Currently dragging myself to the end of my first and very definitely last Lee Child book. What was I thinking when I ordered this; the very definition of literature for morons to be filed next to Jeffery Archer and Tom Clancy. I thought I needed something easy and light - turns out I hate easy and light (at least the way Childs writes it).
Read it a while ago, but Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is an amazing book that will make you wish you were a cowboy. The sequels are OK, but not in the same league. Most of Haruki Murakami's stuff is good if you like surreal fiction. His non-fiction book about running marathons is also very good.
I'll have to disagree with Mr Lager, the second Rothfuss book is as good as the first.
+1 for that. I enjoyed them both equally and i also wonder if the 3rd book will ever be finished. Patrick was also surprised - see the first review of the new book 'Doors of Stone [url= https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21032488-doors-of-stone ]here[/url]
On the back of a recommendation on here i have recently ready 'First Light' by Geoffrey Wellum. It was highly recommended by a few but sadly not really my taste. Good but not great.
Of the cycling related books i would hugely recommend 'The Secret Race' by Tyler Hamilton and Ned Boulting's 'On the Road Bike'.
Next up for me will be Guy Martin's autobiography - unashamed manlove!
Try Jupiters Travels by Ted Simon. Real BITD wanderlust epic. On a slight tangent, I'd been reading Conn Igguldens books, the Genghis Khan series had me enthralled, the descriptions of Mongolia and further afield piqued a real interest in the area and culture.
Not a book but try Bunyan Velo(Digital) and Sidetracked (available in paper format). Beautiful publications with some amazing photography.
I'm on Market Forces by Richard Morgan. Not a patch on his other stuff and I was quite surprised to see the order they were written in- I'd have assumed this was his first one!
Still turning the pages though..
Just read "THe Redeemer" by Jo Nesbo. I have an Ebay Nesbo bundle on the way...
