needles Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Jeeves one of my favourite characters in fiction.I can't get past Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie when I read Jeeves and Wooster - have you seen the tv series they did of the books? They nailed it to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Suspect any serious Rams fan should have a shelf full of Brookmyres and Hiaasens. If not, black humour. not all of it Scottish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished the sequel to John Dies at the end, from David Wong: This book is full of spiders If anything, I enjoyed it more than JDATE, which was good fun but the storyline in this was more coherent - mainly because JDATE was written as a series of short stories & then joined together - I recently discovered. Basically a comic horror novel about an outbreak of parasitic spider-like creatures and it's aftermath in a non-descript US town. Some bits properly scary & then properly funny - not easy to pull off. The behaviour of the quarantined population is often more un-nerving than that of the "spiders" and this human aspect is handled really well I think. Well worth a read if you like that genre.

RicME85 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Dont read books, I listen to audiobooks instead. I, Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan was a great listen, I reckon a million times better than reading the book as it was Coogan reading as PArtridge. My favourite book series at the moment is Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch who wrote two episodes of Doctor Who back in the late eighties.

AmericanRam Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' by GRRM. The 3 novellas in this are the prequels to the Song of Ice and Fire series. First one was very good, and second one is good so far as well. Also reading 'The Bazaar of Bad Dreams' by Stephen King. Great author is King and the stories in this book have been fantastic so far.

JAT Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 'The Sports Gene' by David Epstein. Would really recommend this for anybody interested in patterns of success in and outside of sport. Looks at Nature v Nurture or better put in this book, Hardware v Software. Briefly discusses the 10,000 hour rule highlighted in another great read 'Outliers'. Gender, Ethnicity, Genetics, Training are all under the microscope as contributing factors to some people going on to be elite athletes and other not being quite as successful.
