I find Plato very readable...

I keep thinking of how spot on "1984" was and is. Orwell nailed it on the head.

I saw a comment today that said “Mexico & Canada are bordering on insanity”.

after having finished the 'outlander' books i've started on an offshoot of the series about one of the characters - lord john grey. so far i find the one i'm reading 'better' than the main series...

This is the Jay Rayner book I’ve been listening to. The recipes are great and the stories very entertaining.

i'm on book ten of, i think, thirty two in the knights templar series by michael jecks.
a similar read to the crowner john books.

ps. i've just looked him up - i hadn't realised that jay rayner has written so many books.

I finished the Michael Jecks Templar series a while ago. I’m just up-to-date with his Jack Blackjack series.

There was a new Sister Fidelma book out which I read recently, but the plots are getting a bit similar in that series.

The latest Richard Cole’s book was a bit long winded. There were long sections about monastic rites and traditions which, while quite informative, added nothing to the plot.
