| 447184 | 2006-04-18 11:57:00 | Love reading novels in a historicaly accurate setting. George MacDonald Fraser's hilarious Flashman series are an all time favourite, along with David Wishart's Roman era stories. | Greg (193) | ||

| 447188 | 2006-04-19 02:28:00 | I think the Patricia Cornwell books are excellent, particularly if you read them in the order they were written. Personally I gave up on the Kathy Reichs books after reading three. Michael Connolly - detective fiction - methodical and very good stuff. Harlen Coban, Geoffrey Deaver, Linda Faistein are all good. Terry Pratchett has written a series of fantasy/satire Discworld books and we have most of them. Funny and clever. Peter Hamilton and Charles Sheffield write good science fiction. Many people like Stephen Baxter too. My favourite author is Larry Niven. |

George MacDonald Fraser's hilarious Flashman series are an all time favourite, along with David Wishart's Roman era stories. I quite enjoyed David Wishart as well, waiting for the library here to get some more of his books in Have you read any of the lindsey davis "falco series" (my favourite) or the steven saylor "Gordoniaus" I tend to read the historical murder mystery things, from elliis peters, paul doherty, C.L Grace ones of that ilk And of course Terry Pratchett as well as Robert Asprin |

| 447191 | 2006-04-19 06:14:00 | I enjoy reading books set in NZ...but also other parts of the world. Bill Bryson is always a great bet for an interesting read. A couple of unusual but excellent books that I spy on my bookshelf and thoroughly enjoyed reading are: The Honk and Holler Opening Soon - by Billie Letts (whos was a New York Times Bestselling Author) :) :) - leaves you with a warm fuzzy but certainly not oversentimental A Short History of Tractors In Ukrainian - by Marina Lewycka (a novel in English !!) - great fun :) Misty :thumbs: |
