Don't Kill Bill · 15th May 2007, 19:04

Dan Brown...shit ..I think he gave us a clue with his name.

Grisham...Pants no clue in his name or his writing.

King.Brilliant until he got up himself.Dead Zone great Pet Cemetery ohhh.

Koontz...Fear Nothing.. Seize the Night worth reading if you can get past the surfer talk.

My tip for the Red Café book club would be-----

Altered Carbon is it Richard Morgan(loaned it to a Friend and can't remember)?very good book if you're into Sci Fi.

I've read a couple of Stephen Baxter's and they were depressing shite.Revelation space Alister Reynolds was quite good.

The Alchemist was supposed to be a deep allegoric masterpiece or sumat.I thought god this is shit all the way through reading the damn thing.I am probably not smart enough to get it.

On the spy genre .I loved Smileys people and the Bourne trilogy was OK.

I would second Bryson for a relaxing read.

Feel free to disagree or ignore.:O)

Coelho is bit overrated, for me he is boring, too.

ILBB15 · 16th May 2007, 21:59

I liked Coelho when I read one of his books for the first time. But after reading a couple of his books I found out they´re all so similar.

Richard K. Morgan

good book, sort of sci-fi noir if you can call it that
also read Broken Angels which was not bad but not as good as Altered Carbon

Don't Kill Bill · 17th May 2007, 00:45

On the Coelho point.I don't get him at all.Can someone explain what I am missing?Just because it is better to serve tea in crystal glasses, does not enlighten me at all.

Anybody read The Children of Hurin. Can't find a torrent for it yet.

Man Utd Mrs · 18th May 2007, 00:19

I like James Herbert Books,especially "The Dark"...slightly disturbing but unputdownable.

ManUinOz · 18th May 2007, 09:35

I just finished a book last night called Marley and Me by John Grogan

http://http://www.marleyandme.com/

It an autobiography (sort of) of the authors relationship with the dog he desrcibes as "the world's worst". Anyone who loved dogs will surely love this book, it had me giggling in public in parts and close to tears in others. A great read that I related to having owned a pyschotic dog in the past and owning a stupid one now. 8.5/10.

I absolutely want to read that one, I heard it`s very good and very bizzare.

It is probably the most random book you will ever read. Definitely worth the effort. Also one of the funniest, but maybe not as laugh out loud funny as Catch 22, but so it goes...

Iain M. Banks SF books:

Consider Phlebas
Player of Games
Use of Weapons
Against a Dark Background
Excession
Inversions
Look To Windward

All fucking excellent, and i`m not really a SF fan.

Awesome books.. His autobiography My Dark Places is one of the most interesting and disturbing books you will ever read..
