The most recent one I couldn't put down was 'Deception Point', by
Dan Brown. It was written before the overated 'Davinci Code' and wow what a fast paced read :shock:
Am currently reading 'London Bridges' by James Patterson :thumbup:

John Francombes' Back Hander
I shall have to get hold of that then, as I'm always looking for good recommendations on books to read - getting through one or two per week on average.
As for the last unputdownable book I read, that would be last week when I read right through, The Ripening Sun by Patricia Atkinson. Nothing special, so don't rush out and get it, but it interested me no end. It's about a woman who moved to France with her husband, following his dream. They had a vineyard attached to the property they bought. Anyhoo, he gets ill, goes back to UK and leaves her to look after the vineyard, with no French (to begin with) and no knowledge on how to look after all those vines and turn them into wine. She did it though (and still does)! Admirable stuff.
Any of John Francomes' books are good..... try Stalking Horse too...... very creepy.... lol.. I saw a write-up for The Ripening Sun... and have put it on my Christmas List.... lol

Top series of books, if you haven't read them you dont know what you are missing.
Read them, my copy fell apart from too much reading. I agree that each time you read it you (re)discover something.
The question is though, have the films spoiled the book for you? The only thing that spoiled the film was the soppy bit at the end with Bilbo and Frodo. Yuk!

so far i have actually visited all the locations in "the brightonomnicom", and, funnily enpough, one of the locations is a well used dogging site, which was not mentioned in the book. :shock:
And i've never even been to Brentford..
What a cruel world it is** A Lazlo Woodbine Thriller
was that remark made...in his office?, the bar, the allyway or the climatic rooftop finally?
as there are only 4 locations in any lazlo woodbine novel?
Probably in the bar.. talking a load of old toot
over a pint of old castrol, i take it?
Must have been an old charter or somthing.

I agree with you Gem good books ( it was the subtle knife ) . People compared them with Lord of the Rings - good, but not in the same league !

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Read it cover to cover, then read it again the next day.
Is it a novel or is it a conspiracy theory? I don't care, it's a bloody good mystery. :thumbup:

" The Set " by Ranulph Fiennes ...................... rarely has a book so chilled my spine through its simplicity of "wow, this could really happen" . :shock: :shock: or has it already :scared:

Interesting to see these are all fiction books.
Im currently into my non-fiction, as I find people true life stories simply amazing, almost unbelievable and just riveting.
My last book that I really was glued to (even took it to the loo at times!) was: Report from Ground Zero by Dennis Smith, different peoples stories of events that fateful day. Made me stop and think a lot.
I think having been to Ground Zero it was just something I wanted to read about.

Da vinci code is indeed a good book ice but although based on some fact, it is littered with historical inacurracies and is based upon the theologies of many other historical religious authors. Holy Blood Holy Grail is another book in this genre and is much more accurate and deals with the Gnostic Gospels of Nag Hamundi Library amongst others.
Am currently writing a theology about the life and times of Jesus Christ so hopefully i will start a similar thread off when it is published and a few of you guys will be putting my book down haha :shock:

Clive Barker 'Galilee' by know means a recent book, but I can read that time and time again, and i think its a magic book, cause everytime I read it something happens that I had missed previously or maybe I just have a crap memory lol

You can see Asperger's? I haven't noticed any physical difference in any of the autistic children I've taught, one of whom (current class) has Asperger's.

I suppose the last book I read cover to cover would be Harry Potter, I do like those as they are deep, but not too deep for a tired mind after work. I finished it in one sitting from 8pm to about 2am if I remember rightly. Otherwise I always get stuck in anything by Terry Pratchett, not just discworld although they are my favourites...
I was going to say that was it until Little Gems post reminded me of this brilliant series. What a universe they spun, eventually I feel running out of next amazing thing which left the ending clever, but somehow wanting to me. But I loved the books and went to work bleary eyed for days...

Oh wow I love book threads!
Sorry folks but the Da Vinci Code is badly written plagiarism - as Steanrachy say(s) the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail is much better founded.
Last unput-downable read was Saturday by Ian McKewan - master of modern literature!

If its non-fiction your after, Billy by Pamela Stephenson is a must.
another little known work is " Why Forgive " by Johan Christoph Arnold. Alba Booklist review contains the following phrase about this book " So powerful that tears often impede reading " and its true, they do. (imho)

There are no physical differences between people with autism and any others - I have worked with a number of people with autism - you simply cannot tell just from they way they look. I have seen internet posts where people speculate about famous figures including Bill Gates, Einstein, etc., possibly having/had aspergers, but this can only be meaningless. It's understandable that people who, for example, do not make much eye contact with others, or are lacking in social skills, or are generally seen to be "geeky" in some way or other, might be suspected to have aspergers, but making assumptions like this is very dangerous.
