Coincidently I just bought his Notes From a Small Island TV series DVD - really looking forward to seeing it. Especially as I lived for a few years really near to where he lived while in the UK.

447193 2006-04-20 08:33:00 Anything and everything, except Mills & Boon, though I confess I did read one once to see what the attraction was. I read fiction, technical, historical, biographies, old books, very old books, odd books, weird books, encyclopaedias, manuals and just about anything else that has paper & print.

447194 2006-04-20 10:16:00 I've just started reading the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey/Maturin books on sailing ships in the Royal Navy in Nelson's time. Remember the Russell Crowe movie Master and Commander? In one book review I read the critic said he was envious of anyone starting out on these books because they had 17 more to go. I save them for holidays when I can spend as long as I like because once started, I can't put them down. TideMan (4279)

447196 2006-04-20 11:07:00 Any of the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child- Awesome! 'nuff said

I have recently read some of that series. Good in my opinion.

447197 2006-04-20 11:09:00 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

I loved Terrey Pratchett. Off to find a Robert Asprin book soon. Never seen that one.
