Following on from films, my best reads in the past 2 months have been Atonement, a few John Connolly books featuring private detective Charlie Parker, Stuart Maconie Pies & Prejudice, Parisians Graham Robb, and by far the best of all The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. How did he escape my radar? Unputdownable.

My best recent reads have been Dames Don't Care by Peter Cheyney, and Corruption by Hank Janson. I didn't let 'er indoors see them though!

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, by Jonas Jonasson.
Somebody else must have read this, I'm never with the trend.

Terrific narrative thread, easy read, very funny. Great holiday reading, unfortunately I decided to check out a few pages yesterday morning and have somewhat neglected my duties since and read the rest of it!

As mentoned before just read From the Plough, From the City - Alexander Baron. Cracking novel based on an UK army unit from before D-Day.
At the moment reading Mark Thomas (Lefite comedian) Extreme Rambling about the wall along the West Bank. A political slant, but very readable all the same. Well recommended.

Ed Macy.
Just read Hellfire and am half way through Apache.
Fascinating, riveting, humbling.
