    Finished Jo Nesbo's crime thriller The Son. Not part of his Harry Hole crime series this is a stand alone book but in a similar style and if you enjoy his Harry Hole series which I very much do you will enjoy this one too. A good read for sure.

    I'm reading The Meg just now, the one about the big prehistoric shark that got made into a film with Jason Statham, I would describe it as enjoyable nonsense.

    I would really recommend it. Fundamentally disagree with him on a lot of things, however enjoyed reading why he believes in what he believes in and what he has tried to do in Cumbria. I genuinely like him and think he is a good *, while knowing if it comes to the crunch we would be on opposite sides of the barricades :giggle1:. Then again it was interesting reading biographies of Thatcher and Johnson as you always learn things from seeing the other side of the argument without having to agree with it. ( If the other side are at least willing to engage .)

    Brilliant cheers for that. Exactly why it interested me when I seen it on audible, will maybe give it a go next time I'm looking, nice one.

    I read this paperback years ago - probably when it was first published - and for some reason it occurred to me last week that it would work on the Kindle too.

    ;)

    Hmm - photo didn't really work as intended. Tony Hawks. Hitch hiked round Ireland, with...

    Read that before. Loved it. His other book 'playing the moldovans at tennis' is also very good
