Casualty care in mountain rescue by John Ellerton. I've an exam looming
I tend you read the same books over and over again in a loop. I've just finished reading Persian Fire again.
At the risk of sounding pretentious (moi?!) James Joyce's 'Dubliners' - book group choice, hadn't read it for 30+ years - very good (just don't get it confused with Ulysses!)
I've got a copy of Ulysses bought whilst a student. Never got past the first chapter. Mind you, it was only after I had left it a few years that I was able to complete Crime & Punishment. Might be time to go back and give JJ another try?

I'm a big fan of Christopher Brookmyre and Mark Billingham.

Paddy goes for a job on a building site and the foreman asks him: "do you know the difference between a joist and a girder?" To which Paddy replies: " to be sure, Girder wrote Faust and Joist wrote Ulysses."
Tao begets one. One begets two. Two begets all things.
Being the person that has always pretended to be an intellectual, I read Ulysses and I still have it. Should read it again some day, as I have more or less forgotten how bloody hard it was to wrestle my way through it... but somehow, I always seem to have better things to do in bed these days...
I did enjoy Crime and Punishment...

But, back on topic, just finished reading the Flying Scotsman, the book about Gaeme Obree, which was an interesting read, as I have just started track cycling and will doing some testing as well this summer... but nowt special.
What I am re-reading right now is Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet... a brilliant book to have at hand to dip into in times of need...
