I am reading some Bill Bryson books on UK and European travel. Mainly cos I am reluctant to book a holiday in the current climate. After working the first 40 of my working life in the car industry, I am also an avid reader of car history. Real cars not vehicles propelled by sewing machine motors for an engine. I drive a petrol car and is happy with it.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I finished The Survivors by Jane Harper which I enjoyed very much and have returned to a book I actually started but for various reasons forgot about and have decided to restart from the beginning.

It is Into the Water by Paula Hawkins. She wrote Girl on the Train
which I enjoyed very much. I read a few chapters some time back and because of other things I was doing forgot about it. Now it is time to start from the beginning again, I recall it was quite an interesting beginning.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I'm on with "The secret of High Eldersham" by Miles Burton from the British Library crime classics series. It was originally published in 1930 and is proving to be a good story. Think along the lines of Inspector Alleyn mysteries, with a bit of occult thrown in to give it a twist or two.

Re: What book are you reading now?

My Christmas present to myself were two books

The Girl in the Spider's Web
The Girl who Takes an Eye for an Eye


I already have The Girl Who Lived Twice but I stopped reading that when I realised there were earlier volumes.

They are part of the Millennium series originally by the deceased Steig Larsson which I read years ago but these were written by David Lagercrantz.

I hope they are as good as the original series.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I'm currently reading 'The Understudy' by David Nicholls and enjoying it very much.

The Daily Mail describes it as 'Laugh out loud'

The Observer says it's 'Bitterly funny - delightful.

Re: What book are you reading now?

I'm reading a rather old Tom Clancy novel featuring Jack Ryan jnr. I needed something lightweight for a change.
