Good books
Depends what sort of things you like reading. I read loads ( night shifts can get a tad boring )
Some of my latest reads include:
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Faithless by Karin Slaughter
The World According to Clarkson by Jeremy Clarkson
Life Support by Tess Gerritsen
or if you're really desperate try 'Diary Of An Opium Eater' by Jean Cocteau....still trying to get through it
:shock:

Do you know if Karin Slaughter is any relation to Frank G Slaughter.

If you want lighthearted, anything by Terry Pratchett.
If you want escapism, /try the Dragonlance series by Margret West and Tracy Hickman.
For adventure it has to be Wilbour Smith
For somethiong a little provoking try Billy by Pamela Stephenson
If you want some heavy reading thats not too taxing try The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson.
i could go on for days here so will stop now

karin slaughter is my favourite author right now, i also love the mother/daugher writing team pj tracy, and the jeffrey deaver "lincoln rhyme" series is great too...i dont read half as much as i want to these days...im on here too much!
I generally read factual books but when on holiday or relaxing I like to read anything about medical examiners or pathology etc.
I must have read all of Patricia Cornwell's books at least twice.
Martina Cole also writes a gritty story.

Any Wilbur Smith, James Patterson, Stephen King or James Herbert.
I think I may be the only person on here who's never read any Terry Pratchett.

I thought I was the only person on the planet that had read these!!!! They are great (if a bit Tolkienish)
Ice Hunt is good, can't remember the author but good for cooling you on a hot beach. LOL
Also Moab Is My Washpot which is Stephen Fry's autobiography. Fascinating read.
:shock:

Homer Hickam's "Rocket Boys" is excellent. It was the book that was turned into the film October Sky, though I have not seen the film as I think it would probably spoil a great book. It's the first (and best) of a trilogy, the others being "The Coalwood Way" and "Sky of Stone".
Also I would recommend Anthony Horowitz's "The Killing Joke", which is the funniest, most original book I have read for a long, long time. AH has written books for teenagers up until this, his first adult book.
Stephen King's "Hearts In Atlantis" and "Dreamcatcher" are good, and more than just the "usual" blood and gore.
Richard Preston's "The Hot Zone", a fascinating book on Ebola, my fave fatal disease. :shock: Actually, all of Richard Preston's books are immensely readable.
Finally, on the train home tonight I finished "Sorting Out Billy" by Jo Brand. Quite funny, as one would expect if you like her humour.

I've just finished Jonathon Safran Foer's "Everything Is Illuminated". Wow.
Ooooh books! Love reading!
Erm, lemme see...
Any books by William Horwood, Duncton Chronicles, ok, written a few years ago, but brilliant anyway, remind me of my youth.....
Love the Jeffery Deaver 'Lincoln Rhyme' books, more in common eh Kitten??
I've got a son who is on the autistic spectrum and found a really great book which gave me a little insight into his way of thinking which was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime" by Mark Haddon. A fabulous read even if you aren't interested in autism.
Love books by Shaun Hutson too, but then I love blood n guts!
Just about to start Sam Bourne's The Righteous Men - saw them discussing it on Richard and Judy (I know, sad innit?), apparently on the same lines as The DaVinci Code, but written better, I've yet to find out.

Currently reading "Inconceivable" by Ben Elton and it's a scream (quite suprised actually!)
Also have "All fun and games until someone loses an eye" by Christopher Brookmyre lined up.
Also almost finished "Learning to breathe through your ears- an oral instruction manual", it's quite good actually and I managed to master the technique relatively quickly

I read 'The Davinci Code' because I'd read a couple of other Dan Browns. I must say they're all very same ol' same ol'..... Man+woman+secret organisations+two timing friend/colleague
oooh not just me then, I've not read 'The Davinci Code' though I must be one of only a dozen who havn't
But I've read some of his other books Digital Fortress and Deception Point and found them quite lame to be honest, I know it's fiction but even still I like the story to be somewhat beleavable and to be honest they were both a bit too far fetched for my liking Sex God
:shock: oh oh, I just remembered this one.
Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
This is a not to be missed epic book.
Its written like a dramatised documentary about the battle of Thermopylae. Extreemly well researched and I believe historically acurate.
I highly recomend this one, the wrighting style can sometimes leave you breathless, I could not put it down till I'd finished it :thumbup:

If you ignore the fact that all this action and travelling goes on within a 24 hour period, the story is much better than the others.
For one of the best true story books, try The Kid by Kevin Lewis. Broke my heart reading that but well worth it. Also Angela's Ashes is a must!
Penmarric by Susan Howatch is an all time fave too as is Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck - my fave book of all time.
