I'm reading Ghosts of Spain by Giles Tremlett, a journey through the dark side of modern Spain. Very recommended to anyone with an interest in that country, a genuine new perspective. |

The best Sci-Fi book I've ever read is "The Turing Option" by Harry Harrison & Marvin Minsky.
Biography wise... Dave Lee Roth "Crazy From The Heat." The music industry, Van Halen....

"Nikki Sixx - Heroin Diaries
If you ever want to be scared into never taking drugs this is a good read. Scary stuff went on inside his head  "
I've always meant to get around to reading this after reading the dirt |

"I also have a massive crush on Jo Nesbo books at the moment. He writes about a Norwegian Detective who solved murders and has seriously unfortunate taste in women "
I have a huge 'to be read' list but I think I'll add this to it  |

"Existential Kink and The Missing Sister.EK is interesting although I never quite bought into the idea ...how are you finding it ?"
I only started yesterday, but I’m enjoying it so far, it’s a really interesting concept. |

I honestly have no idea how he managed to keep a diary of all the things he did over those years to make the book. It’s insane. Happy to post it to you once I’ve finished it if you like? |

"Currently reading Dune… always heard that it’s a classic for a reason so thought it was about time I found out for myself "
I read it a couple of years ago and found it so immersive, the sequels sadly not so much |

Forgot to mention "The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band." Seeing somebody mantion Nikki Sixx jogged my memory.... Read it years ago - great page turner. Couldn't put it down!
Authors: Nikki Six; Mick Mars; Tommy Lee; Vince Neil; their tour manager - Doc Mcghee?
Read this on the plane Journey to see my relatives - nearly finished it too. A well written book from lots of perspectives.

The mind boggles, he seems a fairly intelligent man.
Yes please. |

The entire set of Alex Rider books.
I'm reading them to my lad at night and they are surprisingly good.
Basically about a teenage James Bond.
The author was actually hired to continue writing more James Bond books, so he must have done something right. |

It’s excellent, but I suspect some will find it quite triggering. |

Lois lane by Greg rucka
A great mystery and detective comic ruckas writing is great and the art work compliments it wonderfully
It's a book I would recommend to any comic fan to read not so much a first time reader as there are some plot points that only make sense with outside knowledge |

"Slash's biography is worth a read though if you believe Axl there's some pure fantasy in it.
Not read Slash yet but he’s featured a lot in the heroin diaries so I might look at him next "
You should, it's a good read.
There's a program Nikki did on YouTube called my favourite riff and Slash was a guest on an episode. During the introduction Nikki tells him something along the lines of...
"We're going to talk about riffs and guitars, kind of like we did when we hung out"
There's a short pause and they move along. Made me chuckle. |

"Robin Hobb - the assassin's apprentice. Totally addictive.
That series is great!
I just read the last of all the books. Feeling bereft. "
There’s about 9 books, that go in a tangent, aren’t there? Or am I misremembering? |

"Currently on the 5th game of thrones book. They are quite big books so keep me going and better than the TV show"
I agree, although waiting for the next one is painful! 9 years and counting… |

George RR Martin really missed a trick in not getting it out before the last season. It would have flown off the shelves. |
