    I just finished reading The hundred year-old-man who climbed out of the window and disappeared. It was fantastic, and really fun.

    Recently finished "the unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry" and "the woman who went to bed for a year". Both were excellent, and of a completely different genre to what I normally read. The latter finished a little too quickly for my liking though.

    Just finished "Midnight at the Well of Souls". Excellent sci-fi by Jack L. Chalker. I can also recommend "Legacy of Heorot" by Niven, Pournell and Barnes.

    Finally finished the Harry Potter series! Loved it and as I mentioned in an earlier post the fact that I hadn't seen the films made it all the better for me.

    Just finished 'All played out'. It's Pete Davies account of his journey around the World Cup in 1990. Shows how much the Premier League was actually built on the success of the England team. It's recently been republished under the name 'One night in Turin' if you can find it.

    On this recommendation I read the book and thought it too was brilliant. Nice one.

    Just finished Stephen Kings Under The Dome - not too bad at all and I'll be downloading the TV series now.

    Anyone who has enjoyed reading game of thrones up to now might be interested in reading The broken empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence. Although this series is a single perceptive it does have a similar setting to GoT and is a really good read. The first book is called Prince of Thorns for anyone interested.

    viz on the bog is one of lifes pleasures. Read a book in 10 mins. Read the beginning chapter and the last and the middle is just mostly what you expect. Just guess the cunt!

    Doors of perception, also the standard brave new world.

    Jungle book by Kipling is bloody good.

    Having fully converted to ebooks, I'm working my way through the cheapos on amazon. The best one so far is called Nameless by Joe Conlan - it's his first book, and only costs 38p:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nameless-ebo...6592229&sr=1-1

    It's about a guy chasing a serial killer. The main characters are well defined, the story carries itself well, and it's nice and graphic. I really enjoyed it; certainly worth more than the money it costs.

    I've recently read Asbo, Sam, The Peeling, The Final Winter and Seasick all by Ian Rob Wright. Some good scary stuff (and some weird shit too).

    Stick with the series... It gets much much better. Although be warned that they have signed up for a second season so the ending is likely to be very different (it would have been anyway) or not at all!
    There is another thread for this discussion.

    If you have not read Duma Key by King, grab that. I found it much better than Under the Dome.
    We all make mistakes sometimes

    Thanks to Goldberg

    Simon Kernick for me, like a spin off of Dan brown, like his stuff, Severed is one of my best buys of his!

    Same here, I don't get a lot of time to read books but I'm half way through it as well & thoroughly enjoying it.

    Read Karen Slaughter - Unseen,
    Dan Brown -Inferno - raises an interesting point really.
    Dean Koontz - Intensity - Seems very padded out with masses of description for the sake of it

    Just got the new Reacher but haven't started it yet.....

    I read 11/22/63 when I was on holiday (and a bit beforehand). It's a decent book but really long and it sometimes feels like no progress is being made. The story gets a bit ridiculous near the end, after the main event. I don't know if I would recommend it because although the story keeps being moved along it did feel at one point like part of the story was going to be repeated (again - I'll say no more than that).

    Good book. If anyone's interested I'd say read the beginning of a synopsis and figure out from that if it's the sort of story that would interest you. Then be prepared to set a lot of time aside.
    No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...
