A re-read of 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' - by Robert Heinlein.
After re-reading 'Starship Troopers' last week, got the urge to revisit some of Heinlein's other classics.

im halfway through 'free country, a penniless adventure the length of britain by george Mahood. ive got the kindle version and its very good. i love travel books but there are some that are truly awful. badly written and nothing to say. i fast forward through quite a few off them, but not this one. its a nice easy read and im almost tempted to try the trip myself.

I am now reading Heartstome by CJ Sansom as well as Great Expectations which was taking me so long to read. Heartstone is so much easier to get into.

I'm reading Downtime by Tamara Allen, I'm pretty sure that it was a recommendation from here. I'm really enjoying it.

I am half way through Wolf Hall. I find the puctuation rather idiosycratic, so may colons and semi colons, direct and indirect speech etc. A bit irritating to me. Other than that its ripping good yarn tho as I have read extensivly about the Tudors there are no big surprises.
Enjoyable as it is its not A Booker Prize winner IMO.

Finished Little Star by John Ajvide Lindqvist today. Loved it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit different.

I've got Let The Right One In and Harbour out as well but I'm gonna read The Book Lover's Tale by Ivo Stourton first.

The final chapters of Neal Stephenson's The System Of The World: Volume III of the baroque cycle. This has been the longest and best trilogy I've ever read. It's taken at least 6 months so far and I'm really going to miss it.

Dog lovers avoid.

Oooh good - I bought The Lost Daughter from a local church bazaar so I shall look forward to reading it! I had already read (and enjoyed) Midwife's Confession

I'm currently reading two books! One is a novel by a writer (or should I say, two writers, as they're a husband-and-wife team!) I've not read before:

Killing Me Softly by Nicci French

The other is

The Puppy Listener by Jan Fennell

Before that, I had been reading loads of books by Sue Gee, an author I have recently discovered and fallen in love with

In the middle of Beautiful Disaster and I'm about to tear the pages out and use them to wipe my arse. I don't know why I even started it after reading the scathing reviews on Goodreads, but I didn't expect it to be so bloody awful. That'll teach me.

I'm currently reading Flowers in the Attic by Virgina Andrews. It's... interesting. It's quite poorly written in places imo. Or maybe I'm judging it by the fact that the characters in Under the Dome were so well-written.
