just to follow on from azz thread about music. If i'm not listening to music or on computer im usually reading. Love crime thriller books. I'm currently reading Never Go Back by Lee Child. (i have a weird crush on jack reacher). Ive read the whole Jack Reacher series now. What you reading and what type of books do you like??
I re-read all the Jane Austen novels constantly. I love detective and mystery stories. Also re-read Dickens and Wilkie Collins. I've just bought the first volume of the Armistead Maupin series - Tales of the City. I saw him being interviewed on Breakfast TV recently and liked the sound of his books.
I've had a little break, but am going to get back into reading.... programming books Next, I want to learn how to make iPhone apps
dont think ild enjoy books like that. reading for me is about escaping into my imagination. im getting the impression you like to keep very busy @Azz. do you always have a project on the go?
I think I might have an attention deficit disorder I like to go from project to project I've actually really enjoyed the programming books, some of them are quite amusing
nothing wrong with keeping busy and swapping projects. if i try and stick with something for to long without a swap to something else i find i go brain dead. so keep swapping between your projects is actually more productive in my opinion as you properly spend less time staring at it brain dead
Murdery crime books for me Am currently reading Tell No Lies by Gregg Hurwitz. I really enjoyed all his books that I have read, I really like Or She Dies too
I've just finished Ken Follett's Fall of Giants about WW1 and have now started on his Winter of the World about WW2. I try to limit my reading to when I'm in bed at night, if I didn't I'd never get anything else done. I love historical novels and one of my favourite authors is Philippa Gregory. I like Joanne Harris, Jodi Picoult, Hilary Mantel and Anita Shreve and I also have a facination with dictionaries and the meaning and origin of words. My idea of heaven would be to live in a library with an unlimited supply of books (and wine of course) where I could happily read my life away, oblivious to the world outside.
I'm just starting 'War Dog' - "A story of loyalty in the face of extraordinary adversity, and of the unbreakable bond forged between a man and his best friend." It's about Czech gunner Robert Bozdech and his dog Ant. I think I will cry lots reading this.
I'm reading some free book on my Kindle called "314", it's a thriller/horror. Just finished another freebie book called "The mystery box" which had me well and truly hooked. Finished it within 4 days! Love anything by James Patterson, Stephen King, and Patricia Cornwell.
@katygeorge Is this the first book in the Jack Reacher series? http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/killing-floor-jack-reacher-1 I just finished Tell No Lies and need something new to start
yeah, you got 18 more after that. dont watch the stupid film with tom cruise its pants compared to the book and hes the worst choice for jack reacher ever (you see why after you read the book)
I mostly read sci fi and dog books. I just finished "Katz on dogs" for the umptienth time. I absolutly love that book.
That must be frustrating Malka! Have you ever tried books on tape? Or on CD it would be now I suppose - I'm a bit behind the time! It's not the same as reading, but they can be useful when I'm busy in the kitchen or on a long journey.
Wee bit difficult when a wee bit deaf! I like to read and once this hayfever has cleared up I will be back to my books!
