Title: Book recommendation
Post by: sinbad on October 27, 2013, 10:51:45 PM
Don't see it but is there a non fishing book good read thread, if not would anyone like to reply with their good read suggestions ?
I enjoyed all Pratchet disc world books , A.C. Doyle, Tolkien, Isacc Asimov, Raymond E Feist and a few autobiographies.
Is there a link to a topic already started or what did you like ? Ta. Ian

Book 6 in the Darkslayer series was the last so I may well move on to some of the others. The Zombie series had good reviews too.

Another author I read.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=daniel+arenson (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=daniel+arenson)

I got the trilogy, which is cheaper than getting all three, of Dragonlore, Songs of Dragons and Dragon War.

Recently re read "Riddley Walker" by Russell Hoban;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Riddley-Walker-Russell-Hoban/dp/1408832240/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382969211&sr=8-1&keywords=riddley+walker (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Riddley-Walker-Russell-Hoban/dp/1408832240/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382969211&sr=8-1&keywords=riddley+walker)

Have to say I really enjoyed it, much more than I thought and more than I did first time round. Perhaps thats because I already knew some Riddley speak.

Another is "Am Beal Bocht" (The poor mouth) by Flann O'Brien;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Poor-Mouth-Flann-OBrien/dp/0330245848/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382973529&sr=8-1&keywords=The+poor+mouth (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Poor-Mouth-Flann-OBrien/dp/0330245848/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382973529&sr=8-1&keywords=The+poor+mouth)

From your past preferences add R H Heinlein ("Time enough for love" and "I will fear no evil" - Malcolm and I shared an enjoyment of those two) or Philip Jose Farmer's "Riverworld" saga. For something lighter Douglas Adams "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" series.
