Currently half way through Britain BC by francis Pryor. A most inbteresting state-of-the-art(for laypersons) archaeology book, covering both British and Irish prehistory. Always a fascinating subject, and it changes bewildering every ten years as archaeology answers more and more questions, and asks even more new ones. Indispesable reading for anyone who like shooting off their mouth about celts, island cultures, national identities or anyone of a number of topis beloved of Mudcatters.
    Also just finished the Da Vivci Code, a rivetting, and unputdownable read: and the most unimitagted bit of badly written, badly researched drivelling crap I have ever read. But amazingly entertaining.
