No way am I trying to read that. It was produced in the 15th century. I'll ask Brucie if he has any info.@xmiles wrote:When you've finished reading it do let us know what you think.

Never heard of it before but looks amazing.
It's probably just the scribblings of a mad bastard and as you're here you won't have to go far to find more of that.

I'm reading The Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman (the American God's novelist). Turns out it's a reimagining of The Jungle book but about a real kid who lives with the dead in a graveyard. Tough start but turning out to be a cracking read.

'Timbuktu' by Paul Auster is a great read. Nice little book to take away on holiday.

Never read any Famous Five but I reckon there's lots that went on in kids books back when we were young. That shoemaker's wife kept awfully quiet about those elves that visited every night!

Nevil Shute and Howard Spring books are real and fantasy in equal measure. As are HE Bates short stories.

I'm still on holiday which is when I find time to read and chill out so I'm on my 9th book in the last 3 weeks and should finish that today as it's raining here in serifos. Started off light with a few jo nesbos/harry hole followed by Simon toynes sanctuary/fall/tower series and now I'm working through a few mysteries

If you enjoy mysteries, wanders, can I recommend the author Robert Goddard? If you haven't read any, I can specifically recommend Past Caring, and Into the Blue.

Good man. Auster is a great writer. More popular in Europe than his native USA though.
