Martina Cole - Th Family. I'm a sucker for MCs work and this has a huge part set on Sunny Southend Seafront.

I will have to give money a bash, enjoyed Lionel Asbo

LA's much funnier but Money has its moments.

Just finished the Phantom by Jo Nesbo. Started off well, middle was middling, but bang, ending was great. with better editing could have been superb. can see this being filmed.

I've read 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven', what's this one about/like?

Le Carre is the daddy of Spy Thrillers IMO. As well as the Smiley books, I also love his African themed books.

Don't suppose you've read George Bush Jnr's memoir have you? Thinking of giving it a go for something a bit different.

"Decision Points' is really good DBP, well worth a look.

Cheers, keep reading how his popularity is on the up and up, thought I'd give it a go. Might read it in front of a fire fuelled by dozens of copies of 'Dreams of my father'. :smile:

I have only just started it so here is an online review. www.goodreads.com/book/show/13624688-the-time-keeper.

The 5 people I really enjoyed but if you like his books the one I found best was "Tuesdays with Morrie".

Black Wind - Clive Cussler -read a few of his- they're ok in an historical scenario bought to life in a-modern adventure sort of way. Quite a long read this one.

Modern British multicultural writing at its best.

Modern British multi-culteral writing at its best.

Too fabulous for words.

You should try it.I've nearly finished it now (just two extracts to go).Got something against multiculturalism?

Dark Star Safari (Overland from Cairo to Cape Town) - Paul Theroux

Decision Points - George W Bush

Thought Bush was underrated as President and am finding his memoirs quite humble and reflective of what I'd suspected him to be. Just starting Theroux's travel diaries along Eastern Africa as well, saw it was £1.99 in iBooks and thought I'd give it a whirl.

After finally finishing that Jack Reacher novel (which despite being awful was oddly gripping), I got for free on Amazon The 39 Steps by John Buchan and for not free, The Long Wait by Micky Spillane.
