Read any good books this holiday?

[Kranswurm]

One of the better climbing books you will ever read is The White Spider

 

 

I bought this the other day but forgot it when I left for Maputo

Have you read Goldfinder by Keith Jessop? Sounds like you'd really enjoy it.

Well, to report back I just finished it this morning. Excellent book and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks.

When I bought Gold Finder Amazon as usual says "have you read this" and a book I saw was "Treasure Hunter - Diving for gold on North America's death coast by author Robert Mckinnon so now I just bought it.! Looks very interesting as well and I wondered if anyone else had read it.?

Ship of Gold in the deep blue sea. Written by Gary Kinder. A true story about a ship wreck. Wonderful read.

I have just read my first Nicci French book  'Saturday Requiem' and really enjoyed it. 

 

Any recommendations on other titles of the same author/s that were good?

I am working my way through the Jack Reacher novels by Loo Childs.

I am about halfway, there are 20 of them.

 

They are really well written, plots are well thought out. Really enjoying them, can do a novel in about 2 or 3 days.

Just finished The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins. Gripping read! Really well written.

 

Started Recce by Koos Stadler last night. Pretty decent so far.

I have read two of them so far and enjoyed one of them  far more than the other. Might try a third and see.

I have been flying through them according to a list off the 'net, wanted to do them in written order.

Some are better than others, definitely. The last one I read was hard to get into at first but the plot ended well.

I read all the Bourne books and the rest of the Ludlum books. They're all in a similar genre.

Might capture your attention too - true story about Griffith Pugh's contribution to the first Everest ascent - but it's interesting - a largely untold story...

Off the bike for three weeks in December, so this will keep me busy on cycling-related things...

[Tumbleweed]

Meant to post this a while ago. Read it over the new year. 

 

Hilarious, but tragic too. Looks at the some of the issues that old people face, and confronts stuff like euthanasia.

 

The main character starts a group called the Old But Not Dead Club that plans anarchic outings.

 

Worthy read.

Bought this too, but haven't got around to reading it...

 I read Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits by Barney Hoskins. Really good read whether you're into his music or not. Such an interesting character (....that's probably the understatement of the century....)

they make excellent audio books for those time on the IDT when you need the time to go buy
