What book are you reading right now?

I thought I'd revive this classic old thread as I couldn't find the original.

I am currently reading Suetonius, 'The Twelve Caesars'.

How about you?

I read Shadowplayers whilst on holiday and loved it. Have you read Peter Hook's 2 volumes of autobiography?

Another book from my "library" that I've had for years and never got round to reading...

Recommended by a friend. I had the impression that it was a nonfiction book but when picked from the library I realized my mistake.

A stocking filler paperback. Absolutely hilarious - makes me wish I'd have been around for the hard-living/hard-drinking glory days of Fleet Street:

Absolutely fascinating. It just about confirms everything you expected and leaves you wondering what on earth goes on that can't be disclosed.

Noogle,

Hastings books are always an intellectual treat. I had the pleasure to hear him speak in Chicago last year. How is the Catastrophe?

Packed full of interesting detail that has really brought the period to life. I still have 527 pages to go!
