Sir, I just finished 'The Grinch' - you are really going to like it - there is a great twist at the end!

Ok tell me. Are you being punished or what? Did you piss off your mother or father or something like that? Did you offend God or what?

Might I recommend Cryptonomicon, followed by the trilogy 'The Baroque Cycle' comprising Quicksilver, Confusion and the System Of The World, all by Neal Stephenson. That should keep you busy for a while.

I'm in the middle of "Blind Man's Bluff - The untold story of American submarine espionage" by Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew

Another good read, where you will recognize many of the names mentioned and/or quoted.

I've got nothing new to read so I've started again on
Shackleton's Boat Journey by Frank Arthur Worsley
and
The Man Who Broke Napoleon's Codes: The Story of George Scovell by Mark Urban.
Next, A Near Run Thing by David Howarth which I started last year and then lost and re-found last month but thought I'd redo George Scovell first to get back in the mood.

Just finished A Bridge Too Far by Cornelius Ryan and I'm starting JOhn Grisham's The Broker.

That should hold me over until Christmas when I have about 5 books coming.

What an EXCELLENT book! I was riveted from front cover to back; it was a page-turner.
