Default What book you reading at the moment?

just taken delivery of "Call of the wild" by Guy Grieve-his experience of quitting the rat race and living in the wilderness in rural Alaska for a year.
I missed it when sky ran a documentary on him so jumped at the chance of getting his book.One for the outdoor type.

Diamonds Are Forever by Ian Fleming.

So far, apart from smoking 60 fags a day, James Bond is also permanently out of his nut on the bevvy! How he'll ever find time to sort out the baddies I don't know. Great stuff.
