The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe. Recommend this one, does it always seem to have been better in the era before the one we are in?
It would have been amazing to have been in aviation when they were still making it up as they went along.
How cool was Chuck Yeager?

All These Years - Tune In, by Mark Lewisohn. A (comprehensive) history of the Beatles up until 1962.
Fascinating, slightly irritating and in need of a better editor, but well worth reading for anyone interested in the band. Amazing to see how often it could have all fizzled out, a real Swiss Cheese tale, but in reverse, if you see what I mean.
But dead annoyed to find out the 2nd part isn't finished yet, he's only had 8 years to write it! I'll be retired by the time he completes it

Just finished Mark “Billy” Billingham, The hard way. Good read and what an interesting life different to most SAS/SBS books I’ve read as not a lot about his time in but more about his life outside.
Listening to Eddie Jones autobiography at the mo and reading Spymaster by Martin Pearce, I must stress not at the same time...

Been reading Clive Clusser, gone through 3 of the latest Oregan series and 2 of the latest Isaac Bell series. Got another of each to read yet.
Wondering if we’ll be out of lockdown before the new Jack Reacher book is launched in October, so I’ll have time to sit and read it.

Ian Rankin, Black and Blue.
I know a few on here enjoy the audiobooks, but what about podcasts?
If you enjoy reading true crime, I’d recommend Shreds.

SHREDS: SHOCKING STORY OF ONE OF THE UK’S MOST NOTORIOUS MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE REVEALED IN NEW PODCAST SERIES - Cardiff Times
In the early hours of the 14th of February 1988 a young woman is murdered in an unlit, empty flat above a betting shop at number 7 James Street in Cardiff’s docklands. Any murder is shocking but this one… particularly unsettling. Twenty-year-old Lynette White had been subjected to a vicious and...

Arrived from Amazon just a few minutes ago so only read the blurb so far - but its scathing!

A big +1 for Vulcan 607, what an amazing story/historical account. I also enjoyed Chris Ryan's The One That Got Away, another amazing true story...
I've been listening to the Jack Reacher series as audiobooks. Currently about to start book 5 and I'm enjoying the series so far. It always makes me smile to think that in the book Jack is 6ft 5in and in the film he is played by Tom Cruise!
Just read the latest Jack Reacher, Blue Moon. Real page turner as always.
Bit concerned that Lee Child is co-writing the next one though - The Sentinel - with his brother Andrew. May be the beginning of the end....
Also just finished Peter James’ second book The Secret of Cold Hill. Good old fashioned ghost story, very much in the same genre as James Herbert used to write back in the day (maybe showing my age there!).

Recent reading was Black Rain by Jacob Ross, small island Carribean police detective thriller, bit like an harder version of Death in Paradise and really makes you want to explore the area... or sit in the hotel complex and assume the barman is probably a full on Yardie gangster.
