MrsRam Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Just reading "Gone" by Mo Hayder. Pretty good so far. I've nearly finished this one Bristol. Sister gave it me the other day and I need to finish it because kids are involved and I get all worried about them. :redface: Alan Carr next - talk about one extreme to the other.

RamNut Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 my recommendations are.... best fiction : erich maria remarck - all quiet on the western front very powerful and simply written. don't generally do fiction. i've tried it but it doesnt do it for me - except for this. best autobiography : arthur harris - bomber offensive i 've read alot of biographies , sports people, racing drivers, footballers, artists, architects, fighter pilots, mountaineers, pop singers,....this is easily the best. It gave me tremendous respect for someone who has been very harshly treated by history. Great man. best science books : john gribben - stardust nick lane - power, sex, suicide andrew knoll - life on a young planet fascinating stuff if your into that best books on sport : harry harris - pele : his life and times duncan edwards - tackle soccer this way juan fangio - my 20 years of racing francis chichester - gypsy moth circles the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 "The Enemy" by Charlie Higson. A different take on the "zombie" genre. Also recommend the Roy Grace crime series by Peter James. All have "Dead" in the title and each one is great. Name checks a lot of my local towns, road names and places which makes it all the better.

I'm more of a book person.... couldn't sit through a whole film unless it was really, really good. Gets on my Mrs. nerves, just can't sit still. I read books everywhere but on a chair.
