I'm currently reading a book called "Playing Tennis With The Moldovans" by Tony Hawk (not the skateboarder). This bloke had a bet he could play tennis against all the members of the Moldovan football team, and has written quite an amusing account of how he has attempted it. It was written late 90s, and Moldova sounds thoroughly depressing. Dunno if it would be much different now.

I've just finished this one:
 Not a bad short story collection but I really wish they'd translated the next main novel before this seeing as they skipped this for some reason in the first place. I can see why they did this because I recognise most of these stories from references made in The Witcher 3, but I still think it was a poor decision to translate the first short story collection The Last Wish, skip this, then do the first three novels, then go back to this and leave the novel storyline hanging (we have to wait a whole year now to get the next novel in the UK and another whole year after that to get the last novel).

Absolutely loved this one, quite the unexpected ending. Before moving on to the next book in the series, I'm reading this:  Really interesting so far, it's a non-fiction book about the finding of a lost Caravaggio painting but it's written like a fiction novel. I haven't finished it yet, but already I recommend this to anyone who likes art history and even just a good mystery.

I tend to read a lot of historical fiction.
Just finished reading the two A. L. Berridge books from the 30-years War period, 'Honour And The Sword' and 'In The Name Of The King'. Pretty good adventure series so far. I will be reading her one other book, set during the Crimean War, 'Into The Valley Of Death' Other authors I've read recently: Christian Cameron, excellent writer that reminds me very much of Bernard Cornwell (the Sharp's Rifles series) but without the cynicism. He mainly writes of the Greek classical period and the Macedonian period (Alexander the Great). Martin McDowell, has only written two books so far, both follow a fictional British regiment during the opening of the Peninsula War in Portugal/Spain in 1808-1809. Again, an excellent series so far. I hope more are to come. |

^I love historical fiction as well. I should give Christian Cameron's books a try as I love Ancient Greek history.

I've been in a sci-fi mood lately. I read Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds little while back. It was mostly a decent book but the ending felt rather anticlimactic and flat.
I'm currently reading an omnibus edition of the first three books in Elizabeth Moon's Heris Serrano trilogy. I'm on the second one and so far it's been enjoyable.

Finished The Lost Painting, and it was a fantastic read. Now I'm starting this book that I've had for about a year but never started:
 It's pretty confusing so far, as there isn't really any explanation why the main character is seeing the supernatural and it's implied that she's "dead" but not. I'm hoping there's more explanation as it progresses. |

Currently reading about six things at once, none of any great literary note, unless you count Bill, The Galactic Hero on the Planet of the Robot Slaves.

I stopped reading when I had kids, but I´ve tried reading Stephen King´s The Dark Tower from an end for the third time. It´s taken me 10 years to get to book six
 . I used to love reading, but there just insn´t time in my life for it anymore. I´ll pick it up Again when I get old.
