As I Was Saying - The World According to Clarkson
 
Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
 
As I Was Saying... is the seventh book in Jeremy Clarkson's best-selling The World According to Clarkson series.
 
Crikey, the world according to Clarkson's been a funny old place of late.
For a while, Jeremy could be found in his normal position as the tallest man on British television but, more recently, he appears to have been usurped by a pretend elephant.
But on paper the real Jeremy remains at the helm, that's as it should be, for nearly thirty years he has been fearlessly leading the charge as one the best comic writers in the country & in 2015, he shows no sign of slowing down.
So, whether it's pondering, if Jesus might have been better off being born in New Zealand.
Why reflexive pronoun abuse is the worst thing in the world.
How Pam Ayres's head trumps Gordon Gecko's underpants,
or what a television presenter with time on his hands gets up to
Jeremy is still trying to make sense of all the big stuff.
Circumstances change. Nothing's forever, but As I Was Saying provides glorious proof that Jeremy remains as funny, puzzled, excitable, outspoken, insightful and thought-provoking as ever.
As if you ever doubted it .

After the Crash: by Michel Bussi.

Traded in recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

Just after midnight on December 23, 1980, a night flight bound for Paris plummets toward the Swiss Alps, crashing into a snowy mountainside. 
Within seconds flames engulf the plane, which is filled with holiday travelers. 
Of the 169 passengers, all but one perish.

The sole survivor is a three month old girl thrown from the airliner before fire consumes the cabin. 
But two infants were on board. 
Is "the Miracle Child of Mont Terri" Lyse-Rose or Emilie? 
The families of both girls step forward to claim the child. 
Dogged by bad luck, the Vitrals live a simple life, selling snacks from a van on the beaches of northern France. 
In contrast, the de Carville's, who amassed a fortune in the oil business, are powerful and dangerous.

Eighteen years later, a private detective tasked with solving the mystery of the girl known as "Lylie" is on the verge of giving up. 
As he contemplates taking his own life, Crédule Grand-Duc suddenly discovers a secret hidden in plain view. 
Will he live to tell it?

Meanwhile, Lylie, now a beautiful university student, entrusts a secret notebook into the hands of Marc, the brooding young man who loves her, and then vanishes. 
After Marc reads the notebook's contents, he embarks on a frantic search for Lylie.

The Time to Kill by Mason Cross.
 
Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
 
It's been five years since Carter Blake parted ways with top-secret government operation Winterlong.
They brokered a deal at the time: he'd keep quiet about what they were doing, and in return he'd be left alone.
 
But news that one of Blake's old allies, a man who agreed the same deal, is dead means only one thing, something has changed and Winterlong is coming for him.
 
Emma Faraday, newly appointed head of the secret unit, is determined to tie up loose ends.
And Blake is a very loose end.
He's been avoiding them for years, but finally they've picked up his trace.
Blake may be the best there is at tracking down people who don't want to be found, but Winterlong taught him everything he knows.
If there's anyone who can find him and kill him, it's them.
 
It's time for Carter Blake to up his game.

Touch by Elmore Leonard.
 
Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
 
A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal.
Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill, who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic “touch.”
 
The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches.
But everyone who’s looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise because Juvenal’s got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming.

The Leader And The Damned by Colin Forbes.
 
Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.
 
Working from the premise that Hitler was murdered in 1943, and replaced by a look-a-like, this story reinterprets the events which took place from 1943 to 1945.
At the centre is Martin Bormann, and his plan to cover-up Hitler's death in an attempt to stop anti-Nazi generals seizing power.

Dorchester Terrace' by Anne Perry.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

1896 is a time for new beginnings after the events of the last title, BETRAYAL AT LISSON GROVE. 
Pitt is newly installed as permanent Head of Special Branch and is struggling to win the confidence of his men and (even more crucially) his opposite numbers in government, as well as having to face down his own concerns about whether he has the right temperament for the job.

His mentor and predecessor at Special Branch, Narraway, has been forcibly retired and elevated to the House of Lords, where he is chafing against the boredom and inactivity of this new role. Meanwhile over at the Foreign Office, Pitt's brother-in-law Jack Radley is also newly elevated and keen to do well in his blossoming career. 
There is even a new maid settling in at the Pitts' residence.

Pitt's first challenge comes when his men begin to suspect an assassination plot against an obscure Austrian Duke on a visit to England. 
Working without the comfortably verifiable facts and figures of regular police work, Pitt weaves rumours, uncorroborated identifications and leaps of deduction into a picture of an attempt to discredit Special Branch by murdering an innocent man in cold blood. 
When Lord Tregarron, Radley's chief at the Foreign Office, refuses to act without concrete evidence, Pitt turns to a new ally, Evan Blantyre, for advice about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Soon the even more frightening prospect of total war comes into view.

on Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

As this long quotation from Don Quixote makes clear, romantic books of chivalry are terrible. So author Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in 1605 to satirize the form. And he does it well, taking each negative about books of chivalry he lists and, through comedy and wordplay, turning it into a positive. The result is a long, epic novel in two parts that is about chivalry but anything but terrible. After all, “The benefit caused by the sanity of Don Quixote cannot be as great as the pleasure produced by his madness?”

While very over the top, Don Quixote is a wonderful reading experience. Don Quixote is a fantastic character, with a stubborn streak that lets him truly believe in his own inventions. He even manages to convince one other person, his squire Sancho Panza: “Sancho Panza is one of the most amusing squires who ever served a knight errant; at times his simpleness is so clever that deciding if he is simple or clever is a cause of no small pleasure.”

Sancho was my favorite character. He waxes and wanes between knowing his master is crazy and utterly believing in his inventions and adventures. Sancho is somewhat prone to malapropism, but not to the extent of, say, Mrs. Slipslop in Henry Fielding’s Joseph Andrews. His more extensive verbal tendency is using endless proverbs, some more apt than others in any given situation. Here’s an example of Sancho’s speech: “Because in a well-stocked house, supper is soon cooked; and if you cut the cards, you don’t deal; and the man who sounds the alarm is safe; and for giving and keeping, you need some sense.”

Sancho keeps things moving, adding humor to situations where Don Quixote’s ridiculousness might just seem sad. Above all, I loved the scenes where Sancho carried out his duties as ‘governor.’

I did feel that the novel could have been shorter – some of Don Quixote’s adventures are a bit repetitive. He basically attacks anyone and anything, demanding they admit his beloved Dulcinea is the most beautiful woman in the world – there are only so many ways to make this amusing. I also found the ending a bit of a let-down; it was clear that Cervantes just wanted to make certain no one else would ever write about Don Quixote. 
That said, this is a 400-year-old novel it’s literally exemplary.

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

Don't put your trust in revolutions. 
They always come round again. 
That's why they're called revolutions. 
People die, and nothing changes.'

For a policeman, there can be few things worse than a serial killer at loose in your city. 
Except, perhaps, a serial killer who targets coppers, and a city on the brink of bloody revolution. 
The people have found their voice at last, the flags and barricades are rising.
And the question for a policeman, an officer of the law, a defender of the peace, is:
Are you with them, or are you against them?

The Sicilian by Mario Puzo.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled.
Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work, a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. 
 The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. 
The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Giuliano back with him to America. 
But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas.
In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption and defied the Cosa Nostra. 
Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Giuliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.

House of the Rising Sun by James Lee Burke.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

James Lee Burke returns with his latest masterpiece, the story of a father and son separated by war and circumstance and whose encounter with the legendary Holy Grail will change their lives forever.

From its opening scene in revolutionary Mexico to the Battle of the Marne in 1918, and on to the bordellos and saloons of San Antonio during the reign of the Hole in the Wall Gang, House of the Rising Sun is an epic tale of love, loss, betrayal, vengeance and retribution that follows Texas Ranger Hackberry Holland on his journey to reunite with his estranged son, Ishmael, a captain in the United States Army.

After a violent encounter that leaves four Mexican soldiers dead, Hackberry escapes the country in possession of a stolen artifact, earning the ire of a bloodthirsty Austrian arms dealer who then places Hack’s son Ishmael squarely in the cross hairs of a plot to recapture his prize, believed to be the mythic cup of Christ.

Along the way, we meet three extraordinary women: Ruby Dansen, the Danish immigrant who is Ishmael’s mother and Hackberry’s one true love; Beatrice DeMolay, a brothel madam descended from the crusader knight who brought the shroud of Turin back from the Holy Land; and Maggie Bassett, one-time lover of the Sundance Kid, whose wiles rival those of Lady Macbeth. 
In her own way, each woman will aid Hackberry in his quest to reconcile with Ishmael, to vanquish their enemies, and to return the Grail to its rightful place.

House of the Rising Sun is James Lee Burke’s finest novel to date, and a thrilling entry into the Holland family saga that continued most recently with Wayfaring Stranger, which the A Book Review described as “saturated with the romance of the past while mournfully attuned to the unholy menace of the present.”

Crisis by Frank Gardner.

Traded in today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe, Pattaya.

Crouched behind the dashboard, half hidden by the surrounding bushes, he could see figures silhouetted on the same dirt track they had driven down only an hour ago. 
They were calling to each other, their torch beams probing the night. And then Fuentes heard something that early made his heart stop. The distant sound of a man screaming, in intense drawn out terror and pain.

Introducing Luke Carlton, ex-Special Boat Service commando, and now under contract to MI6 for some of its most dangerous missions.

Sent into the steaming Colombian Jungle to investigate the murder of a British intelligence officer, Luke finds himself caught up in the coils of a plot that has terrifying international dimensions.

Hunted down, captured, tortured and on the run from one of South America's most powerful and ruthless drugs cartels and its psychotic leader thirsting for revenge, Luke is in a life-or-death race against time to prevent a disaster on a truly terrifying scale: London is the target, the weapon is diabolical and the means of delivery is ingenious.

Drawing on his years of experience reporting on security matters, Crisis is Frank Gardner's debut novel. Combining insider knowledge, up-to-the-minute hardware, fly on the wall insights with heart-in-mouth excitement, Crisis boasts an irresistible, visceral frisson of authenticity: smart, fast-paced and furiously entertaining, here is a thriller for the 21st century.
