    Read two by John Grisham and am half way through 'Vietnam - A view from the trenches' by Anthony Weist.
    I'm hooked on Grisham; not literature but great stories.

    Finished The Invention of Wings, Sue Monk Kidd. Really enjoyed it. An interesting story of slave and high society life in Charleston in the 1800's. Didn't realise until I read the author's note at the back that it's based on real characters and events.

    Finders Keepers, Stephen King next.

    History of Loneliness and The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne.

    Both very good books and The Heart's Invisible Furies is quite funny.

    I've read the three of these, they're quite good. You might enjoy the 3 Swallow books by Conor Brady. Set in the 1880s Dublin.

    Finished Greg Bear's legacy which is a prequel to his the way series. I enjoyed the original 2 books but the prequel was pretty average really.
