I have just looked for this months and the new ones from Stuart McBride, Peter May et al are all silly money. I like a mix of political and whodunnits with a bit of humour thrown in. I have noticed that humour is rare. I guess folk don't like being laughed at. Even the left wing humorists have become PC. Just like the lasses on TV at the film award love in wearing bugger all but don't want me to lust. Silly girls.

I find it hard to say much about books at book club apart from I liked it or I didn't ! Not sure if book club read "Ernest" a few years ago, but if not, it will be my suggestion for the next round. I am reading Pearl S. Buck " The Good Earth" at the moment, my book club suggestion for this time round....not got far, but really enjoying it.
