Just started 'the girl with the dragon tattoo' (apparently the original name of the book in sweden translates to 'man who hates women')

just did the first 13 chapters of Michael Connelly's latest Nine Dragons on the flight up to Tokyo from Perth - brilliant as ever, will doubtless finish it before I get home....

Meopham, Kent.
One Boys War by Anthony Rudd.

He was my uncle's navigator in the RAF in WWII, and when they were shot down by American "friendly fire". So there is a strong personal interest in the book.

Bugger, I meant The Associate :blush:

I'm reading The Associate at the moment. I like Grisham's books, even if the literary establishment class them as pap. They are always good stories.

Follow The Money by Shane Ross, basically about the cosy relationship between the bankers, government and the financial regulator in Ireland before the crisis.

Michel Houellebecq's Atomised, about the alienation and lack of happiness in a society based on rampant individualism and where everything/everyone is treated as a mere commodity for instant gratification.

Not a cheerful or light read, but much of it seems, sadly, to reflect contemporary life !!!

Finally got around to seeing the film yesterday: It's superb. Thoroughly recommend it. Keeps you gripped throughout :thumbsup:

I saw it last week, it made me want to read the book. Grisham, for me, seems to have strayed too far from the legal dramas and lost me as a fan, I'm looking for something to replace that (I like Jeffrey Deaver's stuff), and this seemed a good read.
