Oh I have that on my shelf to read, hope it lives up to the hype.

Currently finishing Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin. Absolutely fantastic book and a writing style quite unlike anything I've read before. It's all very simple, yet the tension and fear he manages to build up whenever the Gestapo/SS become involved is palpable.

That sounds good. Will add that to my list.

Finished " End of World Running Club" by Adrian Walker - Good read really enjoyed it, flew through it in a few days.. really makes me want to exercise, and not waste a minute as it were.

Now onto " The Seventh Scroll " by Wilbur Smith. 2nd in his Egyptian series, bit of a Treasure Hunt for a missing Pharaoh's Tomb, good easy read and Im racing through so a good sign.

 

[Hamilton]

The Paris Wife. All about Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson. If you like Hemingway and writers like F Scott Fitzgerald, then you'll love it.

I have had the Johnny Rotten autobiography since last Christmas and not got round to reading it. Going to start it this week though.

Heartstone by CJ Sansom, in the Shardlake series about a Tudor barrister / detective. And the brilliant Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall.

 

[The Clamp]

The Poisoning in the Pub by Simon Brett. Part of his " Fethering " series of lighthearted detective novels set in West Sussex that I discovered a few days ago in the library. Rather good. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into these. The author lives in Arundel and the influence and references to Sussex locales and the Downs is a joy.
Also reading The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn by Colin Dexter. Also very good.

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan

 

[W.C.]

The First trailer for " Ready Player One " has been released if you have not seen it, really hope they make a good job of it

Just watched that. PLaying Joust in amongst all that eye candy is going to look a bit funny surely!

The Diary of Anne Frank. Been meaning to get round to it for years, but finally picked it up as I'm off to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks and wanted to visit the annexe. Its very poignant.

Poignant isn't the word for the Museum. Made me and a lot of others cry. Get there early - the queues are huge. I was more affected by it than my recent visit to the Imperial War Museum Holocaust exhibition.

Cheers. I'll be booking tickets in advance online (although I gather there's still a queue when you get there). The whole subject fascinates me, I've been looking at the plans of the building and the secret annex at the back. Its going to be very strange and emotional going there, having read the diary.
