Re: What book are you reading now?
I just finished the first of a series, Flowers in the Attic, a poignant book that kept me reading and reading...starting on the second book now !Re: What book are you reading now?
I read a couple of them, must be 30 years ago now, goodness how time flies!! Enjoyed them at the time.Re: What book are you reading now?
I used to love J L Burke. I got his first Robicheaux novel, The Neon Rain, in a charity shop when there were not so many around. I read them all as they came out but the last few years he got too sentimental and god bothering for me.Re: What book are you reading now?
I've read almost all of his books and enjoyed the great majority of them. Interestingly in the Robicheaux stories, the daughter of the fictional detective is named Alifair.Re: What book are you reading now?
I did a search for 'FREE' on my Kindle and came across a few detective novels. One was by Jeffrey Archer marked down from £9.95! Seemed a short novel but one I quite enjoyed, though I thought it had a major flaw in that the detective had a gammy leg which was at odds with the action scenes. 2nd one I found for free is lengthier and the detective is a 'real man'; one that drinks copious amounts, fights and beds lots of women . Blimey is life in the US as portrayed in the book I wonder? I ain't man enough to frequent such a place if it is that is for sure. Full of coked up lunatics ready to kick off at a moments notice apparently. Enjoying the book though all the same. Can't remember the title or the name of the author off the top of my head right now. Will add it later.Re: What book are you reading now?
A while back I read Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, which I really enjoyed. So, now I'm reading Mitchell's The Bone Clocks, which has a similar structure to Cloud Atlas but is not quite so enjoyable although still eminently readable. This lesser enjoyment is probably because one section seems to be largely a literary in-joke that you have to get in its entirety to appreciate it.
