so ladies and gentlemen, what are we reading. What have we read? Any recommendations? I've just read Golden Prey, john Sandford novel. Can't beat a Lucas Davenport crime thriller. Also read, Born standing Up, Steve martins autobiography. Fascinating read. His whole life he practiced for those few tours, went massive and that was it. Never done stand up again.
American Sniper by Chris Kyle. I am partially drunk atm so will give a proper synopsis when sober...probably just before bonfire Night.
Just finished "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah. Great read and revealed a lot about his childhood that I didn't know. Going to read The Godfather next. Haven't read or seen any of the movies yet.
I’m currently reading - The Strange Death of Europe. Immigration, Identity, Islam. By Douglas Murray I cannot comment about it. Obvz.
We Know What We Are by Russ Litten. Just released, short story collection set around Hull during City of Culture.
Currently reading Slaughterhouse-5 by Just Vonnegut Very good book. Also going to start Jonathan Trotts- Autobiography in the next couple of days.
Just read 'The Border' trilogy and 'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy - the guy has a unique style of writing that, I think, makes for brilliant story telling; several of his books have been made into film but, should 'Blood Meridian' ever become one I can only imagine the film would bear little resemblance to the book, it's not a read for the faint hearted!
Nearly at the end of Lone Rider by Elspeth Beard, first British woman to ride a motorcycle around the world

If you enjoyed Enid Blyton as kid then you'll love Harry Potter. The first book is poorly written, after that things improve. The last two take a deceased, badly beaten horse, kill it again, then flog it ruthlessly towards a further death.
I have recommended Terry Pratchett. He's not interested, obvs. He reckons smoking is bad for me and he doesn't like football. He's a nice kid otherwise. Ed: Mind you, we don't like football either...
