The Trigger Man - On the run Provo comes back home and why is explained bit by bit while a cop does his best to catch him. Good so far, and short too. There's far too many books that drag on these days, so something old skool suits me fine.

I'm really enjoying the Transformer comics from the Humble Bundle. I am a bit of a Transformer fan but I've never been a big reader of comics so it has been a bit of a revelation.
Scotland's Jesus on the other hand is probably not worth reading. I'm half way through and there have been three funny jokes. And I say that as someone who (used to) find Frankie Boyle funny.

I have just started reading “ Nowhere in Africa” by Stefanie Zweig as my dad sent it to me as he went to school with her and lived in the “same” area so its interesting to read re what it was like in Africa when he was a young lad

The Leftovers will be started next I think, it's becoming a TV series IIRC.

That's why it was lodged somewhere in my head - she recently did an interview with the Guardian and was talking about it, but I sent it to my Kindle and haven't got reading it yet. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The Leftovers - I'm a fifth of the way through and so far nothing has been explained about the 'event' really, it's just entire chapters that give boring accounts of individual characters. If it doesn't get any better by the end of the first quarter I'm done - absolutely nothing about this book is appealing to me.

On my Dad's recommendation I'm thinking of reading James Clavell's 'Shogun.' But it is a huge HUGE doorstop of a book.  I'm looking forward to the new Reacher book which is out this Thursday even though the last two I read were pretty bad.

Looking forward to it too. Never go back wasn't particularly appealing and felt lazy. A wanted man was much more iteresting.

Absolute arse. Though that's the reason I wanna see how they've turned it into a TV show, strangely. A quarter of the way in, these people's lives only cross in the smallest of ways yet you know sh1tloads of pointless detail about them. And you're still none the wiser about 'the event'. It's like Twin Peaks without any of the mysterious bits ffs. Time to start something else. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
