My wife is reading Jeffrey Archer's 'Cain and Able' to us both as bedtime entertainment, which we are about to finish.

I am reading through the Enid Blyton's Famous Five Series (I'm up to No.9 'Five Fall Into Adventure') two chapters an evening then I tell a potted version to Sheila before we go off to sleep.

Before I come to bed Sheila is reading Valerie Wood novels.

I am also reading, intermittently, Iain M Banks' science fiction novels (just finished 'The Algabraist' and started 'Against a Dark Background') which my son got me into.

We have lined up to take over from Jeffrey Archer, some Jean Plaidy or Philippa Gregory historical novels.

We also have waiting in the wings five Terry Goodkind fantasy fiction books from the TV series 'Legend of the Seeker.' We've read 'Wizard's First Rule' so far.

Books, we love 'em!!!

There is nothing like having a selection of Good Books lined up to Read !!  Both Eve and I are avid Book Readers and sometimes, have more than one, on the go 
I would Increase the Font Size, but cannot find how to do it. (only on Emails). I still have a lot of War Books to Read and DVDs. of WW1 and WW2 sets. The time just seems to Fly by??  Although I cannot do any of the normal jobs, because of my feet etc: The day is spent 'mainly' sitting down Could be too much computer, sending out jokes and political emails etc: plus a little Tv??  to Relax too. Lol!!

ONE THING WE HAVE IN COMMON BEJAY IS, TREASURE ISLAND, I HAVE READ IT SO MANY TIMES.SQUIRE TRELAWNEY, JIM HAWKINS, ISRAEL HANDS, NOT FORGETTING THE BLACK SPOT.
I KIKE TRAVEL BOOKS AND HAVE READ MANY.BIOGRAPHYS AND AUTO BIOGS. MY FAVOURITE BEING 7 PILLARS OF WISDOM, T E LAWRENCE, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.MY PREFERENCE IS FOR A GOOD ADVENTURE/

One of the most brilliant exploits of ww2 in my opinion was the raid on the hard water plant in norway. This story is well told in Ray Mears book "Heroes of Telemark"A very good read for people  who is intereste in that kind of reading.
The story was told otiginally by one of the Norwegians who took part in the raid but i find Ray Mears book much better.

The film was very good, but like most films they tend to dramatise too much.

I just like romantic novels, never seem to have time much these days. too busy on the computer 

It's so very quiet on here, that I am having to read more books. Does not make for a better day -- Without, NDY.

Five on Kirrin island was my first F5 book, although I'd always been a fan of hers.
