Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth.



I later found out it was on 'Richard & Judy's' reading list. Yet despite this, I can wholly recommend this. The author blathers on at points, but his meetings with the astronauts is facinating. Excellent read and well written. Easy to read.

WORST. BOOK. EVER.

But but, Loaded says "novelist of the century"?!

Though I notice it doesn't say who.

I enjoyed it when I was twenty six. Do I now?

The Unthinkable: Who survives when disaster strikes - Amanda Ripley.

An interesting and thought provoking book on who survives disasters and why. How humans react and behave in extreme circumstances and an ideal guide for those in disaster management to learn from the lessons of several disasters.

I am about halfway though Stuart McBride's Detective Logan McRae series that's set in Aberdeen.
Only started reading them because I have read all the Inspector Rebus books.
McBride is a cracking writer and his detail of the violence is great.

In one of the books Logan tells a another Policeman a story about a copper who had to go to a Drug Lord's house and tell him his son had died in custody and while he's telling the family one of his son's who has Hepatitis C sneaks out and sticks broken razors with his blood on them and sticks it underneath the driver's side handle with chewing gum.

The copper lost 2 finger tips and contacted Hepatitis C.



His debut book of the series won a shitload of awards.

blitzed: drugs in nazi germany

Pretty interesting, but reads like an extended university essay. Quite dry.

John Hannah did the first series, then Ken Stott, thanks Mr Wiki. TV series ok, read a few Rebus, all charity shop buys, decent detective fiction, but nothing special.

I like the look of Roddy's, kooster's and your, Carc's, suggestions. Had a summer of charity shop thrillers for easy reading, but bought this in the wonderful Poundland last week:



Saw it was his second book so though got first err first:



Only a few chapters in and building quietly but quite like. Don't mind spy stuff, always fascinating, inevitable reviewer comparisons to le Carré, who has a good place in my heart after a great handjob in the cinema watching 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'.
