Romey 1878 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Before that I read John Connolly - The Reapers. Not as good as his other books that I've read but still decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Im reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Its good but not as good as some of his other books, noteably No Country For Old Men and The Road. The Road is simply fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 My last book was "Dear Me" by Peter Ustinov!......Pretty old book, never the less an excellent read, by an incredible man! Just a small snippet from the book!.......For anyone who likes second world war history etc. You have probably all seen black and white film of the liberation of Belsen concentration camp! Not very plesent granted.Something you wont see on those film images......because the cencors removed it is described by Ustinov, who was attached to the film making unit that recorded the event. Now usually when a surrender is offered by a defeated enermy, protocol is followed no matter how you feel towards your adversary! Ustinov writes! "There was a formal surrender of Field-Marshal Milch (camp comander) to a youthful British general, in which the field-marshal, true to protocol, saluted by bringing his baton up to his cap, and then formally handed it over.The British general took the baton, weighed it for a moment, and smacked it down hard on the field-marshal's head, sending him down for the count." Brilliant!.........The censors, realized the embarrassing consequences of such an act, and a fantastic bit of slap-stick was lost forever.............SLAP STICK!!!......Pun not intended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Derran Browns book "Trick of the mind" Are you sure that you don't just think you're reading it? I've heard that it's full of subliminal messages designed to turn eveyone who reads it into a homosexual....having read it I don't believe a word (but my boyfriend swears it's true ).

jamiemaher85 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I read one of his books, The Woods, while travelling last year. Thought it was quite good, very easy to read. His style of writing is very similar to Dan Brown, so is very easy to digest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiemaher85 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thats dedication! Which is you're favourite. I did want to read another but wasn't sure where to go next, and what did you think of The Woods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did want to read another but wasn't sure where to go next, and what did you think of The Woods? I don't have a favourite one but all of his Myron Bolitar books are good. His stand alone books are just as good though. I thought The Woods was very good, Loren Muse and Paul Copeland are in that Hold Tight that I've just read, you should definitely read that one and try some of the Bolitar books.

aaron Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 i want to read Jurrasic park. Its meant to be really good, and a hell of alot different than the movie, alot more people die and other things are different. But for my holiday i have ross kemp - gangs ready for a good read.

jamiemaher85 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 ^^^ If you want a good holiday read then you should get the new Danny Wallace book, Friends Like These. Verry good, not as laugh out loud funny as Join Me or Yes Man but still a very good read if you like his previous work. Also, if you want to read a book that has been adapted into a film you should read Mario Puzo's The Godfather, i prefer it to the film, which I think shows how good the book is because the film is fantastic.

DonKey Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Really enjoying a lot of Robert Ludlum books at the minute. Read a few of them before my Mrs bought me the Bourne stuff. Reading Bourne Legacy, which is written by Robert van Lustbader. Not bad but not as good as the Ludlum stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
