Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

I rarely listen to book at bedtime and to be honest had forgotten it started this week, I'll catch up on iPlayer. Similarly I have been listening to Fergal Keen reading, lovely voice 😉,  his family life Wounded at 9.45am well worth a listen. Often you can catch omnibus versions on 4extra but at the weekend. 

They had a spell of book at bedtime that I didn't consider conducive to a decent sleep and I stopped then and not got back in the habit.

I agree with you there, some of the books have been the stuff of nightmares not peaceful sleep. So the night I decided to listen Adrian Mole is just finishing!  I've still got the old paperback book so I've lined it up for a re-read if I don't catch up on iplayer.

Thank  you  all  for  your  suggestions / comments  --  I'll  have  to  spend  the  afternoon  researching  your  ideas  then  loading  the  Kindle  !!

Whoops apologises 😶. Fergal Keen's reading Wounds not as I stated Wounded! I missed this mornings and went on iPlayer and find that there are 5 episodes available and are download-able. I like the new auto play which allows you to continue to listen without having to select the next episode - a good improvement in my opinion. Sorry this isn't reading books ourselves 😲

Ouch,  just  printed  off  a  list  of  some  mentioned  authors  &  their  output    --  It  seems  I've  got  about  five  years  non-stop  reading  should  I  down-load  that  lot  onto  my  kindle  !!  Think  I'll  keep  away  from  my  Bank  Manager  for  a  while  or  I won't  get  a  Christmas  card  from  her  !!

But  thank  you  all  anyway  ,

I've virtually given up on my kindle, I buy cheap secondhand books from ebay or charity shops, much cheaper for the books I want to read. 

I  dare not do  that,  Brue,  my  licence**  only  permits  me to  drive  up  to  &  NOT  EXCEEDING 3,500  !!  Imagine,  if  you  dare,  what  I'd  have  to  leave  out  of  the  motor  when  out  enjoying  myself  .

**  Don't  think  I've  given  the  "  Safety  Alarm  Active"  warning  on  here  yet   !!

3 - yearly  Medical  / old  Man  licence  due  to  expire  in  December  and  DVLA  Swansea  sent  me  the  notification  &  Application  paperwork  in  early  September.  Decided  to  cheat  &  did  it  on  line  so  got  a  nice  letter  saying  application  rec'd  ok,  up date  in  10  working  days.  Got  back  a  day  or  so  early  from  muddy  Bedfordshire  to  find  the  licence  had  arrived  after 9  days  in  total.  4 days  later  a  letter  came  telling  me  the  application  had  been  approved  &  the  licence  would  follow  in  due  course.  !!

Good  to  see  the  Civil  Service  replacements  are  keeping  up  the  Highest  of  high  standards.  

Ah, I can see your point! 

I made a mistake with my old friend Adrian Mole, it's on all week, book at bedtime, radio 4. 

Oh,  now  should  I  listen  to  Adrian  M.  then  read  my  obligatory  two  chapters  or  should  I  read  .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Similar dilemma for me ABM, the life of Adrian Mole or Stephen Hawking....
