Third in series clan of the cave bear series of books, the mammoth hunters.
Re reading The Ninja by Eric Van Lustbader great series of books concerning archaic Japanese martial arts in the modern setting.
Oooo Lustbader!
Try and read Shibumi by Trevelyan.
I’m currently reading ‘After You’ by Jojo Moyes.
It’s the sequel to ‘Me before you’
I am reading the hunter boys, a story of former hawker hunter pilots and their exploits, one pilot who, disgusted that there would be no official celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the formation of the raf , flew his hunter under tower bridge, and buzzed the houses of Parliament, he was court martialed and dishonorably discharged from the air force
I will be glad to see the back of this book …
I’m reading 'Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? ’

If you were not a racist to begin with you might well be after.
Really heavy going. Informative for sure but you have to have your wits about you so you don’t take the stuff on-board and let it cloud your mind with negativity towards your fellow man.
Oh dear. I thought it was required reading. My copy is due to arrive any day 
It is quite horrible. Probably right in it’s assumptions but the assumptions are downright depressing. More or less stating that multiculturalism has never been a good thing and people of a certain race stick together regardless. Also makes the very valid point that the US (and all Western countries) should never have taken it on board - meaning mass immigration.
Still it is but another book. I don’t agree wholeheartedly with his ideas as he also rips into religion in a massive way.
I will come to a conclusion when I have finished the whole thing. An opposing idea is forming in my mind which should come to a conclusion by the time I close the cover.
Warning! It is not light reading material.
Oh for god sake MJK; it is written by PAT BUCHANAN surely the name means something to you?
He’s the godfather of the Tea Party movement, he is the right wing, catholic, segregationist darling of the extreme right. What do you expect his book would be like? Anything different would be like expecting UJ to write complementary words about Maggie Thatcher’s favourite pumpkin scone recipe. It’s an opinion piece for the new right.
Follow it up with Mein Kampf and you would have the set
Can’t say I did know anything about him. I do now though.
There is lots of good info in this book interspersed amongst all the religious and racial bias. Definitely worth reading though but as I say I will be glad to put it down eventually.
Darn … maybe I’ll give it a miss after all
Geoff Duke was the most famous HH pilot who broke the sound barrier in the 1950’s
Just started Helen Fieldings latest book, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy
Only a few pages in but still the same humour so looking forward to the rest.
Almost finished Anil´s Ghost by Michael Ondaatje. It´s about a young woman, born in Sri Lanka, educated in England and America, who returns to Sri Lanka as a forensic anthropologist to investigate the organsised murder campaigns engulfing the island.
It´s a really gripping story.
Firestarter by Stephen King atm…

[I]First, a man and a woman are subjects of a top-secret government experiment designed to produce extraordinary psychic powers.
Then, they are married and have a child. A daughter.
Early on the daughter shows signs of a wild and horrifying force growing within her. Desperately, her parents try to train her to keep that force in check, to “act normal.”
Now the government wants its brainchild back - for its own insane ends[/I]
Book 5 of the clan of the cave bear series, it’s interesting I read first three before I didn’t realise she had carried on writing them !
That’s sounds good
It´s excellent, at least I think so. Michael Ondaatje also wrote The English Patient.
Now reading “And the Mountains Echoed” by Khaled Hosseini. Half way through already, a really gripping story, every bit as good as The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
