Book 25 of 2024 was the second book in Mick Herron’s Jackson Lamb series “Dead Lions”. Loved what he did with a few of the other characters and if I wrote anymore I’d probably give away the plot. #bookstodon @bookstodon #reading https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/122986197

@franksting @bookstodon I’ve read all his Slow Horses books in the series. Such a good writer! And Gary Oldman is the perfect Jackson Lamb

Just finished The Road to Little Dribbling by Bill Bryson and am tempted to start a new category for my records: Nonfiction.Memoir.Bitching. If you'd love 400 pages of an old man yelling at clouds, to say nothing of being casually racist, homophobic and transphobic, this is the book for you. Not sure I'll eve be able to enjoy his work again. 😞

This month on #BowieBookClub we read ‘Darkness at Noon’ by Arthur Koestler, a tale of human pyschology under duress that makes a fitting conclusion to the Russian books that Bowie included on his reading list.

We also reveal the order of the last four books (!!!) and talk ask you what else we should add to the list of books that SHOUD HAVE been on Bowie’s list.

I miss the days when I could just pick up a printed #book and start #reading. At present I have usually to scratch around for my #reading #spectacles; then I have to locate my #reading light. Once all of these 'measures' have been taken, I can start to #read the #book. Usually by this time my initial enthusiasm for #reading has greatly dissipated.
