Have been sorting out lots of books to go to charity shops or sell, and rediscovered a box of books not yet read * - just like Christmas, but no need to write thank you notes! So am reading Anita Shreeve's 'Body surfing' and have a whole pile of books to keep me busy for a while - bliss.

 

* had to move loads of things whilst I decorated the dining room, where the majority of my bookcases are, and it has been a long job putting eveything back.

I am reading " You Cant take It With You" by Jane & Mike Tomlinson. She is dying with cancer and has done lots of charity work (running etc) . I had previously read her first story of her discovering that she had breast cancer called " The Luxury Of Time" which was excellent.

My sister-in-law, in Sheffield, recommended this book but I haven't managed to find a copy locally (most tractors here are John Deere or Ford anyway). i will have to try Amazon.

Currently almost finished Stephen King's Cell, and also about halfway through a Kathy Reichs book that I've forgotten the title of.

 

In fact, I'm off to finish Cell before Lost comes on.

 

Hi,

 

I have just finished Kathy Reich's latest book. Her books are well written -in addition to writing who-dun-it's she is a consultant pathologist and forensic science specialist in both in the US and Canada. Therefore, her books are very technical and you need a strong constitution to read them.

Nobody has mentioned "Birdsong", by Sabastian Faulks. This is a very good read, set in France before and during WWI.

 

This book may appeal to Mick Coyle (and others) for it has a very detailed description of the Hero - and the hostess at the place where he is was guest - having "Close Encounters of the First Kind".

 

It makes my efforts in the same vain, for the May theme (remember "Still Trapped in Hillsborough") look very tame in comparison.

 

There is also a very graphic description of life in the trenches during the war, particularly the tunneling.

 

Regards
