Chums by Simon Kuper. How a tiny caste of Oxford tories took over the UK. Very insightful read.

My Name is Yip by Paddy Crewe (never heard of him, then again I think this is his first.) Quite enjoying it, even if it's a variation on the 'young misfit in Wild West has a series of adventures' novel.

Just gonna start ' Fire' by John Boyne. I read ' Water' and like it . There's another two in the series so I guess that's where I'm heading.

I loved it, but its a tough read I terms of subject matter.

Just fyi!

Winner of the 2017 Prix Goncourt Eric Vuillard's gripping novel The Order of the Day tells the story of the pivotal meetings which took place between the European powers in the run-up to World War Two. What emerges is a fascinating and incredibly moving account of failed diplomacy, broken relationships, and the catastrophic momentum which led to conflict.

Tied in nicely today with this

Starship Troopers read it the second time better than my first time reading it. Good book and love the film.

Re-reading a collection of longish short stories by Turgenev titled "First Love", which I bought a long time ago, this one is a favourite. ?
