In my obsession with my writing news last night I forget to
update with news of my current reading.
An intense competition for attention and my reading time between
the following, and me having a strong enough will to leave reading 30 pages a
day of Never go back, until I am
on holiday.
-
Never go
back - the latest Jack Reacher book,
-
Not an
easy day more factual special services reading - the life story of a member
of the US Seals who went for Osama bin Laden and
-
The
Nautical Chart - by Arturo Perez Reverte as recommended by a local writer’s
group member, started this lunchtime.
All have got off to a flying start for interest and
attention. The first two books one fiction and the other sanitised fact about
two very hard men. I cannot say I have ever had any ambition to emulate them!
Trailing along are also:-
-
Zoo time by Howard Jacobson – I have purchased a
copy to replace a started library copy as I think it is good daily medicine for
a writer taken by reading two or three of the densely written pages a day.
-
The Casual Vacancy – I promised to read more
pages than Fifty Shades but having read 50 pages I am not attracted when I have
other more exiting books, as above, to read
-
Sweet – Ian McEwan. I usually start and stick
into his books but this one I keep putting off starting again so when I do I
will probably have to start again
-
Atlantis – Tony Riches. The true story on the
oldest Space Shuttle. I finished reading his fiction book - Shell - about a
kidnap in Kenya.
Enjoyed reading this frightening book written in a smouldering style.
-
A batch of Kindle downloads. Just added an Elizabeth Jane Howard book after reading about the saga in morning paper.
Hope all your reading and writing is going as well
Played the Cleo Laine again this morning great!
