what book you reading at the moment? (incl poll)

There are ways of getting ebooks without supporting bezos. You're not tied to Amazon with a Kindle.

Also, there are ways of procuring said ebooks on the seven seas (yearrrrrrrrr m80)

Yes, I would prefer not to give Bexos money.

But I would like to support the author. A lot of time and effort goes into writing a book. If no one buys it, the authors will stop writing.

Last few weeks I've started reading again. Mostly popular fiction, tbh. A lookalike Normal People about a wan from Kildare who goes to Trinity. Afterlives by a Tanzanian lad, Gurnah. (Really liked that one) and Tatty a child narrator one about family life and issues. Sure, they keep me out of the pub and the bookies. Unlike the male protagonist of Tatty.

I've the free app on my PC. I prefer real books though. If you've a pc or laptop you can just download it

Donny doesn't have a PC or a laptop.

Kindle is OK for shorter books, or stuff you want to read once, I have one but am back to buying paperbacks again.

You've probably read it but

The Dirtiest Race in History: Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis and the Olympic 100m Final​

by Richard Moore

Thought it was a great read.

Just finished ' LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY' by Bonnie Garmus. It's kinda quirky and offbeat. It wasn't. Complete page turner for me , but I enjoyed it well enough.

Just started ' FORTUNES ROCKS' by Anita Shreves. Not sure yet as I have just started but it's holding my interest so far. It's actually beautifully written , That I can say. Her prose is a joy and if the story holds out it just might be a winner for me.

Just finished reading a bk serious about the Coming of the Third Reich, The Third Reich in Power and The Third Reich at war. Excellent bks if a bit grim. Now I am on to a Japanese invasion of China bk. Enjoying it so far.
