I have a few native American books. It's my obsession at the moment. I read Stolen Life. Highly recommend Neither Wolf nor Dog. Very thought provoking stuff

[Tenacious Sloth]

Sword of Honour - Evelyn Waugh

Its the first Waugh novel I’ve read and I must admit I’m really enjoying it.

Based loosely on the author’s WWII exploits, it is both very funny in places while also being a damning indictment of wars and the kind of people who prosper in them.

Sex Life of the Siamese Twins - Irvine Welsh Not your usual Welsh fare, the main protagonist is a Miami South Beach Fitness nut who goes a bit radge

Sounds quite like Irvine Welsh to me.

The Bombmaker, by Stephen Leather. A violent thriller about a, er, bomb maker.

My father really liked that book, but I found it rather dry and did not get very far. I enjoyed Scoop, but Black Mischief was a little too racist for me, while the humour in Handful of Dust was rather too black.

Is it as good as Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time?

Is it as good as Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time?

Not nearly. That was a brilliant book.

I am just starting to read the Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins. A friend says it is a better read than the Selfish Gene.

We shall see.

Just finished The Life of Pi for the second time. Enjoyed it just as much as the first time (was that really 15 years ago? Owoooo!) - ie, loads. A really terrific book, well worthy Booker winner.

Tess Gerittsen The Silent Girl.
Usual Tess quality read

Glad you like it.It's one volume of a famous trilogy. Try "Decline and Fall" next, it's the novel that made his name in English literature standings.
