What are you reading at the moment?

Well I've picked up "Mystery in the Minster" by Susanna Gregory (that has just come out and landed on my doorstep this morning)

Mervyn Peake will have to wait a little longer.

I find that when rereading the trilogy I often separate out the books with other stuff - uncharacteristically for my reading. I think it's to give my subconscious time to unpack the layers of allusion and poetry. They're so great.

And that's that done in.... NEXT!

You're speed reading qualified, aren't you?

 

[hunnymonster]

Nope - but sometimes if I get really engrossed in a book I can't put it down...

I'm mounting an assault on David Brin's Uplift books. I was 2/3 of the way through Sundiver before realising I'd read it before - I was wondering why it all seemed so familiar!

 

[Arrowhead]

Funny you should say that Doc. With about 20 pages left I can now say with some confidence that yes, I've read the Rebus book before. Doesn't matter a bit though.

 

[Dr Rick]

I'm lucky enough to have a terrible memory for fiction - I can enjoy rereads just as much as the first time!

Kindle: Tinker, Tailor - Le Carre

Actual book: No Mean City - A. McArthur / H. Kingsley Long (for about the twentieth time)

 

[Blyth Spirit]

Still plodding through the thirties with the master who is Eric Ambler, this one is called "Journey Into Fear."

Ambler is the guy who influenced both Greene and Fleming.

Tommy's honour...the story of old tom morris - kevin cook

 

[hunnymonster]

And that's that done in.... NEXT!

My Soul to Take (Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's second novel for adults) done in... can't decide what to read next.

 

[Arrowhead]

Mervyn has missed out again, to yet another book which has found its way here having been discarded by the library service. Peter Robinson: "All the Colours of Darkness". I'm not convinced yet, for all the enthusiastic puff on the dustcover from Marcel Berlins and Ian Rankin.

 

[Fido]

The First Forty Nine Stories - Ernest Hemingway. I read Hemingway's autobiography and have collected most of his books which I am slowly working my way through. The collection of short stories I've been reading with the cricket on these past few days was published in 1939. Typical Hemingway tales against a background of big game hunting, deep water fishing and bullfighting and the great outdoors as well as city life.

 

[Jack Force]

Roger Deakin- Wildwood, a journey through trees.

Looking at trees, use of wood and its symbolism in cultures and art.

I have Deakins Waterlog to read next but not sure whether to have a break into another genre prior to reading that or to keep the flow going.

Cross by Ken Bruen (a weird sort of troubled - alcoholic of course - bloke-drummed-out-the-Gardai-turned-PI thing set in Galway) & Little Girl Lost by Brian McGilloway done in last evening... then opened up Yrsa Sigurðardóttir's third book... Ashes to Dust.
