Reading - October 2015

Boiling A Frog by Christopher Brookmyre (2000)

Brookmyre skewers politicians (again). Comfort reading.

The Firm by John Grisham (1991)

More easy reading. A great story.

Quite Ugly One Morning by Christopher Brookmyre (1996)

Oddly, despite loving Brookmyre's books (well, not the dull police ones he's doing now), I haven't read his first one for a long time. Not sure why - it's easily up to the same standard as most of the others.

Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson (1990)

A minor classic, I would argue - so much more accessible than a legion of other books about the origin of English, yet equally informative. Ideally partnered with Made In America.

Rumpole a la Carte by John Mortimer (1995)

Jovial and jolly short stories. Great fun.
