What book are you reading now?

Not a book as such, but a short story; The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty by James Thurber.

Inside Out - The Inside Story of Pink Floyd by Nick Mason.
What else?:cool:

I met a chap at my healing group last week and got talking to him. Nice chap.
It turns out he has just written his first book.
I asked him to bring me a copy to the next meeting, and he remembered.
So this is what I am going to read next.

It is called “From Builder to Healer.”

Hi

I am currently reading Understanding Women.

I have not got passed Volume Two.

Only another 137 Volumes to go.:mrgreen:

You’re getting there, then !!! …:wink: :lol:

Almost finished reading “Robin the Hoodie” an ASBO history of Britain by Hans Christian Asbosen.

I don´t think I have ever read anything so funny. They are short stories related to historical figures, very much changed from the normal accounts.

First one is Queen Boadicea´s big night out.

Oliver Twist has become orphan Jamie Oliver Twist. Dick Turpin was a notorious charity mugger. etc etc.

It´s pure comedy. A good sense of humour is definitely needed.

Oi, what’s that got to do with the builder’s book?

Are you trying to tell me something? :lol:

Hi

I have given up on reading about Understanding Women, far too difficult for my tiny brain to comprehend.

I am now reading a series of papers about advanced Quantum Physics .

These are fascinating, they explain how a complete new Universe could pop up in your dog basket in your kitchen at any instant in time and result in a Bedlington several hundreds of millions of times larger than the known Universe.

Much easier to understand than women.:mrgreen:

You are going quite bonkers.
We must find you something to do. . .

Twink, where are you, here’s another one we will need to take into care.
We are beginning to notice this after men retire. :lol:

I am reading the romantic love story of Catherine de Valois once Queen of England and France who married her squire Owen Tudor .

I am at present reading, ‘The rise and fall of the Walthamstow dog stadium’.
Easier that trying to understand woman.

I have just happened upon Mark Billingham and his Detective Thorne series, currently on book two “Scaredy Cat” and it is good - but seriously gruesome!

Ooh no Tabs, I don’t do gruesome.

Just finished Don’t Know Much About the Bible by Kenneth Davis and have now started The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner, a book about evolutionary biology that focuses on the Finches in the Galapagos Islands.

The Immigration Invasion: How Third World Immigration is Destroying the First World and What Must be Done to Stop It Kindle Edition

If you are interest in such subjects - and others - then this website might be of use to you …

Though I search for the titles using Google and track them down elsewhere such as the above title on Amazon.

I’m currently reading Elvis Costello’s autobiography, “Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink” - I’ve always liked his music and think he is ridiculously underrated as a singer, songwriter and producer. He was also a local lad and worked for a while at the Elizabeth Arden perfume factory at Park Royal. The factory still has a poster outside announcing that “Elvis has left the building!”

This is an example of his songwriting genius (as an extra bonus it features jazz great Chet Baker playing a beautiful trumpet solo).

Pillars of the Earth is a fantastic read, my son has the paper back and i have the kindle version, its a must read if you enjoy his books

At present i am reading through some books that are free to kindle, came across some really good ones.

I also enjoy books by Robert Crane, Agatha Christie, J.D.Robb ( her “In Death” series ) is superb, currently 45 book series with more to come, Debbie Macomber, Barbara Taylor-Bradford and Danielle Steel, a wide variety.

I read that some while ago. If it is the one I am thinking of, is there a part 2 of it?
