Books on Holiday

For me it's holiday time. That's time to catch up with all the home repairs, do some photography, enjoy the outdoors and of course try to read a few books. I have 4 on the go right now. Yeah I know...overkill. Whats new?
So here are the books.
- Richard Branson, Business Stripped Bare. (An excellent and inspirational read)
- Linwood Barclay, Fear the Worst. (A great thriller, easy read. Like J Patterson but more believable)
- Karren Warren, Rolling Stones. (Not the rock group. Its all about the formation of the worlds largest boulder bank right here in NZ)
- Frank Hampson, Dan Dare-Pilot of the future. (Seriously!)
When I was a small kid in the early to late 50's I loved this comic. It was futuristic, about space and aliens and the hero Dan Dare. You can imagine what a shock I got to find a reprinted set of the comics in a hard cover book. They were selections from the exact period I recall. So its been a fun read. OMG some of the stuff is so corny its unbelieveble. They were made in the UK so that too brings a differerent element especially with their speech and sayings. Anyway it turns out that I am not the only old guy who remembers these stories. Hence the book and several others like it. This will stay in my library for the grandkids to laugh about in years to come.
