I would love to say I am reading some great literary work to look smooth and sophisticated.
Alas at the moment I am an old dog learning a new trick so it is: A crash course in python.
Geeky or what! |

Nothing wrong with that. I'm reading Jeremy Clarkson I've probably caused many people to put us on their blocked list  . |

"Non-fiction - Quanta and Fields by Sean Carroll
Fiction - Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin
Enjoy Sean Carroll’s podcast! Need to try his books "
I am yet to hear his podcasts. I love his books. I have read some of his blog posts though. He is one of the very few modern-day physicists who also talk about the philosophical side of science. "Quanta and fields" is the second book of a trilogy where he tries to touch the mathematical side of things for popular physics readers. Very difficult read but very rewarding |

I just finished the last of the Strike novels (late to the party) so now I need to wait for her to publish the next.
I need something decent to read now - Deborah Harkness has just published a new one in the Discovery of Witches series so maybe that and if not, the new M J Arlidge. |

Nearer than you think |
"The Ever After Diary" (Gisele Stein)...
Books about epic journeys (this one is hiking the length of UK) appeal, and also make me feel guilty about my inactivity/lack of adventure. Next year, perhaps? |

Oh thanks for the All Souls series reminder!

I just started the dice man.
I actually read it about 20 years ago but don't remember much.
I suspect that being the age and experience group of the author will be a very different experience to reading it as a teen |

I've got "and the ass saw the angel" by Nick Cave and a biography of Henry Rollins to read. Found some street treasure books yesterday. Ones is about tarot cards, another is a book of William Blake poetry and a random novel. |

I first read "and the ass saw the angel" 35 years ago. I had a note pad by my side to write down all tbe words that I didn't know so I could look them up. Curious to know if i have to do the same again. |

Interesting take on subtle differences in swinging and poly / fwb . "
Seems to be quite a few people that confuse being a swinger with being polyamorous. |

Listening to “Endgame” by Jonathan Dimbleby about the war in Europe in 1944. Over 20 hours by audio book. Glad I didn’t start reading it book form as it would have taken me months to finish, despite it being a fantastic listen. |

That is true but i dont think the lines between the 2 are definitives that cannot be crossed ..there are some areas open to interpretation. One certainly led to the other in my case ..priorities change and my tastes have developed.
In a couple dynamic though it does help to be singing from the same hymn sheet . |

I have gone down a Godfather rabbit hole, one of my fav books is The Godfather by Mario Puzo, I recently found out he had written a book called The Sicilian about Michael Corleone's time in Sicily. Then I found another book written after Mario Puzo's death called The Family Corleone a prequel to The Godfather by Ed Falco, didn't think I would like it because it is a different author but I am half way through and loving it.

Was just thinking that. Read Dr Sleep recently and forgotten how much I enjoy his books |

I’ve just finished Test Kitchen by Neil D. A. Stewart
It describes one night in a two-Michelin star restaurant hidden in a rough East London neighbourhood. A chapter per table of diners, giving backstory. And as you go along, you learn more and more about the restaurant staff. The predictably stressful kitchen, the serving staff with double lives, the impossibly good-looking maître d’ and the one-eyed Glaswegian head chef, who remains eerily calm throughout.
But one of the kitchen team is missing. And that sets the whole night off balance. But slowly it becomes clear that something else is off. Something’s very wrong. Something awful has happened. And for the whole first half of the book, you don’t know what that is. There are hints. Gaps in the story. Weirdness at the edges. And then the Bad Thing is revealed and … well, I’m not going to spoil it. But  |

"Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman.
Well rereading it. It's fantastic, not my favourite Gaiman book but I'm really enjoying it."
I'd never read any Gaiman so decided to but Good Omens last year as I do quite like Pratchett and it had good reviews (never watched the TV adaptation).
Thought it was utter garbage. Was disappointed. |

"I'm currently reading the rise and fall of the third reich. It's kinda worrying how easy it all happened, how it flowed from seemingly innocuous beginnings."
A bit of a door stop book, but given that William Shirer was actually there and only just avoided being arrested and murdered by the Gestapo worth the effort. |

"David Baldacci - the Amos Decker series.
Listening to Everyone Here Is Lying, but it's really just for the gym."
Edited to add.. have just quit listening to Everyone Here Is Lying as the narrator was just awful. |
