Favourite read

I have three patricia Cornwell here - All that remains - Body of evidence - and post mortem. haven't had chance to read them yet, but going off this thread I might start them soon.:D
 
you won't regret it, there is only one book that I have been disappointed of hers and that is when she went down the route of writing about a cop and to be honest she is better sticking to the scarpetta novels :)

The other book is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon,wich is a kind of murder mystery but the narrator & detective is a 15 year old boy with Asperger's Syndrome (think Rain Man),it is both a sad and very funny,and has won several awards.

What a fantastic book that is,i know someone with Aspergers, so it kind of gave me an insight.....i still have the book if anyone wants to borrow it.
 
Good idea Jen, send them over!

I've read a few of Stephen King's. I can't get into all of them but I did enjoy the one where he handcuffed his wife to the bed and dropped dead! I particularly like Penny Vincenzi but never got on with Virginia Andrews.

My favourites are the ones which have a family saga and my idea of heaven is to lie in bed all day with a book I can't put down!

(At one time it was a man, lol, how age creeps up)!!!
 
I can read anything , at present I'm enjoying anything by
Ian Rankin ....Rebus series , (detective fiction set in Edinburgh)
Reginald Hill ...Dalziel and Pascoe series (detective fiction set in Yorkshire)
Bruce Chatwin ...travel....pity he is dead
Daily Telegraph book of obituarys vols 1 thru ..? .......about 6 in the series ,
good bedtime reading
Antonia Fraser ...biography
Molly Ivens ....American political humor
John Berendt...Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the City of Fallen Angels
 
At the moment my favourite read is a dictionary and thesaurus as my spelling, grammer punctuation etc are attrocious. Other wise it is Stephen King novels natural history and general history books. :D
 
I read a lot. Not at all into Dean Koontz or Steven King.

The Fall of the Year - Howard Frank Mosher
History books by Stephen Ambrose
Truman - David McCullough
The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde

Also have been a fan over the years of Arthur C. Clarke, Mark Twain, Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, Josephine Tey.
