We havn't had one of these threads for a while, so what is everyone currently reading or read?
I'm reading The Map by T.S Learner which was only published earlier this year. It's a mystery thriller with history in the style of Dan Brown (only not as good imo). Before that I read Hawk Quest which I reccomend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. Next up will be Scott of the Antarctic by David Crane. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Just finished reading Patrick Rothfuss 'The Wise Mans Fear' which was OK but not as good as the first book 'The Name of the Wind'.
Now reading 'Before They Are Hanged' by Joe Abercrombie, which is the 2nd book of 'The First Law' series. It's quite good really.
In non fiction I just finished 'The Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England'. Quite an easy to read and fun history book. They had some crazy ideas back then! |  | | |

The My Lai Massacre in American History and Memory by Kendrick Oliver and Al Jazeera: How the Free Arab News Network Scooped the World and Changed the Middle East. Definite yawn on the My Lai one I can assure you... |  | | |

Four Kings about the fights between Leonard, Duran, Hagler and Hearns. It was ok. Followed that with Johnny Nelson's Autobiography Hard Road to Glory (or something like that) which was possibly the worst book I've ever read. |  |

George MacDonald Fraser died a couple of years ago, so not a new one. The Mountain of Light was halfway through the series , all the Flashman's were awesome!
Got a Kindle for my birthday so have gone book mad at the moment, Waterstone's Newcastle branch cried when I told them! Reading 'The English Monster' and 'The Winter King' in tandem. One for bedtime and the other for the metro journey to work. |  | | |

Mountain of light is an oldie. Set in Afghanistan, beautiful nymphonmaniac and debauched queen, precious jewel, much whoring and booze, and Flashy caught right in the middle of horrendous danger. Usual blissful fayre. | |

Well, I used to think so too until I got one! I spend £100 a month on books and my wife was sick of them all around the house so was trying to get me to get a Kindle, but I always resisted on the grounds that it wasn't the same as cracking the spine etc. She ended up buying it for me as a risky pressie...
But I've got to say it's actually rather good, although I do miss the covers. Will be really useful on holiday as I can go through a book a day on a fortnight holiday and that's quite a chunk out of baggage allowance with real books. | | | |

I read the free books on my iPad but much prefer owning a hard copy of the book. If I like it in soft copy I'll go and buy the hard copy. | | | |

One of the good things about the Kindle is that you can get books that are out of print, and quite cheaply too. Hence, I'm reading Jan Morris' brilliant three-part history of the British Empire and a couple of books by Theodore Dalrymple, the pen-name of a doctor who works in inner-city Birmingham in a hospital and a prison. |  | | |

The first book was about the retreat from Kabul so was mainly set in Afghanistan, not one of the British Empire's greatest moments! | | | |

A Life Too Short:The Tragedy of Robert Enke.
A brilliant book, but it really is horribly moving in places. Depression is something we really don't talk about enough. |  | | |
