Evening all,

Just got a great new book, "The Rhythm Section" by Mark Burnell and I just cant put it down, definately the best thing I've read for ages, recommend it to anyone. Apparently being made into a film for release 2003 or so I've heard.

Any other bookworms out there in Scoobynet land?

Not really into fantasy, sci-fi or horror, but I love thrillers, comedy and Nick Hornby type stuff!

Patrica Cornwell is one of my favourite authors.

Some of my favourite books, that I would recommend are:

Airframe - Michael Crichton (Don't fly afterwards!)
Bad Memory - Duane Franklet (Thriller for the IT geeks!)
Are You Experienced? - William Sutcliffe (One for the people who have been travelling!)
Time For Bed - David Baddiel (One for the insomniacs!)

Might have to give The Rhythm Section and Timeline a go!

PS - Although I don't really like Sci-fi, I've just read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, and it's a stunning book! If you buy it, just read it and skip the introduction! The introduction gives too much away!

andy, airframe was a good book.

timeline is quite different but much better imho. Ender's Game was good, got a couple of his books.

No ShKidding, but I've been reading Harry Potter and it's pretty good. Nick a copy off your 12yo niece or nephew and have a read. There's some pretty cool stuff in there.
Now reading the 3rd book

yeah I'm on the 2nd Harry Potter book and have to agree thats its suprisingly good and certainly a break from the norm.

Fosters

Anyone else here read the Gap Series by stephen donaldson?

Best series i've ever read!

Mossman

Use to read loadsa' Anne Mc Caffrey! Brings back some memories. Raymond E Feist is superb, as is the Shannara series of books but I cannot remember the author!

Harry Potter is SUPERB! Cannot wait to see the film. I also enjoy thrillers with Ed McBain and Patricia Cornwell being excellent.

Unfortunately not much time anynore to read . I think I get too many mags - Evo, Car, Wallpaper, GQ etc!

Cheers,

Mossman
