I am currently reading inca gold by clive cussler.
I adore James Ellroy. My favourite of his is American Tabloid.
I am reading David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets which is one of the books which inspired the TV series The Wire. Simon is an excellent observational writer and the subject matter - Baltimore's homicide department - is fascinating.
I've got loads of work-based reading to do at the mo so admittedly it is taking me a while longer than normal to get through, but it is great.
I've been considering trying to read Kapital by Marx again,I was a little young last time I tried and just couldn't get the plot...does it have a happy ending??
I read Forgotten Voices of the Great War.
Good book containing stories from real squaddies during the First World War.
Bored of the Rings- still.
It's bloody funny, and not all that long- but it's travelled to several countries, done a around the UK trip (more than once) and I still haven't gotten past 3/4's of the flaming thing.:doh:

i am also reading Oscar Wildes short stories at the moment
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd - I do know who "dunnit", only because I've read it before - but it's still brilliant!
In Eithiopia with a Mule by Dervla Murphy
and
For a Pagan Song: In the Footsteps of the Man Who Would be King - Travels in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan by Jonny Bealby
both authors obviously make it out alive 'cause they brought books out after these!
Just discovered Bealby through his Running with the Moon, about his travels through Africa by motorbike loooooong before Ewan McGregors trip. Great travel books with a very touching story throughout.
Just finished Animal Farm.....nothing changes does it :-?
