I enjoy it. Think of it as being like chips, tasty and satisfying but not gourmet! |

Currently re reading robin Hobbs trilogy the liveship traders on kindle.
Was bought the kindle for Christmas 2 years ago. Thought it was just another toy so it gathered dust for 4 months until I came across it again and started fiddling with it
I haven't picked up a paper book since, much less bought one! |

The Violent Century by Lavie Tidhar; a new, much darker take on superheroes.
I'm fairly convinced that it would make the basis for a good screenplay.
I'm also going to put Mira Grant's FEED, DEADLINE and BLACKOUT trilogy up as suitable vehicles for transition to the big screen.
Extraordinarily well researched tales of zombies, politics, corruption and with enough medical, scientific and ballistic information to make the stories stand out from the run of the mill zombie tale; these are in the vanguard and there are sufficient twists in the plot to have you re-read pages as you will have finished a section thinking 'WTF happened'.
Start reading FEED and I guarantee that you will have gone back to buy the second and third novels before you have read more than a quarter of the book.  |

Watching the English - Kate Fox.
Hilarious all about the hidden rules of British behaviour.. The book starts with her doing an experiment of bumping into everyone in the street and how we say sorry when its not our fault - Round buying in pubs - supermarket snobbery |

"Re reading the trilogy by Phillip Pullman called "his dark materials" it is sheer genius. "
 They'll never make the Subtle Knife into a film so wondered why they made Northern Lights (Golden Compass)
I'm re reading The Hunger Games at the moment |

Great books. I gather The Golden Compass did not do very well at the box office so plans for a sequel were shelved. |

I think they are brill! I must have read them half a dozen times. And they can keep me busy for a while as there must be 20 of them now. Start with killing floor. |

Might start reading Temple again by Matthew Reilly.
Pretty cool moment reading the bit when an M1 Abrahms tank plummets to earth sans parachute with a Earth destroying bomb inside and the hero inside the tank has 30 seconds to disarm it and survive ground impact.
Preposterous stuff but a cracking read nonetheless. |

I agree, I love Mathew Reilly, I've got his new historical novel, Tournament to read next...currently on Spellbound by Kelley Armstrong (a series called Women of the Otherworld...vampires, werewolves, necormancers, witches, sorcerers and many other supernatural species) |

If you like Reacher and Elvis Cole, then may I suggest the Myron Bolitar series of books by Harlen Coben...excellent protagonist, sociopathic but sexy sidekick and there's even a TV assassin - ex Mossad agent who keeps a stiletto in his stiletto |

I read the first one and the writing style was so awful I struggled not to put it in the bin after the first few chapters. Some phrases are seriously, massively overused.
I liked the character and the style but the repetitive language was unbearable.
I have the first 15 of them as e-books but can't bring myself to start the second one. |

As a cyborg, I have had every piece of human literature uploaded to my main databank. If you plug a USB stick into my rectum I will allow you to have an electronic copy of any book you desire. |

Kelley Armstrong is one of my favourite authors at the moment. I loved the Women of the Otherworld series.
I liked her Nadia Stafford books too. |

"Laurell L Hamilton.. just rereading the Anita Blake series .. hot as hell!  "
That series was brilliant until around Obsidian Butterfly and then she just lost the plot. She got far too full of herself and was effectively writing porn with no story.
I've not read any of them since Incubus Dreams. |

I'd stick a USB stick up your bum just for the fun of it, no need to bribe me with books. |

"Either fiction or non fiction? And I include E books as well.
And as a supplemental, what book would you like to see as a movie or series?"
Forgot to add. I'd like to see a movie of Blood Music by Greg Bear. God knows how they would do the end of the book though. |

"I am currently reading, The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood. So far so good...
Sarah"
It's a fantastic book. I haven't read it in about fifteen years though; I may put it on the 'read again' pile once I've worked my way through the rest of Iain M Banks (since he died I've been reading them all in order of publication). |

I love Greg Bear. Songs of Earth and Power would make a good series of films I reckon. |

The Girl in the Painted Caravan, Memories of a Romany Childhood, Eva Petulengro.
My dad loaned me a handful of similar book, said they'd give me a glimpse of his and my grandparents childhoods. Great read so far, I'm looking forward to reading the others!
There's a few Martina Cole novels I'd be interested to see adapted for screen. |
