I’ve been listening to the Paul Temple audio books from the BBC series, there are 6 stories on the disc my Son gave me, each story has 7-8 episodes of 30 minutes long and I’m on the 4th story, great stuff to enjoy lying in bed when the other half is snoring (I have the earphones on). They are really good who-done-its, (or is that who did it?, I’m never sure), it brings me back to the days when we only had radio and I always loved the radio. The chap who plays Paul Temple is Peter Coke, at first I thought the narrator said Peter Cook, but it didn’t sound a bit like him and I looked him up, yep, it’s Coke. I’m getting too fond of these audio books and dont bother to read now, why should I when someone else reads it for me with a much better voice, and I dont need the light on.
I’m hoping to get the Philip Marlowe books next.
Sounds as if you’re really enjoying your son’s gift. Oddly enough, as I loved radio in the old days, I haven’t been able to get into audio books. One of our book clubs had a fantastic initial offer: 5 books for a penny! Which I took advantage of, then discovered I didn’t care to be read to with earphones. I ended up giving them to a friend; I need to hold a book or the Kindle and get the story through my eyes …odd, isn’t it?
I have just discovered Nicky Pellegrino her books are lovely they are set in Italy and you can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the smell of olive oil,tomatoes and basil when you are reading. The description of Italien food makes your mouth water but the the stories are about real people living, loving and struggling through real lives. Her first book is called Delicious.
I’m reading The Physician’s Tale by Ann Benson; a sequal to The Plague Tales. It’s set in the near future, very gripping if you enjoy apocalypse fiction, which I do.
Oh yes Annie has picked up a book… The Business by Martina Cole gosh there is a lot of swearing in it but I am persevering and rushing over the swear words, I can bugger and blast with the best of them but not rude words!.
I used to like Martina Cole some of her first books were really good but then her writing changed and her books became dark and depressing so that I can’t be doing with her any more.
Don’t forget Annie if you think of the real meaning bugger is a really bad word.
Am reading ‘Savages’ by Shirley Conran, 3/4 of the way through and am enjoying it.
For a change a nice automated phone call this morning from our library service.
The long awaited book is awaiting my collection.
The Barbed-Wire University: The Real Lives of Prisoners of War in the Second World War by Midge Gillies.
It is a hefty tome by any standards so I need to get weaving to read it all within the time allotted.
From the first few pages, it seems a good read.
Just curious, Hammer: how long can you keep the book? Here it used to be a month for a regular and two weeks for a new one; then changed to three weeks for all, regardless.
It is three weeks for us as well Eileen.
No chance of renewing the loan as there is a substantial reserve list for this particular book.
The trouble with me is that I often have to read the same section two or three times to make sure I have got it all.
We have the no-renewal policy on new books also. I don’t recall, are you a dim viewer about Kindles? Some people just don’t want one. I agree, free from the library is better than paying, but sometimes it’s nice to have a book you can return to and re-read.
I often keep looking at them and thinking of trying one for a while but Mrs H is an avid reader and will not be swayed from the feel, look and even the smell of a book.
Our little shoe box of a house is full of them and to be honest she reads them over and over again.
I’m sure she and I would get along well. 
As I mentioned in other threads, I lived in an 8 room house and there was a bookcase in every room but the living room and bathrooms! It took weeks to box them all up for donation. Maybe treat yourself to a Kindle for Christmas? That’s what I did, and love it; I’d have gone mad in hospital without it.
pecked to death by ducks by tim cahill
very funny stories of journeys, this books go from the highest free fall to the deepest caves along with grizzly bears and Aussies
The Quantum Universe: Everything that can happen does happen
A friend lent me this book so I suppose I have to read it so that he can discuss his views with me.:shock:
Just discovered Peter James. Don’t normally go for crime type books, but have enjoyed reading his; just finished ‘Dead Like You’.
