I am reading the Official Biography 'The lives of Bill Deedes'written by Steven Robinson

Ellie by Lesley Pearse. (love lesley- all her books are fab) and Chavs:The Demonisation of the Working Class by Owen Jones.

Both are 'un put downables' and so I read a chapter a piece.

Just finished the full Lee Childs Jack Reacher series....love a bit of escapism

Just finishing the fourth book in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series [Game of Thrones] by George R R Martin.

Jack Reacher, my ideal man

I'm currently reading the posts on this thread

I have just started reading Tea in a jam jar. Birkenhead through the 1860s to 1959 by Irene Kelly,
Rude, I read Chavs last year it’s a very good read, have you read any Polly Toynbee books, very cheap on Amazon.
My next read is going to be Poverty and insecurity, life in low-pay, no pay Britain. By Tracy Shildrick, Robert MacDonald, Colin Scott Webster & Kayleigh Garthwaite.

Shall check them out Rotty.

I am currently reading low brow stuff-

Cheryl Cole-My Story
Gallery Girl- Wendy Holden

I make no apologies.

Both are library books-we must use our libraries to stop the feckers shutting them down!!!!!!

i agree rude, libraries are vital to the communities, the staff in my local one are great (upton) such a great help, so much pressure on them though, teaching beginners how to use the computers, Universal Jobmatch, soon to be Universal Credit, they deserve a pay rise, will they get it for all the extra work load, somehow i dont think so.

Disgraceful Rotty. Link to follow-BT thread x

im stuck for a book at the moment after reading
Justin Cronin.. "the passage" and "the twelve",

so ive started the George rr Martin game of thrones
series again for the 3rd time, they really are
superbly written and gripping

what do you think of them so far ?

Hi Jabber_is. The books are great, & as you say they are well written. There are some really strong characters & it has been interesting to see how they have evolved and opinions of them change ie The Kingslayer & The Hound. My two favourites from the beginning have been Arya Stark & Tyrion. I'm half way through the last book & don't know what to read next as it will be quite a while before the sixth volume is published.

strange that as they are both my 2 favourite characters too, reading them 3rd time round helps lots of the plots drop into place properly and has really set the history to the world for me,

Have u read any of his other works ? Ive read the Sandkings, although its a short book its a very captivating read,

if you read on an e reader i can send u a copy via email if you like
