Putting other books aside for a while to read John Le Carré 'A Legacy of Spies'.

A guilty pleasure of mine is reading spy novels.

People used to give me strange looks when I read Ian Fleming at lunch.

James A. Michener: Alaska

Not bad, got stuck the last time I tried I am over that mark already (250/1100 pages)

Michener is very wordy; I had the same problem when I started reading James Clavell.

I agree, very well written book about very interesting times.

Just finished The Nursing Home Murder, by Ngaio Marsh. Not bad, but she's written better.

Just about to start Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut. Don't spoil it for me!

I won't. It just reminds me of the time I studied American literature at the University, late 70's. It was one of the novels we absolutely had to read, including writers such as J. D. Salinger, Ernest Hemingway, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau to mention a few - all of them great to read but my favourites still are Salinger and Hawthorne.

Salinger was a one hit wonder..who then faded into oblivion ...Orwell wrote novels that are still meaningful..
.. Now reading "The Night Manager" by Le' Carre'
