FabSwingers.com forum: Recommend a Book?

I've finished The Girl on a Train which I liked, not my best read though.

Anyone read or reading a good book at the mo, as want to buy a new one today.

I don't have a particular genre although dislike horrors.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I recently read Driving Over Lemons, about a guy who moved to the Andalusian Mountains in Spain. It was a pleasant read.

I'm more of a historical fantasy/sci-fi nut so might not like the same as you like.

I got a really good recommendation recently from someone in the forums - I can't remember his name anymore as he keeps changing it...

The series is called The Hyperion Cantos

I'm not through the series yet, but what I have read I like and Marc is going to read it with me now.

Started re-reading all of the Ian Banks novels

So starting with The Wasp Factory.

Disturbing, dark, but brilliant

A parrot in the pepper tree (the follow up) is pretty good escapism. I read it at work when I'm bored.

Apparently he wrote a whole series of books. I'll treat myself one day.

Just finished The Reader On The 6.27 by Jean-Paul DidierLaurent - fab, bonkers and sweet little book.

Reading Stasiland by Anna Funder - it is a GREAT read.

Struggling with The Cider House Rules which is bugging me as I love John Irving.

Highly recommend folk to read The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt - it is a marvel and a real masterclass in writing.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

If you want a challenge read Ridley Walker by Russell Hoban. A dystopian novel written in a strange English the writer created. Well worth working through.
