Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I've read them countless times. Absolutely fantastic!!!!

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Just about finished "Basingstoke Boy", autobiography of John Arlott. Quite good but its written in the 3rd person, which i'm not too fond of!

Jeffery Deaver..the vanished man.. Lincoln Rhymes..criminologist

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Oh I love reading
I have a few 'on the go' all the time
At the moment, they range from
'The Zombie survival guide' Max Brooks, which is hilarious
'Hindsighted' by Karin Slaughter, serial killer thrill and gore
'The power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle which has had huge impact
'Expect a miracle', Kathy Freston
'How to kill your husband (and other handy household hints)' by Kathy Lette which is funny
and then a load of papers and articles about detrusor instability and irritable bladder..er... hohum... hahaha

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

for those who like road to nab end i can recommend 2 good books of the same kind Cracks on the ceiling and broken biscuit

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I have just finished reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Philippa Gregory and prior to that i read a couple of other books by the same author....'Wideacre' and 'Meridon'.
I can heartily recommend these books to readers who like historical fiction.Although don't be put off by that categorisation, they were both books full of action and passion.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I've just finished reading Haunted by Kelly Armstrong... am now reading
another Richard Laymon's The Cellar... both are great books:)

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Checked out a new novel by Saul David who is acclaimed for writing history books. His first venture into novel writing is Zulu Hart and I can thoroughly recommend it to lovers of action narratives. The action is based on true events surrounding the British campaign against the Zulu nation, culminating at Rorkes Drift in January 1879 (which features in the film Zulu). A real page turner which I can heartily recommend.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

My beloved has just bought me Wilbur Smith's Assegai which I have out to one side until I finish reading Simon Scarrow's Fire & Sword (the third book in his Bonaparte/Wellington quartet) which are extremely informative if a little hard going at times. My trouble is, if I start a book, I just have to stick with it - so Wilbur will have to wait a little longer.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Well i am still reading "Road to Nab end & Beyond nab end"
But was on Accy market on Thursday and got a book called "The Real Cruel Sea"
its about the battle of the Atlantic through the eyes of a merchant seaman
i have already read about this from a submarine point of view and the royal navy so thought this would be a good follow on

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Right i have finished this book so if anyone would like to borrow it please pm me.
i am now reading "The true cruel sea" its a true story about the Battle of the Atlantic through the eyes of the merchant navy seamen.:)

I'm making my way through the work of Chuck Palahniuk. I love his sense of humour.
I find it wicked without being grotesque for the sake of it, which haunts some novels that aim for the same effect.

Reading his novel Choke at the moment.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Have finished Assegai, and although a rollicking good read, I considered it to have rather a disppointing ending for a Wilbur Smith novel. Smith's yarns usually finish with a good old blood and guts finale, but the ending of Assegai, for me, was rather a damp squib.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

For advocates of Sharon Penman and Philippa Gregory, I have just embarked on a resissued first novel by Elizabeth Chadwick entitled 'The Wild Hunt'. I'm half way through it and can heartily recommend this writer of historical fiction for anyone interested in the genre. Happy reading.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Have finished Elizabeth Chadwick's 'The Wild Hunt' which is a brilliant read, with a proper beginning, middle and ending. Am currently into her 'Conquest' which again, after only five chapters, I can heartily recommend to fans of historical sagas. I readily identify with Chadwick's style of writing which is accurately researched, correctly located and filled with colourful characters.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I'm still reading 100 Years of Solitude, which feels like it's taking 100 years to get through. I've read a few 'classics' recently, but honestly can't see what all the fuss is with this title.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

"Mission Song" ... John Le Care .... and when I finish it tomorrow, I will have read all of his novels.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Do you reccomend it ? last few books seem to have " lost the plot " the early stuff 'smileys people, tinker tailor soldier spy' etc were real page turners , think the last I read was 'the Constant Gardener'.

as a thread wander, in my opinion , as is the usual case for any decent book* , all his books which have been made into movies have with the exception of the BBC productions (Alec Guiness as George Smiley) have been total cow dung :D

* possible exception, Harry Potter , never read the books , but enjoyed the movies on DVD

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I don't know if I give it a ringing endorsement (excuse the cliche) ... but it is worth a read ... I picked up my copy at Chapters for under five bucks; and I got my money's worth.

A great book ... I like "Brighton Rock", but "Travels With My Aunt" is my favorite.

Am now into my 10th novel by Elizabeth Chadwick (Shields of Pride) and still have 5 to go. They are really remarkable books which gallop along at a rollicking pace. Anyone with a passing interest in William Marshall should read; A Place Beyond Courage, The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion. Brilliant.

Just finished The Atlantis Code by Charles Brokaw, I'd never heard of the bloke before I got this book, but its real page turner, well worth a read, if you like interwoven plots between paid mercenaries, a investigative journalist, a linguistic professor and the Catholic Church, all after the lost city of Atlantis

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

If you are intrigued by Atlantis, I recommend

lynx have you not read the first odd thomas book?? If not put that down now and start at the first book!!!!!!!!

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my fave novels of all time are the tower series :D actually i hear that jj abrams has the rights now to do the film version

how many did you read of the series before you decided that?? just curious

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Watchers was the first one of Koontz books I ever read 20 years ago, have you noticed Restless how his style has changed over the years to more subtle horror rather than the out and out scary stuff, The Odd Thomas series was very good, have ordered Relentless, I actually collect his books, think I'm only missing one which is Funhouse

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

im not a collector myself. Actually I dont read much in the sense of sitting with a good book. I type for a living and to pass the day i listen to audiobooks and i have gone through a lot of dean's books that way. I have noticed that he seems to have relaxed a lot. I noticed a few early books have a government agaisnt us kinda feel to them. What i really like about dean is that he is always trying to teach us humility and the more he writes the more he seems to be putting that accross and even more so with the odd thomas books... I didnt like darkest evening of the year but thats the thing with dean he loves his dogs a lot

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Ya in his early books like Watcher and Lightening it was based on monsters but has he's moved on he has gone more on the more human issues and thing that are not as fare fetched as his earlier works. He actually wrote a few books under another name, just for got what name he used but one of the books was Door to December, which he later released under Dean Koontz, round abut the same time he dropped the "R" out of his title, Watchers was Dean R. Koontz

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

yeah. I read door to decemember last year. Its quite disturbing first half of the book.Dean has had a few pen names. I dunno if all of them has come out

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

He only uses Dean Koontz now Restless, and has done for a while now, over 15 years, that's when he re-released old titles under Dean Koontz, think he has over 50 title to his name now.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

It seems my last post was a little previous really, Koontz uses no fewer than 9 or maybe 10 pen names, he has written in the name of a woman Deanna Dwyer, other names include Brian Coffey, David Axton, John Hill, K. R. Dwyer, Leigh Nichols ( originally wrote Door to December under that name) Leanard Chris, Owen West and Richard Paige, all though I certainly haven't seen anything under Leigh Nichols for years now.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

i think most of his pen name books have been rereleased under dean koontz. The revision of demon seed was great. I read on a site somewhere that he stil writes under a pen name but its ultra secret and i dont know if its true not been able to find any more info out about it

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I actually found a site last night (Dean Koontz Books and Information)which tells you all his pen names and which books he has written under which names and if he has released them under Koontz, there are quite a few that haven't, although everything under Leigh Nichols has been released, Twilight was renamed Servants of Twilight

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

I have read most of King's and a lot of Koontz, but have lost the taste for it.
I actually got King's 'Lisey's Story' for a xmas pressie 2 years ago and have never finished it.

I don't enjoy being horrified any more - must be because there is too much real horror going on.

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

Koontz has changed so much to what he was Margaret, he writes more physiological thrillers now as opposed to horror

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
 

cant blame you for not finishing lisey's story...one of his worst. Makes up for it tenfold with duma key though

Picked up a s/hand novel by Lee Childs built around a fictitious character he calls 'Jack Reacher'. An infectious, macho read which will appeal to both male and female readers alike. Having hunted round the s/hand bookshops and market stalls I have collected several more volumes in the series and can't put the blessed things down. James Bond - eat your heart out!
