The Woman in the Window was a great read, so many twists, I couldn't figure out how it would end, then when it did, totally unexpected.

Previous read was a bit lame.

John Grisham - A Time For Mercy
This story takes us back to the beginning and Grishams first Novel - A Time To Kill

Karen Woods - TRACKS , a similar vein to Martina Cole which is probably why I can't be bothered reading it.. I already know the plot :roll:

I might pick one of his up and give it a go, he's a popular writer.

How many books on the go at one time Jack? I generally have 2 or 3 going on and whatever trash is on the kindle, I have thousands of books on the kindle but hate holding the thing, it gets too heavy.

I have a kindle, it was given to me as a gift, but no way am I going to read books on it. I still prefer real books. It's the whole experience of turning crisp pages and the satisfaction once you reach the last page.

I only read one at a time but sometimes I rip through them.
McNab is brilliant if you like lots of shooting and punching and political military intrigue.
I've read a lot of the Jack Reacher stuff by Lee Child and still have a couple as yet unread but I find they're becoming predictable so at the moment just can't face another one.

We have a Kindle probably been used twice in a couple of years by wife.
Just not the same as a book.

I'm the same, I love the smell of a new book and that sensation you get when you crack the spine of a new read, like manna from heaven :wubwub:
My friend sent me a clamp for it so I could just lay in bed and read without holding it but it's a pain in the arse having to lift your finger from under the blankets to turn the page :pmsl: am so lazy like that :pmsl: Ideal for grandson watching a film before sleep though. Keeps him quiet.
