Liberated from bookshelves in Blighty

Whether Our Man will ever get a chance to read any of them is another matter, still, he likes the pretty colours.

Flashman! NICE! Over 100 years old, yet strangely relevant today...Superfreakonomics sucks. Rehash.

Our Man in Abiko said...

Never read the first Freakyergonomics hash, so enjoying it-ish.

But shurely shome mishtake, Flashman is a hero of our times? But yes, loving it, very moving account of Colonists at their best in Afghanistan.

Speaking of which, any chance of a little adult refreshment in the greater Abilko vicinity?

The Larsson is addictive if you can get through the first 2 chapters. i finished the trilogy in a week

Our Man in Abiko said...

Wow, WW. Didn't realise that Larsson was dead and it was his first novel and he was an ex-journo too. Don't have time to get engrossed in it now, enjoying Flashman too much. But will put it in the in file, thanks.

Sorry, I meant the setting. Gotta borrow that some time!
