I grabbed a book last week "A Foreign Affair - A Passionate Life in Four Languages" - Valerie Barnes.  Caught my eye and it's a page turner ....... I was awake for a couple of hours so picked it up.  No wonder I'm weary now  ::).

I will send it to my friend who was in College with me, we did a shorthand course together but I had no idea that one could do shorthand in other languages.

Any one found 'Limestone Books' in Settle yet?  My neighbour's daughter has taken the plunge to try something she has wanted to do 4 many years - hopefully DH and I will be able to get up there soon!

He is reading 'this is going to hurt' by Adam kay - a real funny page turner.  When a book is previewed as gut rolling funny I often don't agree but we have LOL at this one.  Adam has written a 2nd, due to be released I think in November.  It's on my List 2 Buy ;-)

It's a page turner and not to be read in public unless you want to get funny looks  ;D.  Eye opening and reiterates that our NHS is on it's knees and wants more money spent!!

I'm reading 'A History of Viking Britain', by Thomas Williams and The Glass Palace, by Amitav Ghosh.

I usually read two books together.  One non fiction and one fiction.

Is the History of Viking Britain good? Sounds like one to put on my library list.

I'm reading 'Oscar, A Life' by Matthew Sturgis. It should keep me going for a while.

It's fascinating as the author specialises in this period but it's also a very easy non text booky read.

I would highly recommend it.  :)
