Neil  | 22 comments Hi I'm Neil I am from Dublin, after a few years reading sporadically I've began to fall in love with reading again, currently reading HHhH by Laurent Binet and I'm loving it so far, I'm also reading reading Stones Fall by Iain Pears, its a little slow but his books are always very rewarding and satisfying. I usually read biographies and military history but I've a pile of novels I want to read (xmas presents) and I'm enjoying my renewed enthusiasm for reading

Hello Neil. I lenjoy biographies too, my next one is Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K. Massie which I hope to start in February. Andrew Graham-Dixon's Caravaggio: A Life Sacred and Profane is on your TBR and I will be interested to hear your opinion on it. Welcome.

Paul Welcome to the grouo Neil . Dublin is shockingly underrepresented here so the more the merrier ☺

Allan Hi Neil-HHhH is a book that I read and loved in 2013. It's so evocative of Prague, a city that I love. I've nominated the book a couple of times for our monthly read, so far without success unfortunately. Maybe it's time to give it another rattle...

I'm almost done with HHhH, it is a page turner, I almost finished it one sitting and that rarely happens for me, thanks again everyone for the welcome

Welcome Neil. I had to look up HHhH thinking you and Allan were abbreviating a longer title. Haven't run across this book and look forward to your review/rating.

I posted a short review although I'm not very good at that sort of thing, thanks
