I've been going to the radio 2 bookclub for ideas and I think I got the one I'm reading now from there. Very unusual subject matter - that's all I'm saying
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

I'm now nearly haflway through this book and I recommend it to anyone. Told through the eyes of four people it's a great story and I can't wait to read the rest of it. Thanks for mentioning that. I downloaded it. May give it a go after this book. _________________Still the official cheeky one

Chapman Pincher: Dangerous To Know - Great so far, he's a journo who had some impeccable sources around the Soviet invasion of the British establishment...

I'm seeing that many good, small thrillers and books on pop culture in Kindle's lending library that I might have to take them up on on their upcoming subscription service - the one book a month isn't cutting it with the above  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Only one more to go - well, from the "proper" Dune books. I really liked Heretics, Chapter House rounded some things out nicely, but gets a little vulgar - I think you can see the changing attitudes of society as the books progress. I'm currently in the middle of the Commonwealth Saga (in German) from Peter F Hamilton. I've listened to the first two books, downloaded the third this week, although I'm in the middle of "The Fellowship of the Ring", again.

I really like his books and style of writing - If I was on Desert Island Disks I would have his complete works as my book
