Thanks for the heads-up about the audiobooks and the narrator's memoirs - going on the list now!

Just finished Magpie Murders, by Anthony Horowitz - a proper Russian doll of a book, a trad Poirot-esque mystery wrapped in a modern mystery. Great fun.

Just started NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, Stephen...

I'll pick that up in the summer - I'm looking forward to it, having read the other two in the Hard Case Crime series.

And don't feel bad about not finishing a book! King himself says that he...

I (like a significant proportion of the UK's population) received THe Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman, for Christmas, and have just finished it. I wanted something light, and I made a good...

Ah, the JK Rowling/Stephen King effect. Thanks for the advice!

To my shame, I've never read a Le Carre´, so I think I should. Start in the expected places? TTSS?

Yes, I think that's the one. The monument has six names on it, from memory, including Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš.

Richie, you're 100% right. I read all his other books too so it wasn't that much of a shock. He's just a lonely boy.[/quote]

Hmm - I might avoid that, then. I normally enjoy his stuff, but I took...

Yes, please.

And on-;ine books? Try Project Gutenburg. :)

Don't know that - I'll have a look on Amazon now!

Edit - Oh, snap! Out of print, and GBP40 for a used one! Wow. Time to try abebooks.com , I think!

By someone like Richard Matherson. Bought it a couple of summers ago, while in a Sci-Fi, horror mood, and really enjoyed it. It's always interesting to see an author or director sweep away all...

I'm about half way through Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, and I've very impressed. It's a fantastic read, and a fascinating story. I highly recommend it!
