By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Can anyone recommend me a good book to read? I haven't read a book in ages and I'd quite like to read again.

I like to read thrillers, crime and non fictions.

Joe Orton's biography, Prick Up Your Ears. Non fiction and a bit of crime, with loadsa sex.

Or John Water's autobiography. It's very good.

If you want a giggle The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

Try the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly

Just been watching the adapted series on Amazon, and impressed with the screenplay too

I love Karen Rose... I like to start at the beginning of a series but I read her trilogy first and I couldn't put them down. I read all three in a week on holiday. Epic!

He talks about stalking some of them, going through pill bottles to find addresses but can't remember if the addresses are in the book. Called Role Models, I think?

Said it before. Will say it again. The masters of crime fiction are: Elmore Leonard. James Lee Burke. Carl Hiaasen. Go there. Enjoy.

Try Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love in a Time of Cholera

I'm not gooey and this book isn't sentimental but it's the most exquisite 50 year tale of and unfulfilled love affair, contrasting promiscuity and faithful marriage.

Bloody beautiful.

Try The Sleep Room... It's on amazon. A proper psychological thriller. I loved it, although it did scare me towards the end!!

He's one of my favourite playwrights. His story is incredible, but definitely tragic.

Just read Ian Rankin's Wasp Factory. Grotesque and brilliantly written. Excellent twist if you like a twisty sort of tale. Tackling Wolf Hall now, early days so no opinion as yet.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

If you haven't read for a while and need something that you can romp through, a proper page-turner to get you excited about reading again, then I recommend Apple Tree Yard, Louise Doughty.

Crime, sex, intrigue and you'll end up re-reading the last chapter again just to make sure you understood it.
