What are you reading tonight?

[keveh]

Yeah I have read that one, it's about the kid with autism isn't it?

[thebish]

I may get one crime book, but don't want my entire holiday to be full of doom and gloom.

So if you want to recommend one of them that would be useful.

Ta!

Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell - you'll not be disappointed....

(I'm sure the missus will want some of your time too, though!)

[TANGODANCER]

Just finished re-reading Treasure Island. Still see Robert Newton in my mind as the all-time best Long John Silver.

That's probably worth money!

Well, the parrot keeps shouting "Pieces of eight", but the pic's from Google images and the book's a modern copy I bought for two quid in a book sale, so guess no treasure?

[Lofthouse Lower]

The Blizzard - Issue One.

Free e-copy to anyone who wants it - collection of the best football writers around all brought together by Jonathan 'Inverting the Pyramid' Wilson

Just finished Transistion by Ian Banks, not for me far too think didn't understand any of it

[Harry Genshaw]

Just finished 'Feet in the clouds' - I would definitely recommend it to any runners on here (particularly fell runners)

I can answer that as that book is sat on my bookshelf too.

Nigel Askwith is the author and I too would recommend it as one of those books that stay with you long after the reading of it. And I'm not a runner.

Thank you both. I shall have a butcher's 'ook.

Don't know what it's going to be like, but got Bill Bryson's "Life and times of the Thunderbolt Kid" from the library. A quick skim impressed me enough to give it a go.

[Il Pirate]

Has anyone ever read 'The Rochdale Thunderbolt'? I forget the authors name. (Book now away 'upstairs' ). He was a boxing trainer in Rochdale for many years. The book is the life story of Jock McAvoy; one of the best boxers ever to come out of Britain. Well worth a read if you can get a copy.

Let us know what you think Tango. Personally, I found it to be as good as everything he has ever written although I suspect it will appeal to older readers more.
