Thanks for that.

Free you say?:D I will give that a shot.

Am reading "The Legendary "LUGS" Brannigan" . about a third of the way in, fairly interesting so far.

Finished "Lugs", a bit of a chore. Fairly interesting, but very repetitive, and could easily have been cut down by 50%.

Getting stuck in to " I am Pilgrim", really enjoying that.

Porno by Irvine Welsh. It's the follow up to trainspotting & skagboys. I'm enjoying it but I forgot how much effort is needed to read these books.

'The Hypnotist' by Lars Keplar. The first outing of Chief Inspector Joona Linna. One of the strangest and most enjoyable crime books I've ever read.

S.E. Hinton's 'The Outsiders'.

I have 30 pages left to read, but I am afraid to read them because I don't want it to be over.

It's basically Catcher in the Rye with hoodlums instead of preppies.

Might read it again when I'm finished.

The Argos Catalogue. Amazing read.

take everything

Reading about 8 kindle ebooks at a time.
I say reading. I mean I'm half way through each one with no real end in sight.

Then I go out and download another one from amazon.

Damn you tempting ebooks.
Damn you to hell.

What are the titles, and would you recommend them?

Chocolat by Joanne Harris. I have to say I'm surprised, I'm really enjoying it! In fact I can barely put it down. The film really doesn't do it justice.

The sequel is excellent too.

Falling Man by Don DeLillo. I'm about halfway through and it's leaving me cold to be honest. It seems a little…forced.

'So you've been publicly shamed' by Jon Ronson.

A very easy, entertaining read concerning incidents social media and other wise where people have been caught misrepresenting themselves or have made a dodgy statement that has caused them to be ridiculed and shamed by the masses. Definitely one for the park or beach during the hot weather. I'm flying through it.

I read that recently. Love Ronson's stuff and this latest one was no exception. Ironically, he's become embroiled in a bit of a "public shaming" incident directed at him today, regarding a line he edited out of his book.

I also read "The Dinner" by Herman Koch, which was very enjoyable if a bit grim for reading while travelling.

Wolf Hall - -Hillary Mantel

And a load of half read e books too!

I finished The Bone Clocks earlier this week and would really, really recommend it. I was hooked towards the end and was reading whenever I had a spare moment, and it's a while since I've had a book like that. Whoever was saying about bringing it on holiday, definitely do, it's the kind of book to sink into over a few days.

I'm now onto The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I'm not usually into short stories, but I love her novels and so I decided to give it a go. I'm almost halfway through, and I've loved all the stories so far.

That's great, Gutenberg, thanks for that, good to know! I was already looking forward to reading The Bone Clocks, so it's great to get a brilliant review for it.

I just finished Stephen King, Revival. I really enjoyed it, but be warned, it has one of the most haunting creepy endings I've ever read.
