The Marr histories are all very good.

If I can get a moment :-)

[Glenbyjess]

Shuggie Bain, by Douglas Stuart

[ToraToraTora]

I am Spock - Leonard Nimoy
Thursday Murder Club - Richard Osman

[pastafreak]

I've not read any thing in a while, so I'm about to start Things in Jars by Jesse Kidd. I may also attempt to dip my toes into Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom by Patrick Moore, which I expect to be way over my head...it was recommended by an intelligent friend.

//Thursday Murder Club - Richard Osman //

I found that utterly dire. If he wasn't well-known I doubt very much it would have found itself ever out of the slush pile. I abandoned it with pleasure.

Victoria Hislop…. I tried 'The Island'. A paragraph in and I found my mind wandering. Not for me.

Thursday Murder Club is heading to Hollywood surprisingly.

[Sam1960]

SAS Sea King Down, by Mark Aston & Stuart Tootal.
A true story of the units tasks in the Falklands. Thoroughly enjoying it.

[Pete65]

"The Blood of Emmett Till" by Timothy B. Tyson.

[goodgoalie]

'Earworm' by Colin Tully

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, I remember Spielberg buying the film rights when it was first published. Hopefully it will make a good film.

[emmie]

re reading Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, brilliant book and very poignant, about her life and those she loved, many of whom never to return from the Great War, and her later life as a pacifist, and author.

[rowanwitch]

Flitting between J M Dalgliesh's Norfolk Detective series, a couple of books on Autism in later life, and a beginner's guide to Geology.

As you know, I loved that.
Have you tried the Marlow Murder Club?

[middlemarch]

Naomi, I could not agree more about The Thursday Murder Club, I thought it was rubbish.
Just started Sandy Gall's Afghan Napoleon.

[naomi24]

No, I haven’t, ich, but I’ve just seen Richard Osman’s new book in the bookshop. Forgotten what it’s called but I won’t be buying it.

Middlemarch, you’re an ABer of great taste. ;o)

[ichkeria]

It’s a jolly romp about a nudist crossword setter who overhears her neighbour being murdered.
Very Marlow-centric with real local places.
I don’t think I’d like George Eliot - and possibly not Victoria Hislop either which is a shame as I’ve met her and she’s lovely. Hard to believe she’s married to Ian :-)

[naomi24]

Ich, it’s not the stories that put me off - it’s his dire writing style.
