What are you reading ?

[Gregers]

Current read is American sniper by the late Chris Kyle and insets by his wife Taya Kyle.
I am human enough to admit parts of the book caused damp eyes, through both sadness and laughter..

All the best

THE LIFE AND SHIP MODELS OF NORMAN OUGH

[wokka]

On the Beach by Nevil Shute might be worth a read.

[PaulBradley]

CFS: Birth of Air Power by John WR Taylor - a good read so far.

Good God yes!

Snuff is a really good book, the Nightwatch being, imho, Terry's best creations. 'Guards Guards' still make's me laugh out load.

I'm currently reading the X-Wing series, having just finished the 'Truce at Bakura'. the plan is to re-read all of the Star Wars 'Legends' book as to my mind they're still canon, I really don't like the mindless re-hash of the Disney films and much prefer the direction these book took the story.

Yep! Started with Hogfather and have now read pretty much everything (although not the illustrated stuff). Like Stuart, for me the Nightwatch are the best part of Discworld and Sam Vimes can do no wrong!
I also very much enjoyed the film of Going Postal

Finished CFS, now on to English Electric Canberra by Delve, Green and Clemons.

Depressing but appropriate thought there, Wokka.

Hogfather was a great book - I love Death's character.

I got into PTerry during the mid/late 90's when a friend loaned me Guards Guards and haven't looked back since much to Mrs Dazzled's annoyance when we've been on holiday and I've been guffawing loudly on the adjacent sunbed

[skypirate]

"The Fatal Shore" by Robert Hughes - every Aussie home should have one. (preferably, read)
"Phase Space" by Stephen Baxter - short stories for a change.
(Just finished - " The Three-Body Problem" by Cixin Liu, translated from original Chinese language. Outstanding hard sci- fi; Hugo award winner).
(Just given up on - " The Jeeves Omnibus". Too dated for me. My dad grew up on this stuff).

[PaulBradley]

I read that Hughes book back in '88 before my trip to Oz - very enlightening and fascinating! ! kept my copy for years, but somewhere along the way I've lost it. I'm pretty sure our second hand bookstore has a copy so I'll go pick it up. Thanks for the reminder!
