John Simpson's ''Strange Places, Questionable People''
A very interesting read....

quote from Amazon..
''John Simpson has had an extraordinary professional life: he has been to 101 countries, interviewed 120 rulers of various persuasions, and witnessed 29 wars and uprisings. He had an ill-fated spell reading the Nine O'Clock News, and was also the BBC political correspondent (which he loathed).''

Hi
Ive just finished "Room" by Emma Donoghue-is that the "Room that you mentioned Rachel?

Really enjoyed it -it took me a bit of time to get used to the style of the telling-cant say more as it will give the story away

This could put some people off-but it does grow on you
Will look for other books by the same author

I am reading TheAntiTerrorist Handbook by Timothy Anti Terrorist.

A brilliant read a real eye opener I can't put it down.
Not everyone's cup of tea but I think well worth the read.

Quote from Amazon:
The way one changes the world for the better is not by coercion, cajolement or the manipulative technique of lies, but by reacquainting oneself with the concept of common sense, to awaken to who you truly are-not a victim of your government, nor a slave of corporations, but a sovereign soul who may have stepped into the trap of trusting others to fix the world for you. It is up to you to change the world by changing yourself. Like any gift, the message within this book can either be discarded wholesale, or grasped like a flaming torch and carried aloft on your journey. In this spirit, may you take what you can use and light your own way to freedom.

I'm re-reading D.L. Sayers' "Unnatural Death" which features Chief Inspector Parker (whom Parker is named after even though everyone thinks he is after Parker in Thunderbirds and they ask me if Cherry is called Penelope and I reply "No-I'm Lady Penelope!"

my dad dug out a couple of books from the garage the other day, both from the 1930's titled "everybody's best friend" and "universal home doctor illustrated" intended to be manuals for every day life, and common ailments and how they are treated. they make for amusing reading to say the least!
