Just thought this would be a good follow on to Kwaks what are you listening to. Seems quit a few have got reading as a fav on their profile.
So I'm going to start with the obvious one as its my idea
Ted Simon - Jupiters Travels
If you hav'nt read it why not
Still a good read 30 odd years on. Keep a look out, he somtimes does a talk and slide show .
The Celestine Prophecy was one of those books I couldn't put down when I read it, and it's spawned 2 sequels and a film. Not sure I'd enjoy it as much now though, I'm not as "spiritual" as I was then.
I'm currently re-reading the Elric series by Michael Moorcock, you can't beat a hero who murders all his friends and eventually destroys the world. ;-)
Haynes manual for a BMW R1100!
OK, so I should get a life. I'm also re-reading The French Lieutenant's Woman, and getting a lot more out of it than I did when I last read it back in the 80s.
Was into any books by Stephen King, James Herbert
have recently been introduced to Graham Masterton
Few bags under the eyes in the morning when I haven't been able to put them down the night before. Just one more chapter....... lol
I recommend 'One for the Money' by Janet Evanovich, leads onto a series of books about Stephanie Plum a female bounty hunter in New Jersey, funny, great plots and characters, well worth a look for some light hearted reading. Apparently they are in the first throes of a film due to come out next year.
Out by Natsuo Kirino, quite dark Most books by Tom Holt, fairly insane Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en, quite funny and insane Hitchikers guide to the galaxy, Douglas Adam Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada, great story about German resistance during WWII Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, feels like a biography but fictional, much better than the film The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
The Art of War by Sun tsu, a 6th century chinese general whose writings are hard going but relevant even today....
"No leader should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no leader should fight a battle simply out of pique(irritation or resentment/ hurt pride).
But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life. Hence the enlightened leader is heedful, and the good leader full of caution"
