Just starting out on "The Fabric of the Cosmos" which has been on my shelf for years.

That is great news. And does it have enough pictures for you?

did not know this thread exists. I just finished reading Shutter Island a great read.

Actually one of my gripes having looked through it, is that the sort of small greyscale diagrams in it are terrible.
A good picture does paint a thousand words for this subject

Just finished The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, and now starting The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Both HP Lovecraft.

Concurrently with Nemesis by Isaac Asimov.

Saw the film, haven't read the book.

Ticket to Ride by Tom Chesshyre at the moment. Easy bedtime stuff. Also reading Even Silence has an End by Ingrid Betancourt.

Now, that's Quality

Timmy doesn't know which side he is on

Curious that he seems to revel in the number of scrotes he'd killed.

You don't find that so much in other books.

I think he is a 'My Country right or wrong type' it does seem to be a failing with ex snipers. I suppose if you kill people for patriotism it is difficult to rationalise.

on the Harry Sidebottom Warrior of Rome series quite interesting. The guy seems to know his stuff one would rather hope so teaching history at Oxford.

I am currently reading a book by one of my favourite travel writers, Tim Moore

It's called The Cyclist Who Went Out in the Cold & in it he traces the route of the old Iron Curtain from the Arctic Circle to the Black Sea.

Fittingly, he has chosen for his steed a vintage MIFA 900; a fold up bike from the heyday of the GDR.

It really is a very funny book and as a Moulton rider I feel every mile that he recounts.

Recommended.
