Currently reading Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey

Supernatural fantasy has a new anti-hero named James Stark.

I'm enjoying it, I don't normally read the fantasy genre, as I tend to stick to crime thrillers. But this one has been a good read so far...I'm mid-way through, and I've been dedicating up to an hour a night to read it.

Currently reading Pacific. Seen the series and thought I would see how the book shapes up.

Just finished reading a Reg Kray book, autobiography. Interesting read. Found the author rather naive, but a good insight into his life behind bars.

I am working my way through the Peter James "Roy Grace" series and the Lawrence Block "Matthew Scudder" series, alternating between one and the other. At the moment, Peter James' Looking Good Dead, which will be followed by "Time To Murder" by Block. I had read a couple out of sequence. Those that liked the Jack Reacher books should enjoy these books.

Finding the SR-71 book a bit boring, seems to be mainly lists of the checks carried out to perform a typical mission, although some interesting bits in there. I think maybe he's written more than one, and I may have the wrong one?

So to give some lighter reading, I've gone for "Grand Prix Motorcycle Racers: The American Heroes" by Norm DeWitt.

I'm not really into sci-fi reading, but was looking for something different from the usual detective thriller types and stumbled across 'Ark Royal' by Christopher Nuttal. I am currently reading the fourth in the series that has been carrying on book-by-book by reader request. It's sort of a contemporary take on the future of the Royal Navy. Where many future-looking scripts assume that planets will become a combined entity, this one assumes that national boundaries continue into a space-faring future, even when an alien attack threatens Earth. It's easy-reading and pretty compelling.

They Came Before Columbus, father in law got me it for Christmas as he knew I'd just finished The Mammoth Book of Native Americans. Good read so far.

Just finished the last of Le Carré's George Smiley books, Smiley's people. Pretty good. I've gone old school now, The Thirty-nine Steps by John Buchan.

"The Fast Stuff" by Matt Oxley.
A collection of articles the bike journalist has written over the years about racing. Interviews with the likes of Doohan, Schwantz, Lawson etc. Trying his hand at Suzuka with the big boys, trying the nasty 500 GP bikes.

Want to know how to rear wheel steer? Doohan explains (kind of ).

Really enjoying it. If you like your reading in short bursts, this book would be ideal. Well written, informative, funny and downright scary. Only downside is a raft of typos on the Kindle version, but otherwise gets the from me.

A brief history of time - Stephen Hawking. Quite suprised I haven't read this earlier. Quite an easy read on a non-intuative phenomenon

Algorithms: Design and Analysis by Robert Sedgewick. Need to re-learn about directed graphs.

From the fiction collection, I've got the daVinci code on the go as well as the smartest giant in town.
