Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?

[AccyLass28]

Can't get into Stephen Kings writing at all!
Takes miles too long in explanation and to get to the point of something

Love James Patterson, have read loads of them, still got loads to go tho
Torey Hayden is ace! If ya can stomach that kind of thing
About A Boy and all them are great

Have not long finished both Jordan and Peter's AutoBiographies, they were good

At the minute I'm enjoying Dan Brown, Angels And Demons, I read Digital Fortress in a day

So far would say its quite close, although the book is more indepth than the film and it gives the old imagination chance to work

Mr King at his best me thinks, no doubt the film cut out a lot of King type woffle which tends to drag the plot out

Very funny.

I read it over 30 years ago, it was the first book by Spike I ever read and it was hilarious.

I love his wartime memoirs but there's that touch of the "dark" side of him there, as well as the humour. Norma Farnes' book shows him as a very complex, often difficult man, a genius with dreadful mental problems but you can tell she loved him to bits.

Brilliant definately my favourite author!

One of the few fiction writers I read (I prefer biography and history), I adore Terry Pratchett. I think there are just 3 Discworld books I haven't got (the 3 latest). The last one I read was The Last Hero and I can't decide who I'm most a fan of - Cohen the Barbarian (who I see as an aged Kirk Douglas) or Leonard da Quirm.

I have never read any of those because I thought he was that comedy writer that was popular about 20 years ago, mainly read by men. Is it the same man?
Sorry to be so vague, im hoping this rings some bells and somebody will come up with the name of the writer I mean if its not Terry Pratchett.
