having done a lot of sitting around at airports yesterday, I have finished my previous book and am now reading Dawn On a Distant Shore by Sara Donati - the second in a series of novels about the white settlers and native Americans in 19th century USA. It has some fabulous Mohawk names for some of the characters - Runs-From-Bears, for one
Don't waste your time away thinking about yesterday's blues

I'm currently proof-reading my post in this thread.....
Other books I'm currently reading include "3000 Strangers" by J Ann Paul (about navvy life on the Kettering to Manton railway), and "Lost Railways of Leicestershire & Rutland" by Geoffrey Kingscott.
Yep, I've read that book several times (and watched the tv series) - I'm currently trying to decipher Stage 4 - The Vigenere Cipher.sjwoodman wrote:
Am also a fan of popular science books am also reading The Code Book by Simon Singh (for the second time). It gives an introduction to cryptography through the ages (Caesar -> Mary Queen of Scots -> present day). It might sound a bit geeky but it's very well written and accessible to anyone.

I suspect he has an inkling!

It's only cheating if you get caught.

Currently reading Forgotten Voices of the second world war by Max Arthur.
Before that it was Their darkest hour by Laurence Rees.
Both are real life history lessons and don't half make you think..
Before these two it was Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne. Kiddys book but good light relief!
(oh yeah and a copy of the Melton Times/crimes the olds brought me on their last trip )

Winnie The Pooh, Thomas The Tank Engine and Mr Bean. After endless hours of readings and re-readings of them to my nephew Lewis who is three years old, I've become strangely fixated with them. At the very same time, Lewis seems to want more sophisticated reading matter now and appears to have outgrown his uncle.

I found Kathy Reichs a bit difficult to read as well - not particularly sympathetic. But it would have helped if I hadn't seen 'Bones' on Sky1.Frustrated player wrote:I'm currently reading 'bones to ashes' by kathy reichs.
Bit hard to get into but any of her other books I've read are the same.
Currently reading 'Imperium' by Robert Harris. A bit slow starting, but getting going now.
