I'm reading "An Utterly Impartial History of Britain" by John O'Farrell, and enjoying it vey much. It's a thorough history with lots of random one-liners thrown in.

My favourite parts so far are Emperor Hadrian buildng his wall ending at Wallsend ("a sensible place to aim for"), in order to prevent the Picts coming over and calling him "Adrian" to wind him up, and Queen Boadicea rebelling over the incorrect spelling of her name.

I'm reading Come Clean by Terri Paddock.It's about this teenage girl who gets sent to this rehab hospital but she has nothing wrong with her.It's good so far but the annoying thing is that she is telling the story to her dead brother so it's kind of hard to follow.

@ Tony I really liked Azincourt it's my favourite Cornwell novel so far

I finished Come Clean by Terri Paddock which was an excellent book,one of the best I've ever read,everyone should read it.I've decided I'll either read Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson which I just downloaded onto my Kindle or I'll read The Chronicles of Vladimir Todd:Eighth Grade Bites.

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" by John Le Carré

Is it any good? Watched the movie, had to concentrate really hard at some points (but I'm easily confused, is it not, Sjoerd? )
