Clare Baldings book "My Animals and Other Family" arrived today. I really like her. She likes dogs, horses and rugby league(my three favourite things) which I hope the latter gets mentioned in her book.

Currently reading "A Peoples Tragedy" by Orlando Figes about the Russian Revolution.

Its a bit hard going to be honest but I am struggling through.

Its also very, very grim.

Last book i read was "A Terrible Glory" about General Custer and the Little Big Horn. This was a fantastically easy to read even though the subject matter was (in parts) pretty upsetting.

If i ever manage to get through A People Tragedy, i will be having a bit of rest bite by reading the "Game of Thrones" novels. I am not particularly interested in Fantasy, but having just finished the TV series (and LOVING IT with every fibre of my being) I think I will read the books.

PS

Thanks to Bren2k for informing me (on another thread) that series was actually based on the Novels.

Just finished reading the Commissaire Adamsberg series of novels by Fred Vargas.
I can normally take or leave crime fiction, but I've lapped these up one after another due to the combination of a decent plot that moves along fairly quickly, a historical slightly gothic undercurrent, off-beat but likeable characters and great humour.

Currently reading E mails from an asshole, very funny, bit of a no brainer book, but enjoyable
