what book are you reading ?

The Silmarillion by Tolkien is my primary at the moment.....

but when my brain gets fried with all the names you need to keep track of I go for......

ANTIFA - The AntiFacist Handbook by Mark Bray

The Silmarrillion is the greatest work of the imagination by anyone ever, in my opinion.
 
We Own This City by Justin Fenton. It's a "true story of crime, cops and corruption in an American city". It's about a recent case of a dodgy squad of cops in Baltimore, a city I used to live in and love, has a blurb on the back from David Simon who wrote The Wire. That's enough to sell it to me. I've only just started, I'll get back to you later!

I've got a pile of about 10 books to get through after this.

Recently finished:

The Grand Design - Stephen Hawing - 4/5, well written not to hard to understand
This isn't Happening: Radiohead's Kid A and the Beginning of the 21st Century, really enjoyed this in a nostalgic way
The Thursday Murder Club - Richard Osman - damned good fun
Gotta Get Theroux This - Louis Theroux - ad as a box of frogs
Undespited Truth - Mike Tyson - forget Theroux THIS is as mad as a box of frogs
 
I read The Rome Escape line about British and American POWs who had escaped from Italian camps and made their way to Rome and the Vatican. A true story, an Irish Monsignor, Hugh O'Flaherty, running the escape routes out of Rome. A film, starring Gregory Peck as Hugh O'Flaherty, called the Scarlet and the Black was recently on Sony classics.

Finished The Coffinmaker’s Garden. A poorly written good story.

I raced through the new Matt Haig, The Midnight Library. It is wonderful novel, about the desperation of life and whether suicide can solve the current life you are living.

I’m now on with Harry Pearson’s The Farthest Corner. Of course, it is brilliant....
