The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness by Erich Fromm

Laugh a minute

"43 Years With The Same Bird" by Brian Reade.

The 'bird' refers to the liver bird, symbol of Liverpool.

Laugh out loud funny on nearly every page! Brilliant!

OMG cant believe im going to admit to this Catherine Cookson The Tinker Gril

Jesus

I'm up to 14 years with the same bird

As I amusingly remarked to her, moments before spending the night in the spare room, a fella serves less for murder

Monsters by Stephen Sebag Montifiore

Excellent book about histories most evil men and women, covers 101 of the most nasty, also got the second book Heroes but somehow reading about nice people isn't quite the same

I am reading 3 at the moment: 2 are are for two bookclubs I belong to..1984 by George Orwell..The Brutal Art by Jesse Kellerman, and my own personal choice book is Path Of Glory by Jeffrey Archer and is about the Mountaineer, George Mallory..that may seem a lot to read but I can only read up to so many pages for the book club ones at a time until the next discussion and I read very fast, so always have a personal back up to read so I dont cheat

The King's Secret Matter by Jean Plaidy about Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. Am reading The King's Pleasure now by Norah Lofts, same story from a different perspective (I am having a Tudor interval! )

See 'spare room'

Currently reading The Unfinished Clue by Georgette Hey.

I am just about to start the fourth book from the 'Twilight' series.. they are sooooooooo good..

the next one I am reading in the follow on book by Gloria Hunniford about her daughter Caron Keating fight against cancer, I read Next to you and blubbed like a baby, the reason I read it was we as a family were going through the similar thing with a family member and it was profoundly comforting, so I am now going to start the next one which is Always with you.

im reading 'dead sky' tami hoag

and

the 'beano' annual 1982

Just finished White Tiger which was Ok if a bit light for a booker winner.

Currently reading Buddah Da by Anne Donovan which is excelent, great dialect writing. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Just finished Breaking Dawn by S. Meyer again
And am now reading Pillow Talk- Freya North

Drop Zone ~ Michael Salazar

It was ok, bobbed along at a fair old speed, pretty horrific in places.

Now reading Red October ~ Clancy

I think her biggest problem in writing this book is the lack of factual documentation available in relation to jane rochford, this is noticeable at times, she uses words like "possibly jane attended" or "maybe jane thought" which some readers didn't like, i thought i'd give it a go and really enjoyed it.

Just about to start The sisters who would be queen by Leanda De Lisle about the grey sisters, looks good

I read that and being from Glasgow I was completely on board with the dialect. 'S a pure crackin' wee book i'nt it?

Finished The Damned United by David Peace
recently, it's the book that the Cloughie film was based on recently.

Still not got round to reading Lionel Shriver's
book after "We need to talk about Kevin"


Has anyone ever read anything by Richard Milward, looks gritty and good to me.

It's been on my shelf for year but I've only just got round to it and I'm loving it. Love the dialect and how it differs for each of the three protagonists. Only one I'm struggling with is the word for crying which is a new one on me.

Have either of you read Norah Lofts on the Tudor period? I am reading The King's Pleasure now and am then going to go on to The Concubine about Anne Boleyn. She's a good author and really captures the period. For instance in The King's Pleasure she goes right back to the birth of Katherine

Cider With Roadies by Stuart Maconie. Ace. Brough back lots of memories of the North West

Yup squiggle , I love Norah Lofts I didn't like 'The lute player' much though
