I'm looking for some inspiration. Last year I struggled with finding time to read or even get through a couple of books. In 2018 I want to read at least 12 books. If you guys have any recommendations, it would be much appreciated |

Currently reading Graham Norton's "Holding", not far enough in to rate it, although it is very well written so far.
If you're up for a real challenge, try the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series (Game of Thrones), great books in their own right and will keep you busy for a while  |

"1984 is a good read very relevent in todays society"
Ive only read a couple of Orwells books, and while they are thought provoking, they are also verrry morbid..
OP, try game of thrones. That'll keep you busy for a month or three  |

I've just finish Tom Crean, unsung hero and I'm about 50 pages into bad ideas by Robert Winston. Unsung hero was a brilliant book but in the early stages they seemed to guess a little at his life story. Fantastic insight into the struggles of early polar expeditions.
The human mind is also a good read by Robert Winston |

TA Today: A new introduction to transactional analysis.
This book is magic. It's much more than just a psychotherapy theory. It has it's own philosophy and a masterpiece of communication.
What makes this book good?
- the belief is we create a 'script' for our lives at an early stage. Based upon our experiences, we designate how we expect and believe our lives to turn out. Whether for better or worse, we unwittingly act out this script. Whilst the notion of 'look back at your childhood' seems tedious - the ideas of scripts is profound. It's quite often you see many people act out what they believe their life should be (Like those who say they don't deserve happiness)... and if reading this you exclaim "That's a self-fulfilling prophecy!" then well done - You win a cookie |

Last book I read was actually recommend to me by a fabber on a similar thread, it's called "The Gone Away World" and boy was it a trip
It's got ninjas, rally driving pirates and a mission to save the world. Very interesting read, all the characters are hilarious and unique and it will completely subvert your expectations time and time again. |

"Stephen King's Mr Mercedes trilogy was good
Didn't read the books but tv series was the best television I've seen in a long time. "
Good to hear. I think the books are better though. The TV series was just the first book and I believe they are making the next two now as well. I will still look forward to watching them though, as it was a very good interpretation |

If I were to suggest Tintin in Tibet, on the basis that Captain Haddock is hilarious, I wonder (a) would anyone know what the hell I’m talking about and (b) would I open myself to serious ridicule...?? |

Tintin the reporter with his blonde quiff, little dog snowy and friend Captain Haddock. And not forgetting the Thompson Twins (not the pop act from the 80s)... light hearted entertainment, even at this age |

Depends what you like but if your familiar with Alan partridge we need to talk about Alan and nomad are a witty well written read. If you fancy a gritty insite into a ww2 German soldiers experience at Leningrad then the forgotten soldier by Guy Sajer is mind blowing |

Currently reading a Ross O'Carroll Kelly book but it has reminded me.
Years ago I read a series of books by Spike Milligan and recall finding them very funny, so if someone is looking for humour, I would say you should give them a try |
