[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[beardy gull]

I’ve just finished The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow.

Cracking book about the narco wars of the 70s-80s, including CIA involvement in political assassinations, corruption etc.

I’m going to start the sequel, The Cartel now.

I’m halfway through The Power of the Dog. Really enjoying it. First book of a trilogy.
Hoping The Cartel and The Border keep to the same standard.

Same. Gawd bless ya Amazon Prime! About 2 short chapters in, will report back in due course. Initial premise promisingly set tho. Not too earlydoors to state definitively that the graphic designer has played a blinder there Jeff

They are.
I finally finished The Border over lockdown, but , I had started it this time last year. I had an operation that had some quite uncomfortable side effects and I started having nightmares about the book, so, I stopped reading it, and read books not as hard hitting.

1Q84 book 2
Bargain from Kindle - got all three books for something like £4 in total so thought “why not?”. Enjoyed the first book but it doesn’t stand alone; books 1 & 2 appear to be one bloody long book conveniently sliced in the middle....

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Makes complete sense. I understand and agree with what he is saying, I just don't have the intellect to have put it the way he does.

Ditto.
An excellent work in exposing religion for the con that it is.

 

[Jaxie]

My Life by Fidel Castro and Ignacio Ramonet. Set out as an interview, engaging read.

Just read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, which was excellent, the first book I’ve read in a long time that I just couldn’t put down. I would thoroughly recommend it.
