Book Reccomendations & What are you reading?

[BrandonMcAuslan]

So whats everyone reading right now? (if you read).
And what would be your recommendations on a good read be?

I'm reading "The Runes of the Earth" - by Stephen Donaldson. Last in the "Chronicles of Thomas Covenant".

I'd recommend "Incompetence" By Rob Grant - Funniest book I've ever read.

*For a guy who reads so much I've just noticed I've mis-spelled the title of this thread :lol:*

Rob Grant - didnt he write the Red Dwarf books too? I loved them

I dont get time to read much fiction these days, just general user manuals and the like instead

The last book I read was Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve.
I am also excited about Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials books being turned into films.
I highly recommend checking out both authors.

Yeah! He was a writer for the tv series too.

He's written red dwarf books along with Doug Naylor (think thats his name)
"Last Human", and "Backwards".

"Colony" - "Incompetence" - and "Fat", are his own 3 books. All are great, the humor is on par with Red dwarfs. :thumbsup:

Currently reading Insomnia by Stephen King. Not very good so far.

I recommend Catch 22 (author?) The English Patient by Micheal Ondaatje and anything by Neil Gaiman is good.

No wonder it sucks. Its by Stephen King :lol:

And Catch 22 is an all time classic - Of the variety your high-school English teacher will have you reading. Its by Joseph Heller :wink:

I read some Sas books by Andy McNab they are quite good.

I also used to read books by the author Darren Shan and they were very interesting.

Also the Anthony Horowitz books are a good read

:lol: good film


Have you read any of the books that possibly our GCSE students would read like macbeth, romeo and juliet or war of the worlds or to kill a mocking bird or do you swing towards more darren shan, stormbreaker type stuff?


We have to read stormbreak at the moment and I'm like Gah, can we read a decent book?:lol:

I used to read Darren shan
I was about twelve to thirteen then but now I like the Andy McNab books because he writes about his SAS experiences and they are really worth a read.

A book you may read in you're GCSE'S may be Cell by steven King

I enjoyed the darren shan books, good reads but I found some bits a little strange.

Every read the trilogy by darren shan starting with lord loss?

that book has a gory beginning, he walks in to find his parents and sister being ripped apart and such. Lovely. . .
