What Book Are You Currently Reading?

Well I've resisted the temptation to start smoking again, 20+ years since, but I will have a strong coffee or two while getting down with the groovy people and re-reading Albert's oeuvre.  Parfait.

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

The Hypnotist by Lars Keplar, taken over where Joe Nesbo regrettably finished.

I loved Joe Nesbo might give that a go. Just finished Poor Things by Alisdair Grey. Bloody brilliant should have read it years ago. Was inspired to read it as it was turned into a movie recently which I have still to see. But looks a lot different from the book .

Just got a copy of "The Black Strat" by Phil Taylor




Starting off not a bad read and the pics from the 60's & 70's are great!

I did pick up a copy of this book, and while it is an interesting and entertaining read, the guitar itself eventually comes across as a 'Trigger's Broom' type of affair, wherein the only original parts are the strap-nuts and pick-up cavity. Reinforcing the notion that the 'magic' is in Mr Gilmour's fingers etc rather than a shifting amalgam of Leo F's finest design. Hmm.

So, given my recent late-flowering introduction to the existence of the partial-capo, I've taken the online plunge and obtained this little number. OMG it's even weirder than first imagined! Some of this stuff is borderline '...half-naked in a room full of men in shirts and ties doing funny handshakes in the name of secrecy etc'. Do you realise that there are songs written specifically to use up to 3 partial capos??!! What have these people been smoking? Anyhoo, here we go...

Re-reading "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah.

One of the most intriguing books I've ever read.

Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher.

Junie B. Jones Is (almost) a Flower Girl by Barbara Park (with my daughter)

I'm jealous of y'all who have time to read for yourselves. I'll get there again.

Heavily into  Kazuo Ishiguro at the moment, loved Klara and the Sun, (cannot wait for the movie version)
just finished the hidden giant . Currently reading the unconsoled. Working my way through his entire oeuvre.

Sometimes the story behind the written word is so odd it provokes further investigation. And then to find that someone has made a film about the odd story seems even more bizarre. Anyway, book done, and tonight it's a cheeky glass of cider to see just how they managed to translate from page to screen. I'll edit sometime later to update.
