Just took delivery of Shake Hands with the Devil by Romeo Dallaire. He was the UN commander during the Rwandan genocide. Certainly not a light hearted subject but something that I think it's worthwhile reading about.

Have to look out for that at some point. I'm currently reading Jonathan Ross's book Why Do I say These Things (rather apt considering it was written before Sachsgate  ). Nice, light reading with some interesting anecdotes. Waiting for Defiance: The Bielski Partisans to arrive, the book that became the film, Defiance. Should make a very interesting read.

Sounds almost as good as my current reading: Interpolation on Scattered Data in Multidimensions. Sadly, I'm actually reading that for fun.

I've nearly finished Small Gods, I really should start something new; it isn't like I don't have a choice - there are loads of books upstairs I've not read yet, I've just not been in the mood to start them.

Just finished The Hogfather and now picked up Russel Brand's My Booky Wook. Compelling read but mainly because I seem to relate to him in my way of thinking...
*there goes my invite to any future meets!*

I read an awful lot, usually dark crime psych stuff but intertwined witha large dose of girlie fluff (easy reading no brainers!). I picked up what I thought was one such fluffy book called The Rise and Fall of a DOmestic Diva by Sarah May. Finding it very unsettling reading. It's good, just very very close to the bone and I keep having to take a break and look out the window or walk about. Odd.

I recently finished a goofy mystery by Diane Mott (Tough Cookie) and now I am back to an old favorite....Mansfield Park.

 I just finished Small Gods and decided to read The Secret Garden again. This does mean I will start thinking in a broad yorkshire accent but I'll try to keep it out of my posts My copy is starting to fall apart and come away from its binding  there is a message in it which says it was a christmas gift in 1957 so it isn't doing too badly but it means I'll have to try and get another copy at some point soon.
