What I'm reading ...

I have started What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe.

Another belated Bookclub selection. A complex story, with lots of characters and time streams, which keeps me on my toes.

The Mermaids Singing - by Val McDermid

Another rather belated Bookclub selection.

This is a thriller, which keeps you guessing. A serial killer is at work and everyone seems to be baffled. I did figure "who done it" well before the end, but the story is none the less gripping.

Never Have Your Dog Stuffed - by Alan Alda

I often think that well written autobiography is my favourite reading matter. Alan Alda has been in my life since I was in my early teens, so to hear his story just makes sense. It's not a trivial story, even though there are some funny moments - he had his breaks, but also his set-backs, the last of which gave him a new perspective on life. We can all do with that.
