I'm currently double taking on the first part of that post. Confused

I'm reading "I see you" by Gregg Hurwitz which started badly but is picking up very nicely and will probably have a dreadful ending. Laughing

After such an impressive review is it wrong that I really want to read "I See You" now.

In fairness to the author I will add that Harlen Coben said "Pure nail-biting, stay-up-all-night suspense" and Robert Crais wrote "The MUST READ crime novel of the year"

I find most books end badly though, and that includes the otherwise majestic IT.

Ah well that's a relief I thought it was just a non fiction book about tractor development. Embarassed

Legendary Farm Tractors (from 1880 to present day)by Andrew Morland is a fantastic encyclopedia. Especially like the Porsche Coffee Plantation Tractor which looks more at home in a james bond movie.

(ok so my son has aspergers and is a tractor anorak, so I've developed an unhealthy interest in weird things over the years!). Embarassed

I'm still reading A Bit of a Blur by Alex James.

Too much other stuff going on at the moment to read.
