I picked up "The Hobbit" today from Half Price Books. Never read it though i've seen the movie. Thought i'd give it a go.

I've actually listened to 16 straight Clive Cussler audiobooks in a row during my commute to work. It's taken months and it's not the deepest of literature but entertaining.

I'm going to re-read James Michener's "The Source"

Sniper One by Sgt Dan Mills.

Read that a few weeks ago. Amazing story about some very tough men. Well written too.

Yeah, I'm about half way through and it's pretty good. Some tough guys doing a very tough job.

In bed/bath: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - very well written from Deaths point of view about World War Two. Very funny in parts and harrowing in others.
On the move: Teatime for the Traditionally Built by Alexander McCall Smith (audiobook) Very funny, light entertainment with well written characters and poignant comment on human nature.
In between: What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami. Absolutely love all the fictional books of his that I've read but this is more autobiographical. Interesting glimpse into the life of an author I love.

If anyone's looking for something to read that's a little bit unusual but a very engaging story, try Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I promise that it's nothing to do with Kafka and not at all "worthy"

Those sound interesting

I've got to go to the libray soon, I'll have a look for them.
