    I'm reading Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S Thompson at the moment. It's ok but too long really, it's no F&L in Vegas
    Just finished Nile Rodgers autobiography, that's a bloody good read, squeezed some serious living in!!!

    Will It Make The Boat Go Faster by Ben Hunt- Davis and Moby Dick, a story of destructive compulsion and a character called Ahab spoke to me somehow.
    I am also working my way through the Hunter Davies collection. I met him about 20 years ago through work. Top bloke, mad footie fan and a pretty good writer.
    I remembered it last Christmas and though I should read him, so I started.

    Agree with you on The Count of Monte Cristo. It's an fantastic epic novel.

    I was looking at reading Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee, the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't like the idea of making Atticus Finch a segregationist, which kinda destroys the greatness of the original book (and the brilliant Gregory Peck performance in the film). I know that there were many people like that at the time, but for some reason I don't like the idea of Finch himself being going from one such plain to another, he's one of my favourite ever characters in both literature and film.

    Go Set a Watchman shouldn't have been published. It's a very sad situation. I won't be reading it.

    Completely agree, there's a reason why Lee never wanted it published.

    It's only when she lost her sister (who was also her POA/lawyer) that this work was 'suddenly found' (which was still pretty much a draft) and was published. There's clearly something not right there.

    We've heard about how Atticus ends up sympathising with the KKK but is it true Boo Radley ends up at Radio 1 and gets his own TV show Boo'll Fix It ?

    That's not completely accurate she tried to have it published and no one would. She then went and wrote to kill a mocking bird. After she decided she didn't want it published but that was not her original intent.
