'Tfe Goldfinch' Donna Tartt.
First Donna Tartt book I've read and I am loving it so far. A HUGE tome but I'm managing to get through it quite quickly. The use of language is extraordinary. |

The Light Years - Elizabeth Jane Howard
Set just before the second World War, this is the first of the Cazalet Chronicles, centering on three related families. It's all terribly British and politeness personified, but I enjoyed it enormously. I especially liked the younger members of the families. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. I have just finished Jeffrey Archers Best kept secret, third of the Clifton Chronicles, very good, number four coming out in March. |

The Fell Walker, it's bloody fantastic. The authors Michael Wood (no relation to me
), he's fairly big in Australia as far as I'm aware but I was only made known to him when I went to the Lake District and found this book in Waterstones I think it was. I've ordered another one of his 'Climate Change' just now.

In cold blood. It's superb.
I'm in the middle of 'The Language of Bees' by Laurie R King (on audiobook). I might have got the recommendation on here? I'm enjoying it anyway, and will definitely look out for others in the Mary Russell series. |

Swansong by Robert McCammon, as recommended by another poster on here and well worth reading if you like post apocalyptic stuff.

Having overdosed on murder/mystery types lately fancied something completely different, so reading The Cowboy and The Cossack by Clair Huffaker, about a cattle drive across Siberia involving, well Cowboys and Cossacks funnily enough - loving it so far, written from the perspective of 19 year old Cowboy Levi. Would really recommend it so far, even it if did nearly make me cry on the bus this morning

The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood by Irving Finkel Quote:
In THE ARK BEFORE NOAH, British Museum expert Dr Irving Finkel reveals how decoding the symbols on a 4,000 year old piece of clay enable a radical new interpretation of the Noah's Ark myth.
A world authority on the period, Dr Finkel's enthralling real-life detective story began with a most remarkable event at the British Museum - the arrival one day in 2008 of a single, modest-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet - the palm-sized clay rectangles on which our ancestors created the first documents. It had been brought in by a member of the public and this particular tablet proved to be of quite extraordinary importance. Not only does it date from about 1850 BC, but it is a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a myth from ancient Mesopotamia revealing among other things, instructions for building a large boat to survive a flood. But Dr Finkel's pioneering work didn't stop there. Through another series of enthralling discoveries he has been able to decode the story of the Flood in ways which offer unanticipated revelations to readers of THE ARK BEFORE NOAH. |

Now reading the very humerous The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend ![]() ![]() I've started Andrew Marr's 'History of the World'. I thought it might be a bit dull but Marr has an entertaining yet informative style. Slightly misnamed though, it's more a history of mankind than a history of the world.
