Rob Thompson is finished with Kidnapped (David Balfour, #1)
A classic, but the dialogue makes it a slog.

This is part of the Doc Savage Megapack. Entertaining, in a basic sort of way.

Rob Thompson is 40% done with Chapter and Verse: New Order, Joy Division and Me
Sumner is leaving huge gaps (three whole New Order albums for instance: Low Life, PC&L and Brotherhood). He skates over things a competent editor would have insisted he elaborate on. Not as good as Hooky's books.

Rob Thompson
Rob Thompson is 25% done with The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors
The Templars became corrupt, amassed wealth and became part of the establishment. There is a vacuum which has yet to be filled to defend the religion from not only outside threats but from corruption and evil eating it from within, which is in danger of destroying Christianity.

Reading a book is essentially staring at the tattooed remains of a tree and hallucinating for several hours.

Books are special because they are like someone talking to you without you having to make an effort to keep the conversation going on.

Chris Eubank has written a book about Ethics.

If it sells well, he's going to write a book about Kent as well.

How to read books:
1. Purchase book
2. Put book on shelf with other books that you don't have time to read because you keep buying books

I asked an assistant in my local book shop, "Do you have any cookery books, with advice on using Oxo?"

"No" replied the assistant, "We're out of stock."
