What are you reading now?
In the process of reading and very much enjoying Lin Anderson's first book "Driftnet"
A teenage boy is found mutilated and murdered in a Glasgow flat. Forensic scientist Rhona Macleod is called to the scene, but her grim task is made even more unsettling than usual by the boy’s remarkable resemblance to her – and the fact that she gave up a baby boy for adoption seventeen years before.
Racked with guilt, she sets out to find the boy’s killer and determine whether he is her long-lost son – but in doing so, she immerses herself in the sinister world of an internet paedophile ring. Some very powerful men have a lot to lose if she succeeds, and everything to gain if she dies.

Re: What are you reading now?
Sounds like a great read Hughie - put in the "wish list" for later. I am re-reading the Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency - McColl Smith. I loved the books the first time round and really enjoyed the first series on TV. Really a lovely gentle read on a wet afternoon!.

"The Adventures of Goodnight and Loving" - Leslie Thomas
A wonderful escapist story about a man in a mid-life crisis who wanders off from his 'hum drum' life and is beset by amazing and wonderful adventures (in a serindipitous way) after his car breaks down on a motorway. Through Paris, Rome, India, Hong Kong, Australia, South Sea Islands and America. Wish it was me

It IS you, Mac, that's the joy of reading!
I'm reading 1916 by Morgan Llywelyn about the Irish rebellion.

You're quite right Morag. Expect he'll end up back home - though maybe a wiser and more fulfilled man.morag wrote:It IS you, Mac, that's the joy of reading!
I do love reading and, yes, whilst I do I'm in another world

I'm just about to start 'LONG WALK TO FREEDOM', Nelson Mandela's autobiography, for a second time.
I found it quite a 'heavy' read about 18 months ago but it's tremendous story told by an exceptional person.

Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.

Having read most of Ian Rankin and Aelx Gray, I am now reading P D James' The Murder Room, having just finished reading The Light House. A very thrilling writer and pays attention to detail.

I've enjoyed several P.D. James mysteries shown here on Public Television, PBS, which is the channel we get most British imports on.
