What's everyone reading.....

I started to read Lying in State by Tim Slessor but its hard work.

My next book to read is Trusted Mole by Milos Stankovic.

I can recommend This Is Serbia Calling.
My mum leant me a book to read in October, which I took on holiday, but i cant find it or remember its name. It was about the Stassi in East Germany, and how they interrogated people and messed them up. It was brilliant, if you see what I mean.

One of my colleagues gave me a book called Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner, which if you are interseted in the German psyche and the downfall of the revolution is absolutely fascinating.

I love reading about real life, read less and less fiction all the time.

If you remember it I would be interested to know.

I'm in the middle of Tell No One by Harlan Coben, given to me on my birthday. Pretty easy reading thriller, I'm enjoying it.

As for recommendations - my favourites are Pillars of the Earth and it's follow up World Without End by Ken Follett. they follow the story of builders, farmers, monks, priests, nuns, dukes, kings etc in the 1100 to 1300s. Over 1000 pages apiece but great stories and bloomin interesting. not a ski in sight, we really don't know how lucky we are!

I'm getting back to my book now...

Ideally: Like Rose, I usually take biographies on holiday as they are easy to put down and pick up again.

I have just finished the last of the four books by Dave Pelzer, A Boy Called it, The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave, true story but so sad. I bawled my eyes out while reading them.

Argos Catalogue.
