Dunstan by Conn Iggythingy, based on a historical person who was the Abbott of Glastonbury, A/Bishop of Canturbury; a master builder of fine churches and Conn would have us believe deadly power broker of Kings.
 
12 Horseman, about USA response to 9/11 and the almost immediate insertion of US special forces into Northern Alliance fighters with minimal planning and little support. Brave men 1 and all.
 
I took MK Jnr down the library and in the kids section they had a load of Michael Morpurgo books, so now reading "Twist Of Gold" which seems to be Angela's Ashes-lite - but a good light read nonetheless.
 
I've never read any Thomas Hardy but am making a start now with "Two On A Tower".

Didn't much enjoy that. Beautiful writing, but just couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for the main characters.

Our recent trip to Brussels has had me re-discovering my old Tintin books. Reading Tintin in America with the children, and just re-read King Ottakar's Sceptre myself.

But back to the bookshelf tonight to find something a little more substantial for the daily commute!
 
And The Sun Shines Now by Adrian Tempany subtitled 'how Hillsborough and the Premier League changed Britain'.
Incredible first hand account of being in the Hillsborough disaster and harrowing.
So far the rest has a sensationalist and conspiratorial feel that doesn't do much for me.
 
Enjoyed Martin Rowson's cartoon adaption of The Communist Manifesto very much.

Currently reading Philip.K.Dick's Electric Dreams.SF's not usually my thing but these are powerful short stories.
 
If you mean Blade Runner, that was of course,originally, a full length novel, (Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?).Many of the short stories in Electric Dreams were filmed as one hour programmes in the recent C4 TV series.

I think Mr N is being a bit cheeky.
