Re: Beagles Book Club

Well that's not quite the response I expected

I never saw MissFM's original post, but looking back I can see how my post does look a bit like an advert.
I did umm and aah over posting the Amazon link at first, but then I'd only be saying "you can get a free sample over at a very popular online book shop that sounds like a rainforest" so I might as well include a direct link.

But lets draw a line under it all and get the thread back on topic, so to that end:



Recommending a non-fiction book that the more legal types on this forum might find of interest.

The Juryman's Tale by Trevor Grove.

Written by a journalist who sat on the jury of a very long kidnapping case in the 90's, it has some good personal analysis of the case and juries themselves, arguing the good and bad points.
It was recommended on twitter by the lawyer who represented the guy in the successful Airport twitter joke appeal, in response to all the news of the first Pryce/Huhne hung jury and the 'silly' questions they asked.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you are interested in courts, juries and so on you might like it.

Re: Beagles Book Club

Has anyone mentioned Game of Thrones by George RR Martin.

Now THAT is a story! Absolutely fascinating and beautifully written. Ignore the TV version (which is good, the books are amazing)

I think there are maybe 7 in the whole series. I've done the first 5 and I'm waiting for the brilliant Mr Martin to finish the last two now.

I reckon this series will be featuring in future Top 100 lists.....it's that good

My mum has read all the Dan Browns available and she loved them, but she is retired. I just haven't got the time.
