A self-help book?
Oh, are you a fellow Fortean, @Thunderfinger?
I haven t read his other books, but I aim to.
I've not read any of his books as yet but I do get The Fortean Times magazine every month and joined the forum a while ago. Not posted there very much yet, though. Have you ever read that magazine, @Thunderfinger?
Yes, some of the old original ones online. This book is much smarter and more interesting.
I see. Didn't know that you could read old back issues online. That is one of Charles Fort's most famous books. It's referenced in the magazine a lot.
A couple of chapters into this one.
Quite enjoyed that one. And Marlow is featured and I live here, so I found this quite amusing.
I'm reading Poison by Ed McBain at the moment. He always delivers.
It's definitely worth the read, @Agent_99! If you've read any Jack Reacher novels, you know what to expect, but that doesn't keep it from being an entertaining read. I believe the first series of the upcoming Jack Reacher TV series will be based on this novel.
I did too! Never been to the UK and Marlow, but it looks like a nice place going by photos I've seen online.

Flashback to doing my degree!
I am going to pass my degree, and party like it s @Agent_99 .
Halfway into John Le Carré's A Murder of Quality. A whodunnit rather than a spy thriller, it's an enjoyable read so far.

It's a lovely town. Just finished Poison by Ed McBain and I'm reading Five Children and It by Edith Nesbit.
Great read.
I must try and visit it at some point!

Currently reading Funeral in Berlin, the third novel by Len Deighton.
Excellent book, I studied The Sign of Four at both A Level and Degree (English Lit)
Love E Nesbit - she wrote children as real children, not perfect little angels, which was rare in her time. (She sends up Victorian children's literature where kids end up dying and going to heaven as a reward for their extreme goodness.)
Jacqueline Wilson has written a modern-day version called Four Children and It.
