"Fear" by Jeff Abbot. As with his "Panic" he delivers another easy to read thriller. Pretty fast paced , good action and a nice twist in the end.

"Chromosone 6" by Robin Cook - old and dated, but a good medical thriller.

"Davita's Harp" by Chaim Potak - not what I thought it would be. Rather tedious.

Picked up "Animal Farm" from the foreign language bookstore recently, surprised it was allowed in the country. Now I'm reading "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James.

"Staying Alive" by Matt Beaumont about a 30ish english guy working in advertisement who is about to find out that he does not have much longer to live. he starts partying, doing drugs and borrows money from the mob. absolute hilarious read !

"Angels Of Death" by Julian Sher and William Marsden, an inside view of the Hells Angels Crime Imperium.

Tom Holt - Barking

Funny grown up fantasy story , involving lawyers in England. Great read with a few twists which keep you constantly guessing what might happen next. Did not want to put it down and finished it in two days, drags on a bit for the last 20 pages though maybe....

The Old man and Mr Smith from Peter Ustinov. A brillant and extremely funny book.

Good and Satan on a fact finding mission on earth. They put aside their difference and visit the planet together to find out that they have quite fallen out of touch with the development of a planet who would rather believe that they are Criminals, Russian Spys or Aliens than what they really are...

Highly recommended... You'll find the book below (Second hand) by the way

Yes, that is a change from some 5 years ago.

Back in the day you had this huge selection of Penguin books but could find no Orwell, Henry Miller or Oscar Wilde.

Interesting to learn it changed....
