I'm just about coming to the end of Deborah Moggach’s book, Heartbreak Hotel. I found it a very enjoyable read and very amusing. But what should I read next? Any recommendations? 

I also wondered if anyone would be interested in a Club Together book club? According to a member survey earlier last year, reading is the most recurring leisure activity whilst caravanning. I know I’m a book worm and I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who enjoy a good read. Anyone interested or any suggestions?

Read "Charlotte Gray" by Sebastien Faulks. A very thought provoking yarn especially at this time of remembrance as it tells of a girl who is recruited into the SOE in a minor capacity and what she experienced in France. It is fiction but based on fact.

I agree Robsail. Read it a few years ago. I think it was either turned into a film or dramatised for TV but not certain on that as didn't watch it.

brue, don't know if you read crime thrillers, but I've just started the 4th of a series by Damian Boyd which are all set in Somerset around the Taunton/Bridgewater area, using actual locations. Easy reading, but do need to be read in sequence, really, to understand what's going on.

Will look out for those Nellie, I do sometimes read thrillers etc but I'm into non fiction at the moment. Goodness I wonder what might be happening around Taunton!? wink Just reading Monty and Sarah Don's "Jewel Garden" about their lives from meeting up, running a business, bankruptcy and the move to gardening (not your usual tale of woe and penury, slightly buffered by an inheritance at one point..!) A swift read with nice photos.

brue, I'm now reading the 5th one and it's taking place during the flooding on the levels, with Muchelney and other villages along KSD being cut off.

I see the next Jack Reacher book will be short stories, I think it's called No Middle Name, (as in Jack no middle name Reacher).

A while since I've read a book of short stories.

Whilst Lee Child has brought out this collection of Jack Reacher books I have noticed that it is not in fact his new annual JR book. This one is called The Midnight Line and guess what? It's out in time for Christmas.

For an entertaining

read try "The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 and a quarter Years old ". It's the story of a year of his life and his friends, The Old but not Dead Club, in a care home in Holland. Really funny.

Anyone else come across Tim Weaver's "David Raker" series? He's a specialist in tracking down missing persons - gets himself into some very sticky situations! Good stuff for a few days away in the van! smile
