Also Alice's Diary and Alice's Adventures by Vernon Coleman The few books that have made me laugh out loud. Excellent writing.
I have read most of his. Don't know the other author.

Re: What book are you reading now?

Have just started reading the book of heroic failures - there are some doozies in there.

There's a section on driving tests that tickled me, like the fastest failed tests. Until recently, it was a woman who failed her test within one second by driving her car through the wall of the test centre. This was beaten into second place by a driver, who, anxious to get his test underway, tooted his horn for the examiner who came out and promptly failed him for sounding his horn while stationary.

The Binding by Bridget Collins, weird, mystical, scary & intriguing & I've only just started it. Not read any by her before & this is her first adult novel, she usually writes for young adults.

I've just read this Tiffany - I thought at first that I wouldn't like it because I'm not into fantasies but in the end I couldn't put it down! It's very cleverly plotted.

Confederates by Thomas Keneally.
One I read when first published... certainly worth reading again.

It is very cleverly written & a bit scary too. I had a problem putting it down, want to know what happens next. Not really my sort of book either, but I needed something different to read, it certainly is that.

Re: What book are you reading now?

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

It is a very different type of love story, well written, with emotions for family and others totally believable. You are drawn in immediately, and can read this in an afternoon. In fact, I will look for this author again.

Their Little Secret by Mark Billingham.
Very different from usual crime novels.
I couldn't go to the library or charity shops so bought a few cheap from Aldi.

Re: What book are you reading now?

The Wake by Paul Kingsnorth

...will stay with me forever, written in 'Anglish,' fake old English but was so wonderful...1066/Robin Hood kind of themes...

I bought 'Shogun' but it reads like crap by comparison, very dated, I'm sorry. I'm sure I will persevere.

Bought a re-release of Peter Kemp's account of fighting aside the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. I'll read that instead.
