Great news re the job Nikkinaz
:newjob:
Pronkertjie set me on my way reading John Grisham, the last one I read was The Innocent Man .. it was pretty shocking to read a story based on fact where a man was sent to death row and the corrupt and inadequate system that sent him there. It did provide me with doubts about the death sentence in the American system and now I understand where money buys you freedom and how often people who are of no value to the system can simply be executed even when innocent
After the Grisham book I read my first Henning Mankell book which is based in the area we live, Ystad and surrounds, so it makes for interesting reading when you recognise all the places he describes. Sidetracked was the first one I read and now the wifey got me Faceless Killers
she had also taken out from the library, The Best British Mysteries which I am ambling through not truly enjoying the style of the writers, plus A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle where I have enjoyed the start of it and then the book The Wrong Doyle by Robert Girardi which I haven't opened yet
Wifey has taken to reading books and I should ask her to start listing her reads
:thx:
