Flippa Posted January 6, 2016 Share you must see my bookshelf bit of a book nerd, you must see me a those book exchange shops, lets just say its worse than a woman shopping for shoes. Oldest book I own is on ethics in legal practice and it was printed in 1918 some of the authors include Peter StiffJack Higgins Mario PuzoAdolf HitlerStephen KingDean Koontz Jan Breytenbach Tony ParkJohn vd RuitWilbur Smith Pieter MulderJRR TolkienDeon Meyer Dana SnymanI'm the same. Its impossible for me to pass a second hand book store without going in. My wife hates it, and I never get rid of any books, so the collection grows. fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted January 6, 2016 Share Started the Stieg Larson Millennium series. Brilliant!Incredible. . Pity the author died...

Gen Posted January 8, 2016 Share Aha.. Senseless and the follow up Merciless were both enjoyable.. next I found a Mario Puzo book that is not a mob book (as I have read them all) and he originally wrote it under an alias "Six graves to Munich" Then I have the Three Musketeers and The count of Montenegro Cristo waiting for me.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 9, 2016 Share Finished Ted Simons follow up book Dreaming of Jupiter. In his first book, Jupiters travels he rides 58000km around the world and documents his experiences. In the latest one he repeats the journey 25yrs later at the age of 72 to see how the world has changed.An amazing story but also saddening.Its the books that inspired Ewan McGregor's Long way round and Long was down documentaries. Now back to my Bourne books. On number 10 of 12. GrumpyOldGuy and Vetseun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 10, 2016 Share I also started a book thread some years back and there were a lot of great suggestions there as well, seems its gone now, or at least I couldnt find it. I am also a determined reader and read at least two books a week, these days I use a Kindle but Amazon makes a fortune out of me. I seldom read Fiction but over the holidays I read a few of the Jeremy Clarkson books, very light easy reading but worth a chuckle or two, however I just finished "When breath becomes air" by Paul Kalanithi, I bought it a few weeks back but was avoiding it due to its rather sad topic, Cancer, however I tackled it last week and it was excellent.
