What book are you reading at the moment?

I'm currently reading Hack by Graham Johnson.

He was a former reporter at the News of the World (that got closed down in 2011 due to phone-hacking) and he worked there in the 90s and it's a great read as you get to see how much of the tabloid world then (and maybe now) was down to making absolute shit up and destroying lives. Especially so at the NOTW.

I've got Sir Alex Ferguson's book delivered today, but will finish off Hack before opening that one up.

I started reading about 6 years ago and wish I'd read before that on a regular basis.

My other book that I enjoyed, with a more American flavour was Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's book on bringing down Nixon. Absolutely amazing how the little details were discovered slowly before they got to the big one.

I just started Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov, the second book of the Foundation trilogy. Really enjoyed the first book so I figured I'd keep on in the series.

Unfortunately, no fiction at the moment, but I will definitely get stuck into Stephen King's IT over the summer break.

Aoife just finished that series recently actually, she quite liked them.

I've been studying recently, so I haven't been reading any novels. But once I do, the other half has convinced me to try some of the Jane Austen novels. Also right before I started on the study, I had started on re-reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
