Just finished Rivers Of London. Would not rate it that highly. Thought it was a Victorian crime novel but it turned into some Harry Potter style shit. Santa bought me Do It For Your Mum which I will start next. Its The Story of British Sea Power written by Roy Wilkinson who is elder brother and one time manager of the group. Lots of references to places and people of Brighton/lewes. Printed in a limited run of 2011 I have got copy number 1361. For those that are interested!

Herodotus - The Histories.
I'm such a frustrating reader - I get part way through more than one book at a time based on whats at hand in various locations.
Current commuting read is the new Jonathan Wilson Brian Clough Biography - Nobody ever says thank you. Utterly compelling and all the better for having been written by one of the last old school football journalists who writes good prose as well as presenting the facts.
Also on the go with Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane - far better than the film which I thought was superb. I love it when a film comes from a book and I didn't know about it because you get the chance to relive it as it was meant to be taken.

A different kind of pasty
Just started a book given to me for Christmas called "A schoolboys war in Sussex" by James Roffey (the eponymous schoolboy). Tells the experiences of the author as a child evacuated from Peckham to Pullborough in WWII. Only read the first chapter last night, but hooked already.

'Matilda' by Roald Dahl. Hadn't read it for about 23 years.
1000 Years of Annoying the French: Amazon.co.uk: Stephen Clarke: Books
1000 Years of Annoying the French! Wonderful book, and a great way to learn about our greatest rival

Got about 100 pages through the Jonathan Wilson 'Nobody Ever Says Thank You' Brian Clough Biography before impatiently deciding to read 'We Want Falmer!' before continuing. Over halfway through that now. What an effort from all involved. After these two I will read 'The Dice Man' by Luke Rhinehart.

Just got a Kindle. Am avoiding the temptation to overload it with everything I ever wanted to read, but haven't got round to yet.
So far... just The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw: The Robin Friday Story by Paul McGuigan and Paolo Hewitt; and The Death of Rural England: A Social History of the Countryside Since 1900 by Alun Howkins (who is a mate of mine).

I am currently on my third Stuart MacBride book called Dying Light.
As a Peter James/Roy Grace fan and having read all the Roy Grace books, Stuart MacBride/Logan McRae set in Aberdeen is the closest I have found to the Roy Grace series.

"By George" by Wesley Stace, 2/3 of the way through and an excellent read - I won't try and explain the story line other than to say that a ventriloquist's dummy is one of the main characters.
Wesley Stace hails from Hastings I believe and is perhaps better known as singer songwriter John Wesley Harding. He has an album out at the moment "The sound of his own voice" which is also rather good. In the words of I. Drury esq, "...there ain't 'alf been some clever bastards...".
A book titled "We want Falmer" is next on my reading list, I have heard that it is rather good and has a nice ending.

Just finished this too. Thought it was a great read and good cliff hanger at the end for anyone else who is reading the Roy Grace series.
"The Gruffalo's Child."
