A jolly good read?

[Jabbawolf]

I don't think that was me. The title doesn't ring a bell & westerns ain't my thing.

Edit never read any cormac Mccarthy so not guilty m'lud!

Ah, you’re right - just checked back, and it was T-Dan who mentioned it - apologies.

So disappointed it wasn't Darlo who mentioned it

It must have been a long time ago that I mentioned it!

I didn’t even like the book either. I gave up on it.

Reading the most recent Logan McRae book by Stuart McBride at the moment. I'm not massively highbrow so his take on the state of Scottish policing is always entertaining.

Listened to the audiobook of Salem's Lot by Stephen King whilst I was away recently and got to thinking how any book written at that time would need totally replotting due to the invention of the mobile phone.

I enjoy some nonsense police prodedurals now and again, Loganberry McRae books are pretty good, an even grittier Rebus.

Got A Clockwork Orange and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest for Christmas (Helen is single handedly rebuilding my library) and I can’t wait to get into them. Love the films but have never read the books.

Both fantastic books.
Cuckoo's nest is still brilliant, but quite different from the film. (Really want to say more, but I don't want to spoil it for you)

It’s another I’ve been meaning to read for years but just never got round to it. No excuse now, I just need to find the time.

I did finish The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde just before Christmas and it wasn’t what I was expecting at all. Obviously I knew the basic story but it was a very brief read and quite bereft of any of the gothic horror I was expecting.

Currently reading Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel, she is/was a brilliant writer.
