A Land Of Two Halves (An Accidental Tour of New Zealand) - by Joe Bennett. As good as the Bill Bryson travel books. Bennett grew up in GOSBTS, before moving to NZ.

I have just finished A Good Day to Die by Simon Kernick.

Really hard to put it down. Read the second half in the pub this afternoon.

Just finished "Any Human Heart" by William Boyd which is very good about Logan Mountstuart and just started Willie John Mcbride biography which he signed for me as I was at a corporate lunch he attended last Friday.

Penguins stop play

it is really excellent. brilliant ending

It is an absolutely brilliant book and anyone who's got a passing interest in cricket HAS to read it.

I suppose it's how you define 'brilliant ending'. If you mean 'you go from laughing your arse off to trying to stop yourself crying like a little girl, even though you're on a packed train in a couple of chapters', then yes, the ending's brilliant.

I read that a few years ago.
It took a little while to get my head around the fact it is actually fictional.
From memory, a very good read.

Charlotte Gray - Sebastien Faulks

Beautifully written, but thoroughly depressing.

Went to CH with him, never thought he would become an author
