The Book Of Books: The Radical Impact Of The King James Bible 1611-2011, by Melvyn Bragg, Hodder & Stoughton, £8.99 Melvyn Bragg may not be orthodoxly religious, but I suspect his book about the King James Bible was the one he always wanted to write – whether he knew it or not.

Bernhard Schlink – The Weekend (Phoenix, £7.99) **** A run-down, secluded house set in the German countryside is the location for the reunion of a group of friends and their comrade Jorg, who has just been released after 24 years in prison for terrorism. The comrades have all moved on from their questionable political activities and ideals but need to interrogate Jorg and find answers to vindicate their own actions all those years ago. Based on the Baader-Meinhof terrorists, the story is full of the imagery of that era and explores how ideals alter with time, very thought provoking!
