Jaap's Sigh Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 One Soldiers War in Chechnya by Arkady Babchenko. Just finished it recently and it was a good read. About a young Russian soldier fighting in Chechnya and the horrors he experienced. There's not too much out there on this topic and it was interesting to read that some of his worst experiences came from his own troops! A good, well written piece.

leginten Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The Discovery of Heaven by Harry Mulisch Set in Holland (taking in Auschwitz and Cuba along the way), it's the study of two brilliant men who meet in the '60s and discover that their fate is linked by numerous, supposedly serendipitous, events. Actually the Gods have taken a hand in an attempt to engineer the birth of a remarkable child, which the two friends manage with the aid of a woman with whom they're both involved. Bits of philosophy, religion, politics, history and architecture thrown in, and I've no idea where it's going after 500 pages. Brilliant and more than slightly barmy.

Bordeaux 03 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ian Rankin's Exit Music, one of his best i think, getting confused with all the Russian's but he has characterised Rebus superbly. Before that was reading Contact Zero by David Wolstencroft who i think could be a fellow Jambo. Only his second novel but like his first it was superb.

brownkg Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Foul! The secret world of FIFA: Bribes, vote rigging and ticket scandals by Andrew Jennings. If anyone ever claims football is not corrupt they should be pointed in the direction of this book. you should also read "how they stole the game" by David Yallop which pretty much covers the same ground. Now that my hand s are working agian I am reading the latest Brookmyre and the Reavers by George Macdonald Fraser who sadly passed on this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
