Just finished reading Ben Aaronovirch's whispers under ground

It makes a change to read a book that has a definitive ending and doesn't feel like the author is rushing to finish it.

Lionel Asbo - Martin Amis

is it any good?

[stek]

A biography about Nick Drake, bit overlong, lots of padding, let's face it there's not a lot to write about. Interesting though and tragic especially about his last few months...

is it any good?

Not bad. 1/3 of way through.

The Forgotten Highlander by Alistair Urquhart

The Forgotten Highlander: My Incredible Story of Survival During the War in the Far East: Amazon.co.uk: Alistair Urquhart, David David Rintoul: Books

The author doesn't like the Japanese much.

Reminds me of a chap I worked with who'd also been a POW.

They had to hide him away when Japanese visitors were shown around.

Read that a while ago. Good book.

Nice chaps the Japs.
.

To be fair not much different to what we did to the natives.
