As I am reading constantly, I am most interested in input about old or new favorites. At the moment, I am slumming with Cotswold murder mysteries by Stella Cameron.
When waiting to get tired at night, I turn to Bill Bryson and "One summer. 1927"

Starting Stephen King's Fairy Tale tonight. I've been so looking forward to this book. I need an old school instant King classic. Most of my favorite King books are his fantasy stories - The Talisman, The Dark Tower, Eyes Of The Dragon - so my expectations are high. I hope I'm not disappointed.
Finished this last week. A joy from first page to last. Love the man.
Ashamed to say I didn't recognise the Barras.
Book related, just above the black car on the right.....
@berlintramp I finally read a Barbara Pym, as recommended by you. Quartet in Autumn and I thought it was excellent - nothing really happened, but it was a beautifully drawn story of four people approaching retirement and how their lives interacted. Some very subtle humour, which I liked and a struggle to understand the modern world, as it was in the 1970's.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will read more of her work!
I've heard about that book, haven't read it.
As you say, supposed to be a very tough one to get through.
I read this interview with the author Douglas Stuart recently, interesting read.
