    Default Book currently reading

    I'm currently reading FLAGS of OUR FATHERS by James Bradley. It's the story of the flag raising on the island of Iwo Jima during WW2 by the US Marines. It has been considered the bloodiest battle of the entire war in the Pacific. James Bradley is the son of one of the five flag raisers. His father was a Marine Corpsman - a Navy personnel medic assigned to the Marines. A movie has been made from the story in the book.

    And on TV the portrayal of Inspector Rebus by the actor Ken Stott is IMO perfect, but sadly just read recently that Ken Stott is not going to play Rebus anymore
    Once the original Grumpy Owld Man but alas no more

    Did I hear it right that Rebus has been axed from the TV schedules completely? Caught the tail end of something the other day.

    Yes, golach, I read that he felt he'd had enough -sadly. And just as sadly -it seems as if Ian Rankin's written his last Rebus novel.

    I love them, but I've read them all - I'll just have have to start re-reading them now.

    Im reading a cook book called "in a cajun kitchen".

    Although it is a cook book, it also has lots of the authors family stories from way back in Louisiana, so it covers a time and place i just love.

    I have the final "Rebus" book on the coffee table...can't bring myself to pick it up as I don't want to get to the end. Also have "Rhett Butlers' People" to start.

    I've just had a month where I was non stop reading (I used to read alot but dont usually read so much now), managed to get through quite a few.

    How to Kill Your Husband (and other handy household hints) by Kathy Lette, it was absolutely brilliant, and completely unpredictable. pretty good for a book I picked at random in an offer at Tesco. Would recommend it to anyone.

    Also just finished reading the Flowers In The Attic series by Virginia Andrews. I think I was reading each book in a day and a half, and with trying to fit that in around college, I think that's a pretty good acheivement. I've already told my friends about it, and one of them wanted to borrow them. It's just a shame I lent them to her because now I want to read them all again!
