Re: What books are you reading now?

I have just this evening finished reading a book called When god was a Rabbit by sarah winman. It is written like a memoir but its just the coming of age of a brother and a sister who are two halves of a whole.
amazing book

The Gerritsen was a bit formulaic, but a good time-passing read. Have just started Frederik Pohl's sci-fi The Other End of Time.

Re: What books are you reading now?

Oh happy sunday. Someone left a case filled with books in our park for everyone to pick their choise.
Found five books I have never read before; Howard Fast "Freedom Road", Robert Wilson "The Hidden Assassins", Vikram Seth "An Equal Music", Rudyard Kipling "Kim", and Nikolaj Frobenius "Jeg skal vise dere frykten".

What a lovely thing, Anna! Enjoy! The only one I;m familiar with is "Kim", a wonderful read, but then I've been a Kipling fan since I was old enough to read.

Seaspirit, please post if you can find the sequel to Kim, would love to read it. I love all of Jean Auel's, haven't read the latest one yet.

Re: What books are you reading now?

I've just finished one of Dick Francis's old books, "Driving Force". Dick must be in his nineties by now, but I see he is now co-writing with his son Felix; I have bought his latest effort "Dead Heat", which I will probably keep for the holiday weekend....
