What book are you reading?

What books have you read lately?

Do you have any book recommendations?

I love to read but because I read so much I have read a lot of books and struggle to find new ones to pick up. The last book I read was Gareth Brown: The Book of Doors – I found it to be one of those ”I can’t put this down” books and finished the near 500 page book within 3 days.

I normally stick to a routine of going to bed at 10:30pm but because of this book I wasn’t getting to sleep until about 2:00am. Worth it though it was such a great book!

Adding this to my recommendations for other avid readers.

Now I’m reading Nerd Do Well – Simon Peggs autobiography. I’m a big Simon Pegg fan, I love his films and when I saw he’d released a biography, I went out and bought it straight away!

Looking forward to hearing what you have read and checking any recommendations you may have.

  • I don't read books often anymore, but I'm reading Terry Pratchett's biography at the moment, A Life with Footnotes. I loved reading the Discworld books growing up and sad he died.

    I recently picked up the Long Earth / Long War erc series of books he wrote in conjunction with Stephen Baxter but some reviews I since read said they were his attempt at serious sci-fi and are not really very good.

    Have you tried these?

    I've been a Pratchett fan since the time of Small Gods so have been impatiently waiting for the new releases for decades. He is an exceptional writer with a great eye for the human condition and ways to make our biggest failings funny.
