Forever Young: The Story of Adrian Doherty, Football's Lost Genius by Oliver Kay.

It is about a young guy from Tyrone, into writing songs, poetry and playing music, who just happened to play for the Man United youth team/reserve team.

Very easy read, nice flow to it and it is not a typical 'football book' so you do not have to be into football to read it.

I'm reading Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters, it's probably the first Discworld book that hasn't grabbed me. I'll probably take a break when I'm done and reading something else.

Just finished The Girl On The Train. Good book.

The girl on the train herself was a pain in the face tough.

It also makes you realise that you might perceive some people living certain lives but the reality is often the opposite.

The Watcher by Ross Armstrong

Doctor Nick

Currently reading House of Bones by Graham Masterton.


Waiting on Mississippi Blood by Greg Iles to be released, have been eagerly awaiting this final installment of a seriously good trilogy.

Hande hoche!

Typhoon by Conrad. A very short but enjoyable read.

I am reading Dancing at Lughnasa. The eldest did it for the Leaving Cert a few years back, and I found her copy of it. I never thought I would find myself reading a play again since my own Leaving, but it is brilliant

Wardling

Just finished it today. Quick & easy read. Very enjoyable.

I'm reading "Do not pass GO" by Tim Moore. An exploration of London streets and areas,as they are listed on the Monopoly board. If you like Bill Bryson, this is in the same vein.

Belle E. Flops

'Mistborn' by Brandon Sanderson.

I've some time off now so I'm looking forward to getting properly stuck into it.

Reading Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me and Other Essays. It's a really interesting albeit depressing collection. My attention span is not the best at present so the short essays are ideal!

I'm reading The Lost City of Z, it's about reallife adventurers.

Just received notification that Mississippi Blood by Greg Iles is ready to be picked. Impressed, it was only published a few days ago. Really looking forward to it. It's the final part of the Natchez Burning trilogy and been a few years since I started the first book. Doctor Nick is happy.

The Many Coloured Land by Julian May. It's the first book in a trilogy about people who use a one-way device to go back in time to the Pliocene era and when they get there find they're not the first. It's part sci-fi, part fantasy and takes a whole lot from Irish mythology.

First read it about 20 years ago and it's one of those rare series that I g back to and reread every couple of years.

They're the same softbacks I initially read in the 90s. Falling apart slightly now, so I might have to look at getting replacements.
