General Chat

Lately ive been reading alot and have finally caught up with my backlog of books ive bought but never had time to read. I normally enjoy thrillers along the Colin Dexter, Mathew Reilly and Dan Brown lines or fantasy books Tolkein (of course!) David Eddings, Trudi Canavan. But will read most types of books though not too keen on love stories and the Bridget Jones Diary types of books.

Do any of you have any books or author recommondations for me please?

Thanks in advance

Try Andy Mcdermott

peter robinson books are good and ian rankin, john harvey, kathy reichs all crime thrillers nicci french also good

Sorry Jax for hi-jacking your thread for a min
I had a fall at work on Saturday,Im so briused and stiff,I can hardley move
Im worse than the reasidents

Hello Jax...........I used to read a lot ( in my youth ) and maybe if I finally get my eyes tested I might take it up once more.......lol

Mary Stewart The Crystal Cave , The Hollow Hills and The Last Enchantment are a good read if you like anything Arthurian.

I have in the past read a strange selection of books ( my Mum was a very bookie person ) and introduced me to some of the more obscure "older" authors , they have a charm of there own coming from bygone times.

Mo just googled him he sounds promising thanks

Snow white ive read all of Ian Rankins will have a look on google for the others thanks

Sue thanks hun will give ya a call

Me and N have book addictions luckily we enjoy the same sort of thing apart from he cant get to grips with Tolkein and I cant get to grips with his Dune books lol

Ive just started one called Excalibur by him Jax
Ive read his others

Mo no worries I dont mind at all :o)

Amanda thanks I do enjoy that sort of thing so will look them up

When I run out of ideas I normally fall back on the classics but I read all those not long ago so they aint due a turn again yet lol

Barbara Erskine - House of Echoes.

You won't be able to put it down I guarantee it.

(and I bet you end up reading all her other books too.)

Jax.........I think you'll enjoy the Crystal cave lot then if you like that sort of story........I've read most of the Arthurian stories over the years and I think it's the best of the lot : )

Sorry to hear of your fall Mo.......I hope your feeling better soon x

Janet Inglis Colour of sin, darling, Daddies girl, father of lies......not for the faint hearted Jax..

Thanks Amanda
Some idiot dropped cauliflower all over the dinning room floor,I slipped over on it
felt a right fool

David Gemmell ain't a bad author
James Barclay and the raven books
David Eddings you said him

I'm like you couldn't get on with the Dune books

away from fantasy stuff not long picked up a book by HARLAN COBEN couldn't put it down ..just starting on another 1 now to see if it was him or the book will let you know later

Jax, I can highly recommend this true story by Betty Mahmoody. This is her real life story!

Not Without My Daughter
by Betty Mahmoody & William Hoffer.

Betty Mahmoody lives in America with her Iranian husband and their small daughter. He wants them to go to Iran on a 2 weeks vacation, Betty feels it is a bad idea. he swears on the Koran that it is just for 2 weeks and then they will return to the USA. But, once in Iran , he has other ideas and tells Betty they will be staying put.

Without saying what happens, next..she has to plan her escape from Iran, bearing in mind, if she were caught trying to leave without her husbands permission, she would most certainly face the death penalty. A sit on the edge book, the film is even better.

I can highly recommend it.

Hi Jax

I adore reading, would recommend Philip Pullman, he has been compared to Tolstein. Absolutely gripping, he wrote Dark Materials Trilogy:

Northern Lights
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass

Having found it hard at first to get to grips with, found myself unable to put the books down.
