I don't read much, mainly due to reading a lot at work. So normally hols are it. Can you chaps recommend me a couple of good reads?
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - brilliant!
the man who cycled the world.
read it on holiday in turkey last week. 1st time i have ever read a book on holiday.
i enjoyed it.
Ton, is that the Marc Beaumont book?
+1 for the girl with the dragon tattoo and the rest of that trilogy,
any John Irving (last night in twisted river is his latest and is great.
I have a copy of Freefall by Tom Reid (now out of print) but a not bad read about an ex para's journey through some troubled time. Yours for the price I paid for it.
Any book by Stephen Leather - especially any of the "Dan Shepherd" ones.
I was just going to recommend Steig Larsson's Millenium Trilogy and the saw simonfbarnes got in first. I thought that was my secret dammit!
Another vote for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its one of the few books I have had difficulty putting down.
On a cycling theme - Matt Seaton "The Escape Artist" - about a guys love affair with cycling - really lovely human true story.
'birds without wings' - Louis De Berniere
Just finished it.. interesting work of fiction set in the times of the end of the Ottoman Empire.. History without getting bored to tears.. Although you may possibly be moved to tears on accasion.. you may cry with laughter and possibly also weep with sorrow too.. good stuff
Sam Sheridan's A fighters heart.
