The forums. Good cast of characters and some interesting plotlines.

Sometimes it's a bit derivative but on the whole, it keeps me engaged and wanting the next episode.

And often far better plot twists than your average novel and more drama than Shakespeare or Homer......

Yep.

There are some great characters on here and some seriously funny folk.

Can safely say that if my knob met with a hungry, ferocious tiger related incident and was no more and I was permanently paralysed in a freak accident involving a falling grand piano, that I'd still peruse the forums daily for an injection of entertainment.

Been enjoying a few Agatha Christie's recently, if that's your thing? Recommend Peril at End House. Shirley Jackson is fab, if a bit dark. The Haunting of Hill House is probably her most famous. The Bill Hodges Trilogy series by Stephen King is more crime than horror.

Reading Fabric of cosmos by Brian Greene

For your taste, I can recommend Phantoms in the brain. Non-fiction, very interesting stuff.

"As much as the forums are an interesting read, it would be nice if someone could recommend books "

So, Crime, non fiction, sociology or psychology type books? OK.

Crime:

Lee Child's Jack Reacher series. Brilliant hero, funny, clever, hugely enjoyable. Basic premise: Good guys win, bad guys lose, usually after being imaginatively beaten to death by Child's hulking avenger.

Michael Connolly's Bosch series are great LA cop thrillers.

Don Winslow, a terrific US crime fiction writer. Best books: The Winter of Frankie Machine, California Fire and Life, The Cartel Trilogy.

James Ellroy: The LA quartet (the film LA Confidential was taken from them), American Tabloid, all his books are good.

Elmore Leonard: The Boss. Try Maximum Bob, Out of Sight, Get Shorty, Freaky Deaky, City Primeval. Hell, he's never written a poor book.

Joseph Wambaugh: The Hollywood series, about policing the seedier side of LA. Every book has multiple plotlines, the same great cast of characters and are very, very funny. (Also, for non-fiction, his book The Blooding, about the Narborough Village Murders, the first ever DNA-solved killings, is outstanding)

Non-Fiction:

Too huge. Depends on your taste, surely? Best ones I've read recently:

Quiet: The Power of Introverts.. by Susan Cain, is brilliant. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, The Uninhabitable Planet by David Wallace-Wells, a nightmare glimpse of our future with global warming.

Try George Orwell's non-fiction and essays: The Road to Wigan Pier or Homage to Catalonia are great starting books. David Simon writes good crime non-fiction. Also Yuval Noah Harari - Sapiens is fascinating, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is already starting to come true (the end of cash, for example).

Psychology type books:

12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson, Atomic Habits by James Clear, Sane New World by Ruby Wax (not bad, honestly) , The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters, Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

Also Malcolm Gladwell, although not a professional psychologist, writes interesting and accessible books on a number of fascinating psychology type subjects. "Outliers" is the best of his books to start off with.

That's a very good idea. I tried ages ago with my library card but didn't have the libby app. I will try again. Great suggestion

I’m currently reading Atomic Habits by James Clear - interesting so far but slightly repetitive as with all popular psychology books.

Stranger Than You Can Imagine by John Higgs is an engaging read too if you are into trying to understand how society has got to where it’s and where we go from here!

I’ve nearly finished The great alone by Kristin Hannah which has been really good, set in the mid 70’s, tells the story of a Vietnam vet with severe PTSD who takes him family to a very remote part of Alaska to try to get away from the horrors and nightmares he experiences and how his mental illness and the extremes of the Alaskan environment impact on his wife and daughter.

So a guy with PTSD takes his family into an environment that gives them PTSD?
