I read the latest Erik Winter novel, the dude likes his drams. He had a Longrow, a Littlmill (well) and an Ardbeg 1978...

Bill Bryson - "Down Under".
Having recently finished "notes from a Small Island" and "A Walk in the Woods"

One of my favourites Nick, I just wish I had the chance to show both him and MrTH a different side of my home city.

Didn't he quite like Aberdeen in the end? (It is Aberdeen isn't it? )

Edit: Just checked your signature and it is

How to Become a Really Good PAIN IN THE ASS

by Christopher DiCarlo
Great read. Makes you consider many vantages without "telling you" what to think/do.

The Impossible Dead by Ian Rankin

The US Secret Service boys should have read this before their trip to Columbia. Or, maybe they did.

My "family tree" - put together about 25 years ago by an aunt.... Was reading a 1906 letter my great grandfather wrote to his brother....he mentioned always having "Duffey's Malt Whiskey" in the house. In 1886, they made a malt whiskey they advertised as the "greatest known heart tonic".

Barometer Rising, by Hugh MacLennan. Thought it was about time I read a couple of this Canadian great's novels. This, his first, is set against the backdrop of the Halifax Explosion of 1917.

To Kill a Mockingbird

The Complaints by Ian Rankin. Good writer. Nice descriptions, fluid without bogging down the story.

The Complaints by Ian Rankin. Good writer. Nice descriptions, fluid without bogging down the story.

I'm a big fan of his lengthy 'Inspector Rebus' series of mystery novels (it starts with Knots and Crosses from 1987). Always interesting to this reader.

Bring Up the Bodies - Hilary Mantel

Another amazing book by Mantel. For sale May 8 (I have the Advance Review Copy). I highly recommend it. This is the second book in the trilogy following Wolf Hall.

For several days now, the manual for an Olympus OM-D E-M5. This is sending me bonkers.

Always blame it on the manual

Just finished The Silmarillion again. I know people find it difficult but I find it easier every time.
trouble is, nothing lives up to the language and scale afterwards so it's hard to know what to read next.

I'm reading Tom Sawyer for, would you believe, the first time

That must be the key - I've only read Silmarillion once - liked it but it was a challenge. Lucky you to be reading Tom Sawyer for the first time! When you're done w/that & if you're still in the mood for Twain, you might want to read his Innocents Abroad - it's really funny. His travel diary through Europe, Egypt & the Holy Land. I go back to this book & read a chapter when I need a laugh.

Most of the time i blame the Mrs, the manual is a pleasant change.

[Mr Tattie Heid]

I thought we blamed everything on Willie.

[Pete Smoke]

Admittedly, mine has got me into trouble on more than one occasion.

[Peat Sampras]

At least the manual can't deny you sex

Thanks for the suggestion!
I have read quotes and I think I may do it next. I do like Samuel Clemens, but haven't read this particular book before. It's good.

The earliest 'Rebus' novel our local library has is Black & Blue. I plan to pick it up today while we're in town.
