FabSwingers.com forum: What book are you reading?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I've just re-read To Kill a Mockingbird. One of my favourite books.

What are you reading at the moment and would you recommend it?

I want to get a couple of new books to take on my holiday and am looking for some suggestions.

I'm reading a biography of Elizabeth the first. I wouldn't recommend it to take on holiday due to its size but it's well written and enjoyable. The author is Anne Somerset.

Is that the one where he climbs out of the window and disappears ? If so , I've read it and it's a great read.

Just finishing The Skin Collector by Jeffery Deaver. It's good but it does link up to some of the other Lincoln Rhyme books. Guess who'll be doing some rereading when she gets home.

Yes - one of the original hard-boiled detectives, have read them multiple times. Plots can be a little confusing, but definitely worth it. Also I love the movies of The Big Sleep and The Long Goodbye.

The Silkworm....it's by Robert Galbraith but he's the pseudonym for J K Rowling. It's a detective novel and nothing like Harry Potter....this is the 2nd in the series. Excellent books.

2 books that I would recommend for light holiday reading (1) Kill your Friends by John Niven ,dark, disturbing, and devastatingly funny. Everybody that I told to read it have had the same reaction from their friends too. (2) one for the ladies ,The Wrong Knickers by Byrony Gordon ,biography about a twenty-something woman's decade of sex ,drugs, debt , and eventual redemptive happiness currently storming up the best-seller charts. Agree about the Shankhill Butchers which is in turn stomach-churning horrific but is at the same time hypnotically unputdownable.
