This when it hits the UK and the price is sensible:

The True Adventures of the World's Greatest Stuntman

http://www.amazon.co.uk/True-Adventures ... 259&sr=1-1

It's OK, but there's so many incidents over so many years that you never really get much detail on any of them, or any real thought insight :?


Wonder Woman: The Complete History - The Life and Times of the Amazon Princess

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Woman-Co ... 232&sr=1-1

Have to say I'm finding the old artwork and consequent dialogue really hard going (the book's mostly a series of pictures of everything WW-related) :(

And I was quite chuffed when I spotted the above two books in the library :lol: :oops:

I'm currently reading The Business by Iain Banks and Excession by Iain M. Banks. They seem to have very similar writing styles.

I've read both of those within the last year. :)

I'm currently reading Crime and Punishment (still!) and The Ghost of White Hart Lane. I've also bought recently on various offers James Patterson - Cross Fire, Mark Billingham - From The Dead, John Grisham - The Confession and Joseph Heller - Catch 22.

If I get through them some time in the next millennium I also fancy One Day by David Nicholls.

Just finished Deamon from Daniel Suarez. I couldn't put it down. It is only the second book I've read in German, which I finished it in under a week. I orderee the sequel, Darknet, yesterday from Thalia.

I got another Karen Rose for Tina and myself, I read a few of them already, they are very gruesome, but easy to read, the heroes are clean cut, the girl who falls for him is still inteligent and the bad guys are really bad.

The new one looks a bit different though.

I've read all the Lee Child books and am beginning to detect a bit of a pattern........ ;)

Currently reading Mort by Terry Pratchett but will order some Ian Rankin (Rebus) books for the Kindle.

Just started 'I Am Ozzy,' the autobiography of Ozzy Osbourne. It's quite funny and surprisingly detailed considering he comes across these days as partially brain-damaged.
