Whilst in Rhodes, I am reading : Triangle at Rhodes by Agatha Christie π
This is fiction and still amazes me, what powerful men will try and do to support their own business and financial gain. This snippet is just a glimpse of what still goes on in the world. For full context. A father wants his daughter to latch on to a specific man. π€·π½ββοΈ
The books I am using as part of my laptop stand. I feel like this was a big thing in lockdown. I will continue it π
Finished reading: Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee, πI first read the book in my twenties and the topics hit home. Now in my fourtiesβ, I understand in more depth why this book caused controversy in its approach and stereotyping people. Read it with a mature view and open mind on the world.
Currently reading: Pachinko(https://micro.blog/books/9781786691347) by Min Jin Lee π I came across the TV show on Apple TV and decided to try the book first. 50% through and it is ππ½
This explains a lot about the world..from the good to the bad
Finished : Youβre Not Listening by Kate Murphy π via Blinkist π§ A very good reference book for those who want to improve themselves
Could not finish reading: Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami π Onto another one.
It is never always that simple though. I wonder how many have changed during the pandemic.
Currently reading: Slow Horses by Mick Herron π and Currently reading: I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai π, which is surprising me a lot.
Finished reading: The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley π
Finished reading: The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino π It is definitely worth reading if you like a little bit of crime fiction
Hello all. I have been very busy over the last two weeks. However, I had to put time aside to ensure you got sight of this story. An Afghan In πΊπ¦ Ukraine , which I listened to via @Curioio.
I also-wanted to say well done or #The Republic of Readers. I could not attend and listened back instead. Excellent conversation. I am still on the fence about Devon Think. Appreciate all the info Listen Again
Watched the very first Harry Potter Movie π¬ with my son. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would and it seems as good as the book. Did not realise there were so many of them. π
I love crime fiction with thriller in there too. Lee Child and Stephen King, are not as good as they used to be. The co-writing has changed their approach and method in story telling. Only slightly, but noticeable. Turning to John Grisham, I was not let down. Interesting and griping story with the minder day call-outs and twists. π
Win by Harlan Coben. π I could not finish the book. It is not like the normally usual writing style of Coben. It seems more tongue and cheek than suspense. Maybe I just expected more and will try again in the future. www.goodreads.com
Morning all. The Master and Margarita seems to be a good π www.goodreads.com
Just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime It is my second read of the book after 15 years. Still brilliant π@mark_haddon
I currently have two books on the go. 1). The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, reading for my second time, after fifteen years. 2). How To Build A Car by Adrian Newey. Excellent book it you are into Motorsport. Looking for my next adventure. A form of crime thriller author similar to author Jo Nesbo. Any recommendations?
Rosie Result is a pretty good book. Only half way through and loving it π
The Windup Bird Chronicle
I came across Haruki Maurakami only about 5 years ago. What a brilliant author he is. The Windup Bird Chronicle is another one in the collection I am enjoying. His books are so descriptive and random, they make you really imerse yourself into one of the characters. π π§
Am I Overthinking This I saw this book when we visited Colombia College last year & did not get around to buying it. Brilliant little book arrived today π π
Day 3 of MBβs Book Recommendation week, is A Gentleman In Moscow. This is a brilliant read and one of those books you should try and read in your life time.π
