I'm currently reading "Picking up the Pieces" by Paul Britton. It's a brilliant book, but I'm nearly at the end.

I'm struggling to find my next read. What have you read recently that you'd recommend?

Dwarves by Hans somebody sorry forgotten his name

Its a cracking book 1 of 4 I think but it's set in the years before the hobbit (based around the same lands)

If you like the technical stuff with a bit of deep philosophy thrown in I'd recommend In Search Of Schrödinger's Cat, about the nature of reality and the reality of the world on the Quantum level.

I'm reading it for the third time.. when I can manage to be off here long enough that is :P

The Story of O. Good, dirty book.

Apple Tree Yard is good too. It's got the best line in it: "sex with you was like being eaten by a wolf".

The Savage Garden

Well written filth by Nikki Gemmell: "The Bride Stripe Bare" and "With my Body". Much bette than 50 Shades of Shite.

The first fifteen lives of Harry August. Was a chance read, couldn't put it down. A tiny tiny bit like the time travellers wife only a bit less "romantic". Very clever. Can't find anything else she has written, am gutted

All David Gemmels books pale into insignificance compared to his wife's. am a bit suspicious she actually wrote his for him but made them slightly "less good"?????

I loved David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas... Which is a bit like 6 stories in one. Fantastic read.

But I've gone on a massive Hemingway buzz right now. Need to read The Sun Also Rises again before I hit up San Fermin next month!

Yes that's in his first book. That's one of those murder cases the public will never forget .

If you like fantasy, especially Lord of the Rings, The Shannara series by Terry Brooks is absolutely incredible. Some of the best books I have ever read.

I like lots of genres. I don't like horrors & not a massive fan of autobiographies but apart from that I'd say I read a wide range of book types.
