Re: What Are You Reading ?
Jack Reacher #25. A great read so far. This is one of Lee Child's last input into the series, and iirc his brother Andrew, who cowrote this with LC, is taking over the series - eventually.

Attack Surface by Cory Doctorow. In fact I read the first two books (and short story Force Multiplier) before starting Attack Surface.

Huntingtower by John Buchan. (Author of The Thirty-Nine Steps.) It's an excellent "thriller", written shortly after the First World War.
Has anyone here read The Thirty-Nine Steps or any of the other Richard Hannay novels? They are all superb.

Re: What Are You Reading ?
I am reading and re-reading the sequel to Fall Planet, scouting out errors and inconsistencies. By the time I finish doing that over and over I do not want to read the story anymore. HaHaHa!

I was working near the site of Lewes Priory a couple of weeks ago, and spotted carved tracery in stones in an old garden wall, obviously reused from the suppressed and demolished priory. It was close to Anne of Cleves House - an old house that was part of her divorce settlement but never occupied by her.
