Police, Crime & 999 by John Donoghue. Really funny stories of John's time in the police force.

Quick search through the thread suggests that no one has mentioned the Falco series by Lindsey Davis. There's no shortage of novels set in ancient Rome, and they tend to be pretty meh most of the time. These ones are beautifully done, and bring the city to life in a way few others have ever managed.

Behind her Eyes

Probably more for the ladies on here, but the ending is a WTF????? moment ;-)

What the dog saw by Malcolm Gladwell.

The spy who came in from the cold. Fucking brilliant imho. So many twists and turns

You might want to take in Le Carre’s latest which deal with some of the fall out from the the story, very good

Just finished Ready Player One. Not exactly Shakespeare, but I found the 80’s nostalgia irresistible, especially the classic video games that figured heavily in the plot.

Next up is Rothfuss’ Kingkiller chronicles.

Bit of advice - might be better off waiting for the lazy **** to finish the last book first. Been a bit frustrating waiting seven years and counting. Great series so far though.

Yeah I know all about that. This looks up my alley though so I figure I’ll go ahead and read the first two and join the angry mob of waiting fans.

Bought that a year ago and not got round to it yet -it's an epic read!
Part way through Brix E Smith's book The Rise, The Fall and The Rise, which given this weeks news is quite apt.
