I've just re-read To Kill a Mockingbird. One of my favourite books.
What are you reading at the moment and would you recommend it?
I want to get a couple of new books to take on my holiday and am looking for some suggestions.  |

"Just finishing The Skin Collector by Jeffery Deaver. It's good but it does link up to some of the other Lincoln Rhyme books. Guess who'll be doing some rereading when she gets home."
I always seem to do that ! I read some Ian Rankin and realised I started on book 9 !  |

"Working my way through Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe books - just finished The High Window. 
Is it a good read ? "
Yes - one of the original hard-boiled detectives, have read them multiple times. Plots can be a little confusing, but definitely worth it. Also I love the movies of The Big Sleep and The Long Goodbye. |

I have never been a fan of fiction which is weird, cause I love movies and graphic novels...
So right now in between textbooks I'm on:
Third world to first
Lee Kuan Yew
A controversial figure, but one of my heroes. |

Eeny Meeny by M.J.Arlidge
It's his, (I'm assuming a guy but I may wrong), first novel but done writing for the likes of Silent Witness. Not too far in yet but so far it's very good, has me sold anyway.

The Good Soldier Schweik by Jaroslav Hasek.
The comic story of a Czech self-confessed idiot who gets called up to fight for Austria-Hungary in WW1.
Very amusing if slightly dated.
And ... fortunately ... translated into English ...

2 books that I would recommend for light holiday reading (1) Kill your Friends by John Niven ,dark, disturbing, and devastatingly funny. Everybody that I told to read it have had the same reaction from their friends too. (2) one for the ladies ,The Wrong Knickers by Byrony Gordon ,biography about a twenty-something woman's decade of sex ,drugs, debt , and eventual redemptive happiness currently storming up the best-seller charts. Agree about the Shankhill Butchers which is in turn stomach-churning horrific but is at the same time hypnotically unputdownable. |

The Hurricane by Brian Borrows, an unauthorised biography of Alex Higgins. Best sports book I ever read. Story of a tortured genius who had it all and lost it all. Compelling reading, bit like watching a car crash |

Some great suggestions in here. I'm just reading my way through everything Cormac McCarthy has written, Blood Meridian particularly brutal but beautiful. No country for old men is also a classic |
