I bought her new one the other day and I’m planning on reading it on holiday in the summer, so no spoilers please! I promise no spoilers ?

Top read. Has anyone ever watched the TV adaption? Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Billingham, Cara Hunter and Teresa Driscoll all right good books that keep you engaged. Will check those out. Thanks. i-Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I really recommend the Harry Flynn books from Steve Cavanagh. I'd class them as suspense, detective, courtroom drama genre. He's matured as a writer and his most recent 3 books are outstanding. Thirteen 50-50 The Devil's Advocate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Finished reading Francis Fukuyama's latest offering, a slim but useful book on the growing problems liberalism faces in the world today. On the fiction front, finished Phillip Roth's The Plot Against America last week too, an oldy but a goody i think that I'd definitely recommend.

dog Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 For generic page turning go for Jack Reacher. Apart from the last two Gaspode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Read a set of essays called 'liberalism and its critics' put together by michael sandel which I'd heartily recommend. Also finished the death of the liberal class which I'd stay away from really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelScum Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Great thread! (wish I thought of it). I'll come out with the classics in time but for now... 12 days on the Somme, Sidney Rogerson Unexpected stocking filler off the wife (never heard of it). First World War Diary of an Officer (not officer class?) in the trenches during the opening days of the Battle of the Somme. What makes it so readable is that the horrors of the trenches are side-lined - its more about day to day life. In one bit three of them are trying to get a light to cook as they hear the opening salvo starting the battle, knowing that 1000s of their countrymen are dying it's simply hey-ho! (my words!)

Similar vein . A bit of an old one I can recommend. And this one. Really good read RebelScum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
