NI Forum Book and Film Club

GlynD

Does anyone think there's be any merit in asking for a sticky for a Book and Film Club?

I'm always on the lookout for interesting titles to read but of late I've been finding it a bit difficult so I stand in the library for ages instead of buying good books.

I'd be quite happy to share titles with people who read the same genres as me.

I am in as well great to have this in The NI section what kind of books do you all read?

I know this is not to everyone's taste but I'm a huge John Grisham fan having converted to him after reading his fabulous book "The Confession". I've currently just started another one his book namely "The Associate" which I expect to be every bit as good as the previous books of his I have read.

Like John Grisham too. Read a few of his books a few years ago. Then moved on to other stuff. But recently I downloaded " A Time to Kill" which was his first book. Enjoyed that so immediately after finishing I downloaded "Sycamore Row" which is new but billed as the sequel. Good book too although not really a sequel as such, just uses some of same characters. I have now started on Ken Follets "Fall of Giants". This is the first book in a trilogy and quite big so that will keep me going for a while. Books I have enjoyed the most though recently are by author Robin Hobb. They are sort of fantasy books, ie dragons and the like. There are quite a few of them, and built in trilogies mostly. But they are the best books I've ever read. Well recommended if you like that sort of thing. Anyone interested just let me know and i'll give you the best running order to read them, as they do all link together

I haven't read "A Time to Kill" or many of his older books which is reportedly his best work - what is your favourite of his books?

I recently read Sycamore Row - I thought it was really good, different from his normal style though I thought.


Have your ever read any of James Patterson's - I really like his books too, have second honeymoon in the house but still have to read it
