This Week I are mostly reading (contd)

Keith Richards, Life.

Fun. Though how he can remember all that's beyond me, when a clean-living gal like me can't remember last week :pac:

Reading the cobra by Frederick forsyth and planning on hitting the Joe nesbo collection next. Must order them asap on TBD.

Orwell, Homage to Catalonia

Postcards by E. Annie Proulx.

Found this book while visiting my granny during the week and borrowed it.
Here's some of the blurb:

'The richness of America is portrayed with memorable effect in this remarkable first novel - Faulkner springs to mind. Postcards is written from the heart and - for its raspy dialogue, laconic humour and beautiful description of the natural world - deserves to be widely read.'

'.......not since Steinbeck has the migrant worker's life been so evocatively rendered.'

'Loyal Blood is one of those rare, haunted characters who continue to live in the mind after you finish the book.'

I'm only about 50 pages or so into it but already I'm reminded of 'Of Mice and Men'. It has the same kind of feel to it, hence the reference to Steinbeck in the blurb I suppose. Anybody here read it? I already have the feeling that its going to be very enjoyable.

War and Peace. This could take a while :pac: Liking it though.

It's my current MP3 book for when I go walking .... years since I read it & I think I remember a TV version years ago & a lot of girls named Natasha or Sonya around that time.

Starting The Falls by Joyce Carol Oates

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Just finished Salinger's Franny and Zooey. I preferred The Catcher in the Rye but it's not too bad all the same.
