Must Read Books?

[syke]

Coming up to a hell of a long flight, thought id order a few books.

Which do you recommend?

Not Harry Potter though .

I like Crime, Bi/Autobiographies, and a lot more.

Any you think are must reads out there?

Will buy the rest of the Harry Potters and give them a read too.

I'm reading A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah at the minute. Its both a fascinating and disturbing read about a boy soldier in Sierra Leone.

If your looking for something a bit more light-hearted then anything by Terry Prattchett

Sounds quite good actually.

Any others you recommend?

Any comical, to lighten me up on the flight .

Are you looking for recommendations for yourself, or are you asking what books we think are 'must reads'?

Both really.

See what people recommend, read about them & see if ill like it .

Ghostwritten - David Mitchell.

Whats this one about?

 

[syke]

That's difficult to answer. In a nutshell each chapter is a short story told from one characters perspective, although each one is self-contained (they are set in different locations and times) it becomes apparent that all of the stories are connected in some way. Saying more might ruin the book for you, but I'm confident you won't regret reading it.

Sounds good. Got a few on the list now .
