What Are You Reading?

[Chris Plumb]

As usual I've got about 3 books on the go at the moment (1 in me briefcase, 1 bedside, 1 next to my Pc at home!!!). My commuting read is currently 'The Frozen Water Trade' by Gavin Weightman.

 

Bedside book is The Open Creel by HT Sheringham - Jaq got me the Medlar repro for me Birthday last week.

 

And I've half way through Clifford& Arbery's Redmire Pool...

Point taken Jeepster. The weird thing is I always have trouble sleeping when I have to be up very early the next day. I think I will try and restrict them to those days, about seven days a month. Am I a junkie now?

 

I think if I was a lottery winner I would go to bed about 3am every day and get up about 10am. All this early morning stuff just is not me.

 

Yeah Davy, I understand that, so I'm off it at the moment. I just need to win 10 million and I'll be sorted

OK, currently reading:

The Victorians by A N Wilson

Elizabeth by David Starkey

Blenheim Battle for Europe by Charles Spencer

 

Love Bryson by the way Finepix

To get to sleep, I generally have to read (or get legless).

 

Currently, I've got a Michael Connelly 'Harry Bosch' trilogy on the go.

 

I quite like those ones of his, but have been less impressed by his other work.

 

What's your bedside read right now?

 

 

I have just read Lynn Truss's book 'Eats Shoots and Leaves' which was really very funny - I identified a lot with that book!

 

I was so struck with the book I am now reading her new book 'Talk to the Hand' - Which should be mandatory reading for the more volatile posters on the Sea Angling forum.

The latest Harry Potter book

 

'With winning in mind' a sport psychology / shooting book - looking at winning from the mental angle

 

And then I've got the latest Nick Hornby book - can't remember the title.

 

Oh just remembered I also have the 'long way round' <I think> - the book of Ewen Magregor <sp?> and friends motor bike trip across most of Russia

I completely fell in love with that programme when it was on a year or so ago. Keep meaning to buy the book, but always forget!

 

My son (9yrs) picked up the first Harry Potter book in October, by the first week in Jan he'd finished all six I'm tempted to pick them up but if I read them before the Hobbit I don't think my Dad would talk to me again

"Nymphs and the Trout", Frank Sawyer, 1970

 

and

 

"The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout", Brian Clarke, 1975

 

On revisiting, both remind me that there is no point in re-inventing the wheel; all we need to do at the water's edge is to THINK.

[*Ant*]

Graham Hancock - Supernatural. Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind

[n4lly]

Carl Hiaasen - Double whammy

Yaaaaaaaayyyyy!

Hold on. Are you saying my book's a sleeping pill replacement?

 

Nah, my put-me-to-sleep reading is real boring stuff. Morris doesn't come close to qualifying that. Actually it would be a good way of keeping Newt awake - the snickering, giggling and howling.
