I'd like to start a book this evening ...I'm looking for something gripping, something immersive that'll make me forget the gloominess outside, something that mesmerises and most importantly something that has a satisfying ending....
Any suggestions..? |

"Kindle? Or do we have to choose books you already own? "
Kindle... All the books I own are in boxes in a garage waiting to be moved into my new house... I miss them  |

"Depends if you're a horror fan?
I could try...not touched the genre since 'point horror' - back when in my teens!
Stephen king!!
Gerald's game is brilliant!!"
Hmmm.... Not his best. Although the fact that the action all takes place in a small space (the bed) is a clever ploy on what has happened to the lady. All very restrictive 
Scary? Try reading 'Jaws' by Peter Benchley. |

I actually really enjoyed Gerald's Game! Jessie's one of King's strongest female characters - including Beverley Marsh - IMO. |

11-22-63 probably the best book I've ever read. I have currently refused to read any other book as I had such a connection with the characters and story. It's by Stephen King btw and it's not a horror. |

I've just finished the Hunger Games trilogy...very readable and much better than the films.
Martina Cole is always a great bet for gripping, gritty crime (The Take being a particular favourite).
I'm also a lover of Jodi Piccoult. While slightly softer, they are thought provoking and often make you think "what would you do" (19 Minutes looks into a school shooting, Lone Wolf is a fascinating look at organ donation and wolf pack!)
And for pure childish escapism you can't beat Harry Potter!

Can't remember the author but. The art of driving in the rain. Excellent read. Not a book i would have ever looked at. Was a book talked about by Clare Boulding on a book programme said on of the best books she had read. I really enjoyed it |

"I quite like the Rebus novels , also Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchet
Pratchett's great!
Some of Ben Elton's books are good too! Satirical humour! X

Thanks but that only takes five minutes! I timed it! |

Starship troopers.
Not very long so a good one to dive into.
Nothing like the films. |
