Re: What book are you currently reading?
Books I've recently enjoyed:

The Talented Mr. Ripley - Patricia Highsmith

Pegasus Descending - James Lee Burke


Both very good. I've also read a couple of others whose titles currently escape me. I'll get back to this when they come back to me.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
I've just finished the Alexandria Link by Steve Berry, thought it was a really good read as are all of the Steve Berry books that I've read. They're sort of along the same lines as Dan Brown's books which I know aren't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoy them.

Next up I've got a few autobiographies that I was bought for Christmas; Ronnie Wood (which I'm looking forward to), Ian Botham, Lawrence Dallaglio and Richard Hammond. I wouldn't have bought myself a few of those but you can't knock Christmas books.

I hope I don't carry the same evil mojo that you do. I'm reading More Time for Politics, the latest volume of Tony Benn's diaries. It's mad the way he's simultaneously living the life of an internationally-respected elder stateman and that of a lonely octogenarian widower - stuff like "in the morning the Iranian ambassador called round. In the afternoon I tried to fix the broken bar on my electric fire." (Also, the diary entry for 26th May 2005 had nice things to say about the Reds.)

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Recently finished the John O'Farrell book, "This is your life", which I found to be a really decent read, if not in the same league as The best a man can get, one of his previous efforts. I've now moved onto another one of his which is "May contain nuts" which although it's a good read seems to have the odd ability to make me frown for hours on end whilst reading it, due to the complete cuntitude of the charachters.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Lee Child books are a good read, At the mo I'm a 1/4 the way through
David Hewson's The seventh Sacrament not bad a bit slow going Just like The Shadow Of the wind by Carlos Riuz Zafon which was good towards the end.

Finally got round to reading the third of Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs trilogy, Woken Furies. Just started it but really enjoying it so far.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Just finished The Big Blowdown by George P. Pelecanos, which was really good. A novel set in post war Washington DC in the Greek immigrant community. A crime thriller, but very character driven. Ace.

I've just started David Simon's Homicide: A Year On The Killing Streets which is the non-fiction story of his year with the Baltimore PD shadowing a Western District homicide detective squad. Out of it came his two TV shows, Homicide: Life On The Streets and The Wire. In fact it opens with Sergeant Jay Landsmann at a crime scene. Wire heads will know that that is the name of Bunk and McNulty's sergeant. However, the real bloke (and the one featured in this book) is also the actor who plays Bunny Colvin's number two. From the first couple of pages, it sounds like he might actually have been the inspiration for the character of McNulty, too.

That sounds really interesting. Im currently halfway through The Power of the Dog, a superb Don Winslow novel about the Mexican and Central American drug trade of the Reagan era. I like all of Winslows work, but this is so far unquestionably his masterpiece.
