thedandydon Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Bought a Kindle years ago but it rarely gets used these days. Was useful when I was commuting up and down the railways but since then just preferred the real paper and ink deal. Im not the speediest of readers but probably get through a couple of books a month. mostly historical fiction/non-fiction or sci-fi/fantasy stuff. Just about to get stuck into a few Alistair Maclean novels (Where Eagles Dare, Guns of Navarone..) Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Anyone read the Inspector McLean series of books by James Oswald? Edinburgh based detective with a touch of the paranormal about them - well worth a read if not already done so. Link to comment

For Fecks Sake Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just started "The way of all flesh" by Ambrose Parry which is a pseudonym for a joint collaboration between Christopher Brookmyer and his wife Marisa Haetzman. Set in Edinburgh in 1840 around medicine and murder. So far so good. Aberdeen city features in a lot of his standalone books in the Jack Parlabane series and it's not overly positive either!

For Fecks Sake Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Reading the latest Ian Rankin / Rebus book "A song for dark times".
