In my own strange world
"Backroom Boys" by Edward Smithies, it's a collection of personal testimonies of Men and Women who built,designed, serviced and flew aircraft during WW2, very interesting,gives a whole new perspective of the crucial seldom heard roles played by "ordinary" people to help win the War.

Lancing By Sea
The Last Bloody Straw by JD Kirk.

On holiday in Scotland got this recommended by a guy in Glasgow waterstones.

Set on Canna, near Skye where we went.

The best book I've read this year. I will be getting more from this author and reading them from the safety of home on the south coast.

Highly recommended.

Ask Bearders. A fine sign off from the TMS Statistician, Cricket has such amazing stats, such as a batsman who was killed in the fIrst innings by a blow to the heart and was given out second dig as 'Retired Dead'. :lolol:

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

My third attempt at that a few weeks back, and my third failure. Binned it off 50 odd pages in this time, the furthest I’ve yet managed. I know it’s considered a classic but ‘the bird’ just doesn’t sing to me.

Was that Andrew Ducat? I know he died in the middle of a match.

Ian Folley did too but I think he died after Bearders did

Yes, the early pages are hard work, but I am determined to see it through.

Peter James - The Secret of Cold Hill. Almost seems to read in real time. Unputdownable for 80 or 90 pages, a bit frustrating where I am now, but hoping for another 100 odd unputdownable pages runout to the end.
