    Yeah very impressed, I'm a fan of Nick Cave so thought I'd give it a go but it's honestly a very good book.

    The accidental Time machine, by Joe Haldeman.

    It was rather good I thought.

    Quite a few of the dearly departed on this thread <ghost>


    I have just finished reading ‘The Sorrow Of War’ by Bao Ninh.

    One of the best books I’ve ever read. I’m not normally moved by reading but this got to me. It’s about a soldier who was collecting bodies after the Vietnam war and him wrestling with his conscience and reminiscing about the purpose of war. It’s not glamorised like most war books, it’s laid bare and very thought provoking.

    American Pastoral by Phillip Roth for me. Been reading it a while and got distracted but will finish while on holiday.

    Breakfast at Tiffany's after that.

    Good old NSIS.

    Which reminds me, I have to buy Don Winslow's last ever book for my holiday next week.

    City in Ruins, the last of a trilogy.

    Took this picture nearly five years ago @luvgonzo. November 2020, Covid time.

    Never got past half way through the first book.

    Will add that to my list.

    Read The Midnight Library recently after a recommendation. Very interesting concept.
