SimonM Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 >>Was this any good MP? Patricia Cornwell lost me some time ago, I liked the first three or four Scarpetta novels, but got irritated by the inane dialogue in the later ones. And as for that sodding niece of hers...<<I have got "Scarpetta" to read on holiday next month, but have to say I agree with you. I think I prefer both Kathy Reichs and Tessa Gerritsen out of that crowd, but of course our own Val McDermid really kicks ass!:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6528-what-is-east-dulwich-reading/page/2/#findComment-213019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamgatecrasher Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Scarpetta reads more like a bloody Italian cookbook. V. irritating. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6528-what-is-east-dulwich-reading/page/2/#findComment-213027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long way home excellent a really good overview of the Irish in the 1st world war and the conflict between this & rising Nationalism my view anyway.

mockney piers Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Currently the laugh a minute The White War - Life and Death on the Italian Front 1915-1919.Became interested a few years back in finding out more about the conflict after stumbling across many of the battlefields whilst walking in the Dolomites (in fact we can thank the war for sheer number of paths and routes cut through the dramatic terrai)n.But there was literally zilch in English. This is the first work to deal with it in any great depth outside of Italy or Austria.

immaterial Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius.Beautiful, poetical meditation on the fleeting nature of material possessions and institutional power, in comparison with the superiority of the intellectual realm.Just out in a new, apparently more accessible, translation. I initially baulked at the ?14. price tag (it's a slender hard-back of just 170 odd pages), but a comrade in the trade got me a copy for ?9 - still pricey, I thought - but you cannot truly put a price on this philosophical masterpiece!

bigbadwolf Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Winter in Madrid by C.J Sansom. Yes, it's another spy thriller but this time it's set in post civil war Spain. I've only just started it but I can feel it dragging me in.
