Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton PhD

Understandable and credible explanations as to how the cells of our bodies function, and challenges Darwinian theory, and gives rises to the realisation that the environment, and not our genes, controls body health.
Also - it details the role of the subconcious mind and how placebos work.

I found this free ebook here-
The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton PhD (228 Pages)

I had already watched a two video lecture -

Blinkvid - Bruce Lipton - As Above So Below An Introduction To Fractal Evoloution

MaYoMo – As Above So Below, An Introduction To Fractal Evolution 2

The book repeated much of what was in the lectures, but added important extras.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

Since last posting here have read "Once a warrior king" Dave Donovan tells how the American M.A.T. teams (Mobile advisory teams) usually a group of 5/6 Infantrymen who lived, worked & formed friendships in the villages & hamlets of the Vietnamese people & helped them protect & defend their crops,homes & people from the VC. Like an armed neighbourhood watch really.

And have now restarted to read "The death gate cycle" totalling 7 books in a fantasy series involving wizards, dragons, elves etc by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman who have collaborated on a great many projects including the "Dragonlance" franchise.

His gay associates, Angel and Louie are brilliantly characterised as both have plenty of skeletons in their own cupboards, hence their extraordinary ties with Parker.

Peter James 'Roy Grace' detective novels set in the south-east of England have been recommended to me. Have picked up a couple which I have put on hold for the time being.

Have just finished the latest (6th) in Peter James's 'Detective Superintendent Roy Grace' series, a crime series set in and around Brighton. The series follow on from one another in time and provide a gripping, addictive series of believable incidents and characters (with all their flaws) that I can recommend to any thriller buff. Peter James also writes stand alone horrow novels of which I have sampled a couple and enjoyed. Not late night reading for the faint hearted, though. I have just lent one to my sister which she says scared the sh*t out of her - if you'll pardon my French!

I too only like non fiction. Prescription for Murder is excellent, about Harold Shipman and how people were suspicious long before his horrors came to light.

Sounds like Sandy wasn't all she seemed! Makes for interesting reading. It makes it more interesting for me as I know the area in which the novels are set very well, having spent lots of time with friends and family there in my youth. Just finished his stand alone novel, Alchemist, which I found hard to put down.

A reprint of the 1993 biography of Fred Dibnah by one of the people he worked with closely in his TV career. It covers much of the same ground as Fred by David Hall and in a much shorter time but I'm finding it gripping reading, a testament to days gone by when people had to really work for a living and took real pride in their jobs.

I have just read 'No! I Don't Want to Join a Bookclub' by Virgina Ironside. Doyenne of Fleet Street and Agony Aunt extraordinaire.

A diary of growing old disgracefully.

Which leads me into a plug for the Civic Arts Centre, Oswaldtwistle.

Virginia will be performing her one woman show .. The Virginia Monologues .... on Sunday, 13th March at 7.30 p.m. Directed by Nigel Planer.

If you are over 60 (any age actually), this outlook on a woman ageing is not to be missed .. extremely perseptive and hilarious:

"

When an agony aunt reaches sixty,
she can lie like a trooper, jump off a
bridge – or take to the stage.
Virginia Ironside explains that
unlimited free drugs, fun funerals,
grandchildren and sex – or, even
better, no sex – make the sixties the
best – and funniest - time of your life…"

"The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British", Sarah Lyall. Bloody hilarious. Warning: for expats, particularly in North America, only.

Read all McBride's books to date. Gritty stuff laced with suffient humour to captive the reader - particularly the antics of the lesbian DI who gives Logan the runaround whilst at the same time protecting his interests. Not for the prudes.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

Just finished Tess Gerritson's 'Gravity' a brilliant techno thriller with enough twists and turns within the plot to hold you spellbound right up to the last page. Also 'Harvest' by the same author centred around the illegal harvesting of organs for transplanting into paying patients. Again a brilliantly contrived plot from start to finish. Can't praise Gerritson's stylish prose enough and have just started to read her 'Bone Garden' which again grabs you from the opening paragraph.

Alan Sugar: What You See Is What You Get

Easily the best autobiography I have ever read and I've gone through hundreds. I've never watched The Apprentice as it doesn't appeal to me and from what I've seen of Lord Sugar on television I can't say that I'd be that impressed even now but the book is written in a very frank way and a cracking read. Highly recommended.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

Would you believe this, but I'm actually reading - for at least the tenth time,- " Great Expectations" by Dickens.
Don't know why, but when I was at school, we HAD to read it, then it became a personal choice, but now every time I read it, I find something, perhaps a word or a sentence that I hadn't considered before. I love it. Makes me feel optimistic!!
