new books for me and the old comfort blankets I have read many times before

Just bought 4 new books today so don't know which to start reading first; either The Help by Kathryn Stockett, or Revolution 1989 - The Fall of The Soviet Empire by Victor Sebestyen.

Just started reading it, I thought the first line had a grammar error:

"Mae Mobley was born on a early Sunday morning in August, 1960."

But it reads in a Southern US dialect so now when I'm reading it, I can't get Morgan Freeman's voice out of my head, even though it's a woman talking!

Oh dear .... let's hope it's a better choice for the lead character than Stephen Tompkinson was for Inspector Banks !

I love the series about Roy Grace and they are all excellent reads.

Just finished Cormac McCarthy's The Orchard Keeper, his first novel, and for some reason the one I'd left till last. Am now very sad that I've read them all, and hope he can keep coming up with the goods for years to come, despite his advanced years.

Just started John Connolly's The Lovers. Been a while since I read The Reapers, but he tends to be pretty good at reminding you what's gone before without excessive info-dumping, so I'm probably gonna have just as much fun as I did with all the previous Charlie Parker novels.
