Who thinks Trump should read these, as there's more to life than a fat roll of money in your pocket.

The Silent Patient, by Alex Michaelides

 

No Sunscreen For The Dead by Tim Dorsey -----------and Blue Moon by Lee Child--A Jack Reacher novel.

I recommend both authors. ( Tim Dorsey: bet you never thought you'd enjoy tales of a serial killer! Think again!)

 

The Philosophy Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained

I've been wanting to learn about philosophy for a while and it seemed like this was a good book to get an overview of some of the more well known philosophers. It's decent. I'll read more about some individual philosophers next... maybe Carl Jung.

 

I finally read 'Who Goes There' by John W. Campbell

It was the Novella which inspired the movies The Thing 1951, The Thing 1982 directed by John Carpenter,
and that lousy remake of The Thing in 2011 starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

The Novella was decent, more so it gave me a better perspective on the changes which took place in the movies

 

Currently rereading The Two Towers. Something new in this series everytime I read it, but I know it's me changing with age, not the books.

 

How the World Thinks
A global history of philosophy by Julian Baggini

 

Beyond Enkription by Bill Fairclough. It's the first stand-alone novel in The Burlington Files series based on the life of Fairclough, aka Edward Burlington, who in real life was an agent for MI6 and the CIA. Beyond Enkription (intentionally misspelt) is set in London, Nassau and Port au Prince in the seventies. Edward Burlington infiltrates a global organised crime syndicate while unwittingly working for MI6. The protagonist has been likened to a “posh Harry Palmer”. It's a great read and you can check it out as you read it with contemporary press cuttings if you search hard enough for them.
