Just finished the 3rd book in a series of 4 on Caesar by Conn Iggulden, easy to read decent set of books up to now.
Taking a break from all things Rome, now reading Sophie's choice by Jostein Gaarder, quite good so far.

You may be pleased to hear he is currently working on a 5th book covering the events after the assassination of Caesar, the rise to power of Octavian (Augustus) etc.

I'd also recommend his series on Genghis Khan + his descendents, five books all of which I enjoyed greatly.
 
I'm currently half way through the second young Bond book Bloodfever. Very good read so far, as was the first one.

I finished that last month. Very good i thought, but i haven't read any of his others. I've heard people say it was similar to... actually i forget which book, maybe Looking for Alaska? What did you think?

I definitely want to read the rest though, he's the one author that i've actually made time to read lately. I mean i've read other stuff, some of it really good. But i just haven't looked forward to picking it up again as much as i did with that.

I think i read those a few years ago. At least up to Bloodfever. As i remember it was rather 'meh', just another stab into the already saturated 'spy' market. Although that might have been because i read it at about the same time as i read the Alex Rider series (up to Ark Angel).
 
It's actually not too bad at all. Got them recommended to me and I'm a massive Bond fan so thought I'd give them a go. Nothing compared to the original Fleming books but still fairly good, easy read. Never read the Alex Rider series, any good?

Yeah i knew about the Genghis Khan books, but i am tight, if i see them in a bootsale or charity shop, i will buy them,
Didn't know about the new Rome book, thanks
 
Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy - A Trilogy In Five Parts

Haven't read them in about 10 years, still as funny as ever. I enjoyed 'So Long And Thanks For All The Fish' more than I was expecting, it wasn't as bad as I'd remebered.
 
Just finished 'A Feast for Crows'.

I almost gave up half way through as it seemed to be going nowhere slowly. I'm glad I didn't as it picked up pace in the second half. Nowhere near as good as it predecessors.

Next up, I think I'll give 'Catching Fire' a go since I enjoyed 'The Hunger Games'. Something short and easy before I hit 'A Dance with Dragons'.
