I read a lot, but have read nothing by either of those authors.

I will give one of them a try, which do you suggest to begin with. I tend to read less popular fiction:-0)

As it's "a poor copy of Lee childs Reacher" then I'd suggest reading Reacher by Lee childs.

I would strongly recommend Lee Child's Reacher series. When I read David Baldacchi's Zero Day I was astounded by what a blatant rip off of the Reacher books it was!!!

Oh shit......here we go....

Why would one tend to read less popular fiction? Mummy knows best?8rfl@8rfl@8rfl@ I won't read shite but as I read a book every two days on average I inevitably gravitate to well known authors who have not yet traded on their name by writing "weekend" novels or "in conjunction with" crap.

My current favourites are: Lee Childs, Raymond Feist, David Eddings, Michael Connelly, Nicholas Evans, Conn Igguldan, Lynda la Plant, Peter Robinson and Satnam Sanghera for his "Boy with a topknot"!

I have never attended a seance, so I wouldn't know what mummy recommends: she tended to lean towards Mills and Boon!!!

I just wander along the shelf and see what takes my fancy, not a big fan of crime fiction.

At the moment, I am re-reading A Tale of Two Cities, for no other reason than I can.

I would like to ask though, do you read on a Kindle or similar, or do you prefer to read from a proper book? I tried Kindle, but have reverted to proper books (at least I keep the charity shop supplied with my completed reads):-0)

Bought my daughter a Kindle the Christmas before last and she just cannot get on with it. So I use it and I like it compared to books and turning bloody pages and trying not to crease them etc. @tu*

Kindle for me (although I willread a paper one if I come across a good one going begging)
Read about 40 books last summer out in Corfu.

Thoroughly recommend 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' trilogy.

I thoroughly recommend "The Ultimate book of Farting" by "Alec Bromcie"!!!!
Very informative, and a handy reference book on the subject! "A literary masterpiece for the working man" The perfect companion for "The Sun" "Star" "Mirror" newspapers for the break time read at work, @tu*......Well their all about "Shite" in one form or another! ( A bit like DK's posts on here! :-0))
Go on show what a literary connoisseur you are! and savour the approving nods and glances from your Colleagues and friends! :bow: :-0)

Read all the Connelly books and just getting into Baldacci, but at the moment I'm reading "Honda cbr1100xx super blackbird '97-02" by Haynes.
Trouble is I've completely lost the freakin plot!
