The series is currently continuing with Richards's son 'Adam Bolitho' and I consider these books equal, if not superior to anything written by CS Forester or Patrick O Brien.

:thankya:

Love the Bolitho novels .... the kind of books you can read over and over, like Asimov's Foundation trilogy, but O Brien has to be the best of the three .... but that's only my humble colonial opinion;)

Just finished Dan Brown's Angels and demons. Also reading numerous theories of teaching and learning, teaching, ICT and pedagogy books. My head hurts, roll on Christmas when I finish my foundation degree.

I'd never heard that word before, I've just googled it now.

The art of being a teacher....styles of instruction.

That sounds very interesting.

Good luck with your degree. :D

Thank you. I know what you mean about the word pedagogy, I didn't know what it meant before I started this degree. Mind you different tutors pronounce it differently.

Another good series currently into it's 3rd book is the Hawkwood Series by James McGee concerning the expoits of a Bow Street Runner. Titles are: Ratcatcher, Resurrectionist and Rapscallion. Good boys own stuff again with fictional characters woven into true events.

Nobody reading any more? Recommend Simon Scarrow's series concerning the adventures of commencing with 'Under the Eagle' two Roman Legionaries and now into it's 8th sequel. Again fictional characters woven into actual campaigns which are h exciting and amusing at the same time.

Happy reading.

I've just finished reading Dracula (another in my attempts to read some classics) and have just started Catcher in the Rye. It's nothing like I expected, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Lol, I had to read that really quickly, as someone asked for it as a present from me.

So it was a speedy read, and one where I had to remember not to turn down the corners of the pages, or sneeze on it.:D

Hee hee, I've done that.

Trying to read the book without opening it properly so you won't crease the spine and the person you'll be giving it to will be able to tell you've read it!

It's not easy, is it? :D
