"Dangerous Lady" by Martina Cole, I'm really into crime thrillers, especially those of the recently deceased Ruth Rendell. The "Inspector Rebus" novels by Ian Rankin and the "Inspector Banks" novels by Peter Robinson are great too and going back in time try those of Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, etc. Even the romantic novelist Georgette Heyer wrote some very good contemporary thrillers in the 1930s. Love the classics too, Dickens, Trollope, George Eliot but my favourite of all is "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte of which there has never been a decent film or t.v. adaptation. Nevil Shute is another great favourite of mine, a wonderful story teller, especially his 1949 epic novel "A Town Like Alice". I started out as a c h i l d with Enid Blyton and I STILL think she's the best c h i l d r e n ' s author of ALL time whatever the politically correct brigade think. Who are they to tell US what we should or shouldn't read and what we should or shouldn't enjoy?

Charity shop's are the best place to buy books. You get a cheap book they get the money they need, it's a win win situation

I'm not much of a casual reader (mostly textbooks), but the last few books I (mostly) read were Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, Richard Dawkins' Blind Watchmaker, Douglas Adams' The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Tolkein's The Silmarillion...

By #214409 at 14,Jan,13 21:42

pillars of the earth and the other recent books from ken follett. if you like sci fi, try isaac asimov's foundation series. life of pi was good. i've been told the hunger games series was good too.

Sadly I cant rember the author but Divergent and Insurgent where good reads. Then you have the "Maximum ride" series from James Patterson the last book was released maybe two months ago, but still my alltime favorite was "Angels and Demons" by the guy who wrote "The davinchi code"

Veronica Roth. Four Rocks. They just started filming Divergent.
