Just returned from Turkey

No hire car, so I read a book on the beach, now completed.

Highly recommended story of a Notts lad.

I could not put it down.

I will post Notts excerpt here when I get time.

I have just started reading a book that was written by a friend from the next village. It is about building a community. The small village has two busses per week and the only amenity was a 90 year ol

Re. The Ten Commandments.  Their primary purpose was to set a standard, NONE of us can meet.  See Paul's comments in Galations in which he refers to them as a "Schoolmaster" to bring us to Christ.  Yo

There is a thread "What are you listening to............................"

Thought it would be interesting to see what members were reading at the moment.

Chris Arnot did a talk about that book (post number 1) and one about lost football grounds, at The Ship at Lowdham the other week, would like to have been there. Please let us know what you reckon to it, Bubblewrap.

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!

Just finished Ian Rankin's latest Rebus offering, thoroughly enjoyed it ! so made me start reading his first novels again, right back to the beginning of Rebus.

Just love Rankins way with words and dark humour he gets into the story.
