Reading List

Well, since I last updated, I've read The Belfry Witches (a kids book), Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer, and Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein.

The Belfry Witches wasn't the type of book I used to read as a child, but it was nonetheless entertaining. Kane and Abel, is a classic, that juxtaposes the fortunes of two men, one born with every advantage, and the other with just his ambition and determination.

Starship Troopers is a good read - I haven't seen the film - and stylistically different from the other novels I've mentioned in this blog. It's subject is the near extinction of the human race through warfare with an alien race, but its tone is light.

Yesterday, I bought No Mercy by Colin Forbes, and read the first 45 pages in the pub. It opens well, with a couple of different angles to capture the imagination.
