Reading a book called The haunting of James Hastings at the moment and have to say it's a brilliant read and I highly recommend it it's by an Author called James Ransom.

I am also going to start reading a book which may be of interest to many on here from the Merseyside area called Heave a bit Driver, Seven Miles of laughter by an ex docker called Tony Sanders it is all about the Liverpool Docks in the 60's and 70's and the working conditions they worked in but how they managed to find the humour in what was horrendous conditions and long hours they worked and also all the nicknames and how they got it. I have interest of my own  as one of my Uncles worked there so looking forward to reading it.

I have read quite a few just lately. The Necroscope series by Brian Lumley is a good read, as well as the Dune series by Brian Herbertt. I am currently finishing off the Thomas Covenant series (White Gold Wielder) and between these I have read Mafia: Inside the Dark Heart by A.G.D. Maran, a brilliant insight into how the mafia started up and to the current day.

I have way too much time on my hands !

Recently just finished a great trilogy by Stephen Baxter: Coalescent, Exultant and Transcendant - Kinda semi trippy spanning half a million years and how the world comes to be in trouble and stuff



Has anyone read the Hunger Games trilogy? I'm being told they are awesome by everyone but I just dont know

'I Spied for Stalin' by Nora Murray (1950) 

2 pound find in a secondhand bookshop. Shocking first hand account of life in Russia from the 1919 revolution thru to her final escape in 1943. Shocking abuses of the state, mass murder and abuse of its citizens until they got to the point of wanting to die. These old books should never be forgotten, especially in our cosy nanny state lives today. You can find it on amazon and its worth forking out a few quid - history and political history buffs take note.

No but it's quite an interesting account of a bands rise to stardom written by one of the guys who was involved with The Farm.

Currently reading something completely different - Beatrice and Virgil by the author who wrote the Life of Pi.

Nazi Hunter - Simon Wiesenthal

Very compelling collection of accounts from those locked up in concentration camps.
