What book are you reading now / or recommend?

I know what you mean and sometimes this over egging can lead to skipping through pages but I did stick with it and it was worthwhile

Currently reading the first in another supposed trilogy called Soloman Creed which has tag line "perfect for fans of Lee Child and Stephen King" never before have I seen those two authors lumped together lol. Only a few chapters in so early days yet.

Just had a quick look and I will give this one a go. It's only £1.99 for the kindle edition.

Thinking, Fast and Slow.
I'm about half way through, but so far it's just confirmed what I had already believed anyway. Interesting read all the same, but if you actually take in what's written, we really are nothing more than meat puppets dancing to the tune our environment plays for us.

There was an interesting problem posed early on:

A bat and ball cost £1.10. The bat costs £1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Most people answer incorrectly. He is showing how our intuition can so easily be wrong.

5p?

We are not ourselves. The husband has developed Alzheimer's at 53! 'Tis a very sobering read!

The Luminaries
Only just started it. Very wordy and packed full of intricacies, which is great. However, it had better be worth it because you can't beat a good story.

Just read the synopsis, doesn't appeal sorry. May be a bit too dark for me.

No worries good book.

Reading absolutely foxed by Graham fowler. Brilliant read. Recommended to any lancs or England fans of the 80's or anyone with depression. Superb

Seems like I'm on a 5th in series kick at the moment. Finished The Fire Engine that Disappeared (Swedish police procedural), The New Watch (Russian urban fantasy) and have now started on From Aberystwyth with Love (noir pastiche).
