I am currently reading the third book in the Cemetery O Forgotten Books. Read the first one for a book group and got addicted - brilliant cant put them down.

I’ve just finished The Scandal by Fredrick Backman, I had to ration myself, otherwise I’d have just sat down and read it until I’d finished, and I learned a lot about ice hockey, a subject I previously knew nothing about, apparently it’s going to be adapted for TV but that might be in Sweden. Some of you may remember the author from A man called Ove.

I usually read lots of fiction - especially fantasy - but at the moment I'm enjoying a book I was given at Christmas and have just got round to: Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind - Yuval Noah Harari

Fascinating stuff Currently reading ‘The Thursday Night Murder Club’ by Richard Osman I was put off that by the reading I heard on the radio, couldn't make out who was who. Pretty much since Covid arrived I’ve reading a huge amount, mostly books I already know, which tell a good story, not demanding. At the moment I’m rereading a series by Gemma Jackson, currently reading the Ivy Rose book 3, set in Dublin after the British left.

I read it a long time ago and loved it but it is a bit gruesome in places - probably more than the film.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - I've had the book some years and loved the film but guess the book might be a bit heavy going? I read it a long time ago and loved it but it is a bit gruesome in places - probably more than the film. A bit like A Clockwork Orange, then.

Yes I’ve read this all his books are a great read, no wonder people in Ireland turned away from the Church. A friend of mine was in a parish in 1950’s where they read out how much each family had donated, it’s difficult for us now to go back and imagine the power those people had.
