I know there's a load of book readers here so thought we could have a regularly updated thread where we say what books we're reading. I've personally purchased books on recommendations from this forum before.
Having just finished 'The Drowners' by our own 'KTBlue', which I blitzed in bed on Saturday morning, I've not moved on to:
Easy to read. 6th book in the series. Kind of like the Jack Reacher novels but probably not as polished.

The most detailed Beatles book ever, I'm a few hundred pages in (literally) and it is New Years Day 1959....and John, Paul and George are Japage 3 pleaying family weddings!
900+ pages and this takes you tothe release of their first single! So very detailed....

This has been my reading choice of late.
What is is about?
Pronouns: He/Him/His.
"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."

Arnhem by Antony Beevor. Coincidental that it’s the 75th Anniversary but hit has made it more poignant.
It's really good isn't it? He doesn't hide his views on the conception and planning of the operation.
The anniversary could really have done with a bit more media coverage, a reflection that this wasn't the heroic failure of 'A Bridge too Far' but a horrific clusterfk that cost hundreds of lives at the time and thousands more the following Winter.

Yes, it’s excellent. I have been listening to Al Murray’s podcast which has been really good over the last week - covering day by day. I certainly hadn’t appreciated what a shambles Allied command was at the time.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Any good?
Tried reading How to Win Friends and Influence People but after a few pages, just not for me. Likewise The Art of War.

Haven't read enough to know yet. I'll let you know.
Thrive by Rob Kelly is decent if you stick with the techniques. Bloody hard work though. Also very difficult to change your mindset when you're in a situation which is pure misery like my last job was. Hard to go through the techniques when you want to start sobbing
