A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE LADY VANISHES -Ethel Lina White
On a train travelling across Europe a young English woman talks to an old lady in the restaurant car. Later when the girl goes in search of her companion, everyone in the compartment denies that the old lady existed. Was their meeting a figment of the young girl's imagination or was there some more sinister explanation?
This is a genuinely exciting little thriller with circumstances making our hero doubt her sanity as she struggles to find out what has happened.
This was originally titled "The Wheel Spins" but every edition since Hitchcock made the book into a movie in 1938 it has carried this title.
