Having a re-read of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger. Saw it in the library and just had a yen to read it again.

New issue of VIZ, and lo and behold there's a new Drunken Bakers comic strip! Lovely stuff.

[Bruce Rioja]

Halfway through Fatty Batty. Absolutely superb.

[General Mannerheim]

anybody read this? might pick it up... Titanic Thompson: The Man Who Bet on Everything

[Harry Genshaw]

I'm reading Alan Sugars autobiography 'What you see is what you get'. A page turner but good God he's a self righteous tosser. Always quite liked the guy before hand as well

[Bruce Rioja]

'What you see is what you get'.

"Try to take control of it and not meeeeee...."

Oh, sorry.

How do you think film and book compare? I think the film tidies up a plot that is a bit convoluted in book form.

Enjoyed the film, but the books were great for the period they were written in. Films have made Bond a bit too tongue -in-cheek amusing for me. Daniel Craig is a decent and more believable Bond, but I liked the original scripts from Fleming. As I said, they were of times past. None the less enjoyable. I'm currently reading The Falconer's Tale, a modern day spy/intelligence novel.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Much much much prefer the Bond books to films.

Started 'Inverting the Pyramid' by Jonathan Wilson - all about the history and evolution of football tactics. Heavy stuff but very engaging.

[clapton is god]

'Alone in Berlin' by Hans Fallada.

I think it was mentioned on here some considerable time ago and i've just got round to getting it. Looking forwards to making a start on it this evening.

[Harry Genshaw]

Just finished Dunblane unburied. Absolute shite.

Movd onto 'In the shadow of Papillon' which has already got me gripped.

[TANGODANCER]

Just got into John Grisham's The Innocent Man. Based on a true story and with great reviews.

Just finished it HG. Non-fiction and a real eye-opener into a part of the great American justice system. Enjoyed it.

Went on a bit of a history book binge last week.

firstly ' The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich' by William L Shirer. Half way through so far and it is superb, an eye-opening and probing account by an American journalist who was stationed in Germany at the time. The only grumble I have with it really is the illustrations mostly seem to be at odds with what is being described on the page. But that's a minor ailment for an excellent book.

Also got 'The Gulag Archipelago' (Solzhenitsyn), 'A History of Modern Britain' (Marr) and although not non-fiction a book I've been meaning to read for years...'To Kill a Mockingbird' (Lee). Should keep me occupied for quite a while
