What books are you reading ?

Love a bit of Pratchett. Just ploughing through The Broken Window by Jefferey Deaver, not his best, before I treat myself to Mort and Moving Pictures

You really are a Pratchett fan - just read you Username, Mr Moist!

Albert Spangler at the ready M'lord

I am more Gaspode.

How was the holiday?

Good, but wet thanks. Just got off the boat tonight, off to Portsmouth at the weekend so will get a little write up and some of the pictures up

Looking forward to good read.

I nearly always have several books on the go, mainly non-fiction and concerned with aircraft, cars, transport/machinery and history

You'll probably enjoy The Right Stuff, if you haven't already read it or seen the film.

Just finished that - now reading The State of the Art by Iain M Banks.

Oh yes....right up my street. I've got the movie on DVD but not read the book. I'll have a look on Ebay and put that in my basket. Thanks.

The Horus Heresy - currently on book 3 of 42. Its not exactly high literature but nonetheless very entertaining. I mainly stick to audiobooks as I rarely have time to sit down and enjoy a book. If do find myself free for five minutes you will currently find me reading 'The Forever War' which is a great sci-fi classic.

Damon Hills autobiography - only about a third of the way through but a very interesting read
The one before that was Johnny Herberts book, that was an amazing insight in to what he went through to get in to FI and especially after his horrific accident
I think those guys are 'wired' different to the rest of us.

Your story took me back too. I think I'll search out that book! I recall going to the show for the first time with my dad in the mid 60's. This was the time when you could sit in pretty much anything on display and even though just a lad, no staff on any stand made me feel it wasn't appropriate to jump into their vehicles and imagine myself one day owning and driving one. We went pretty much every year after that and lamented it's move to the NEC, a place that in my opinion never served up the same special atmosphere that shows at Earls Court created

I have to agree with you - the NEC never felt the same. I only went there once!

I always came home from Earls Court with a bag of brochures - I wish I had kept them.
