is he a cop? if so im sure i have (well ive read one with an under cover cop)

 

[kay-jay]

No he's a journalist and author.
Have you seen fear and loathing in las Vegas? He was portrayed in that by johnny depp. Proper odd ball. Blew his head off with a shot gun a couple of years ago.

Fear and loathing is an awesome film..... After a bottle or two!!

If you like biographies try Peter Kay's, one of the funniest books I've ever read!

I like Stephen King books so I'll have to watch out for that.

Michael Crichton's a good writer too.

My next read is likely to be 'Dodger' by Terry Pratchett.
It's on my Kindle ready to go as soon as I am in the mood.

I hope it's better than his last book 'The Long Earth'.

I could never get into Terry Pratchet's books. Tried the colour of magic a couple of times but couldn't get into it.

My first TP read was Moving Pictures, some parts made me laugh out loud.
From then on I was hooked.

 

[kay-jay]

For laugh out loud books check out tom sharpe. Wilt, porterhouse blue, riotous assembly, and blott on the landscape are all excellent 🙂

I've got all the Pratchett books, except for long earth. Didn't grab me for some reason!

 

[Mike Jackson]

The Long Earth is a more hard core fantasy than TPs normal output. I enjoyed it but I like fantasy anyway. We've got everything Terry Pratchett has written. Sharon's got a kindle and I've got the kindle app on my iPad but we have to get anything by TP as soon as it comes out in hardback. Some books are too good to read electronically.

My favourite TP is Hogfather with Good Omens running a close second.

Agree with Hogfather, not read omens for a long while so I will dig it out.

I particularly liked Soul Music and anything featuring Vetinary or the A.M. City Watch and Sam Vimes 🙂🙂

I was at a Hawkwind concert at the Roundhouse in Dagenham many many years ago 🙂 🙂

Mods
Please delete that last post of mine.

That concert was Forty Years Ago last February and I couldn't have been there as I'm only thirty-five now. 😉

That night was my first encounter with the smell of 'Jamaican Woodbines'.
Probably put me off ever trying drugs to this day.

The story so far is that Harry Potter has left school and got a job with British Gas, and they've given him a van that flies in space ... The Adventures of Harry Potterton will be out soon! :smiley2:

Just finished Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. Great book well recommended. Starting on Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. GF leant it to me said it was good, not managed to get into it yet. Historical thriller, quite like that sort of thing normally. Also read The Shadow of the Wind which is excellent and if you like a mystery thriller well recommended.

 

[hunterseye]

The watchman by chris ryan. Infact anything by him is a good read. But i'm just about to start reading Lee Evans autobiography. should be a giggle.

 

[shannonwells830]

Done with the 50 shades of Grey..off to the next book!:yes:
