A really good read and enjoyable. About 12 years ago, I read it. Not read McNab since. Chris Ryan was a bit of a fireman bough(Walter Mitty) anaw, I've heard. But I don't know if they all just hate one or are just jealous of one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgundy Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just finished Bill Bryson's latest, The Body : A guide for occupants. I could read his books over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboross Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Been working my way through Doug Johnstone's stuff recently (mostly crime novels set in East Edinburgh) and enjoyed this so much I read it in one sitting. Would highly recommend his other books too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I've not long started this and am enjoying it. I've now got a thing for historical novels, since reading a Colin Iggulden series recommended on the other book thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth a read and is a decent TV programme too. Each series covers 2 books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if that one prize, the rest must have been dreadful. Shuggie Bain is a turgid hard read, with almost every cliche you can imagine. Try to read book every 2 weeks and this is second worst, only Homo Deus beat it. Give me John Connolly and his Charlie Parker series any day. The only books I'll pay full price for. Dont knock the Harari. Quality popular science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find an author I like I usually try and read everything they've written. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
