What book are you reading now / or recommend?

I downloaded an omnibus of Tim Weaver's books.
Have really enjoyed the first two and just started the third.

Main character is David Raker who tracks down missing people. The plots are tightly constructed and do not always go in a direction that you think they will.

Just finish reading 'I'm not really here' by Paul Lake.

Really enjoyed the book but cant believe how City treated his injury, unbelievable poor, so pleased for him now, he sounds a great lad.

Touching The Void is tremendous read.

I am not a climber but I found it incredibly suspensfull.

Just started "An Officer and a Spy" by Robert Harris.

Only a couple of chapters in but I am gripped already. It is a true story set in 1894 where a French army officer is sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island (think this is where Papillion was sent too) after being tried for treason. He was supposed to have given secrets away to the Germans. But I guess that from what I have deduced so far, it was a massive stitch up.

Just come back to this thread for some ideas on what to read next and saw this post. This was the famous Dreyfus Affair, which gripped and polarised France at the time.

One interesting aspect that not many are aware of is that there is a link to City in all this. As well as 1894 being the year MCFC was formed, Capt Dreyfus's cousin, Charles, founded Clayton Aniline. Their building stood on the land on which the CFA was built.

I'm currently reading 'A Spy Among Friends' which is about the circle of friends around Kim Philby, the senior MI6 officer who spied for Russia.
