Laid Back Maverick Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 In no particular order and counting boxsets etc. as one book... *Way To Go - Alan Spence *Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkein *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" - Douglas Adams (except Mostly Harmless which I thought was a let down) *The Sea Around Us - Rachel Carson (Enjoyed Silent Spring too, but most of the content has been shown to be OTT) *Crow Road - Iain Banks *Kidnapped - R.L. Stevenson *The Real Bravo Two Zero - Michael Asher (not the "McNab" or "Ryan" pish - you did know they used pseudonyms didn't you?!?) *Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers - Grant Naylor (AKA Rob Grant & Doug Naylor) What...more than five?

bluetooner Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Very Very difficult question, dont read much as usually read when go to bed and i fall asleep very quick. A writer that i ashamedly like is Phillip Pullman, he has a trilogy of kids books that i couldnt stop reading when started. Apparently they are being touted as being as big as LOTR soon. Like John Grishams books, Michael connelly, Thomas Harris silence of lambs books, Michael Crichton is a good writer. Cant really pick out favourite books tho.

Laid Back Maverick Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Never ! You'd be surprised Ade. A couple of my mates couldn't believe it. Dunc, here's a wee thought for you. "Andy McNab" freely admits to be a poorly educated cockney, but manages to write such good novels. Hmm...ghost writer I think. Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Good point, I seriously doubt he writes the novels. He must have quite a big input though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
