Commo 1,292 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've always got a novel on the go, but at the same time perhaps getting on for a half dozen non-fiction which is probably why they last for so long! Some things like P G Wodehouse and Jennings are always in and out of the bookshelves, and especially in view of the weather over the last 12 months I find lots of excuses for not getting out in the garden, but at least I do feel guilty when I open up the pages! The Forum has cut into my reading time quite a bit over the last few months!! "My Old Man" by John Major - A history of the Music Hall, and not what some may think! "The Breaks are Off" - autobiography by Graeme Swann "Double Cross" by Ben Macintyre - story of the D-Day spies John Betjeman Letters vol 2 The above will last me a while but I will no doubt add others as and when the fancy takes!
