You've seen the movie, watched the DVD... if you haven't read the books yet here is your chance.

Kevin McKidd took the part of Poseidon in the movie version of this book.

Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. And that's the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy's Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he's angered a few of them. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect.

Now Percy and his friends have just ten days to find and return Zeus's stolen property and bring peace to a warring Mount Olympus. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the true thief: he must come to terms with the father who abandoned him; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and unravel a treachery more powerful than the gods themselves.

Currently we still have not had any news with regards, if there is going to be  a movie version made of the second book in this series "Sea of Monsters" but we will keep you posted .  ;-)

Our choice of books are dictated by Kevin's Movie or TV choice and our latest one is "The Cone Gatherers" written by Robin Jenkins

Kevin : "am attached to a Scottish film script - called the cone gatherers - based on the famous Scottish novel - to play the game keeper"


 Calum and Neil are the Cone-Gatherers - two brothers at work in the forest of a large Scottish estate.  But the harmony of their life together is shadowed by the obsessive hatred of Duror, the gamekeeper.

Set during the Second World War, Robin Jenkins' greatest novel is an immensely powerful examination of good and evil, and mankind's propensity for both.  Removed from the destruction and bloodshed of the war, the brothers' oblivious happiness becomes increasingly fragile as darker forces close in around them.

Suspenseful, dark and unforgettable, The Cone-Gatherers is a towering work of fiction, a masterpiece of modern Scottish literature
