I've decided to give up smoking once and for all and to cut down on the boozy nights for 2008 and to help with this strategy I'll be having more cozy nights in.

I like reading and was wondering what fiction you chaps are into reading right now.

TIA

I got Patricia Cornwells new book called "Book of the Dead" and it is fabulous also reading Jeremy Clarkson "The World According to Clarkson"

Was never into reading at all and somebody said read The Body Farm also by Patricia Cornwell and i have been hooked ever since, if your into crime and such you'll love her.

i'm rereading two old favourites, Song Of Albion Pt.3 by Stephen Lawhead, and The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour.

@haynesycop

I confess I have never read a crime story. I like horror but honestly, I would give anything a try. The last book I read was Angels and Demons and that was a good few months ago.

That is an amazing book could not put that down read it in 1 day, never got into Angels & Demons may dig it out again. If you don't mind gore then try her out especially the Kay Scarpetta novels, i suggest;

The Body Farm
Book of the Dead
Postmortem

Also have you read the one by Dave Pelzer i think his name is? It's a true story about child abuse it is pretty sick but it is such i good read if you get me. He did other books but the first is the best, "A Child Called It"

Once you've finished The Da Vinci Code have a crack at Digital Fortress. Brilliant stuff

I'm on with Messiah, which is what the TV series is based on. But I have also been gifted Jeremy Clarkson's new book too, so Messiah has taken a bit of a back seat lol.

ATM I'm reading "Villains" by Paul Ferris

Very good read. Recommend it to anyone who like true crimes.

Also had a read at "Gangland Glasgow" by Robert Jeffrey but it was a huge let down

@TheLostProphet

The last Stephen King book I read was Dolores Claibourne which was quite good, probably the best Ste King I had read, although there are plenty of King that I haven't read yet.

I've also read some MR James and some Edgar Allen Poe ghost stories which were terrificly atmospheric stories.

Haynesycop seems to read the same books as myself!

All of the Kay Scarpetta Novels are great and really interesting and quite educational.

I have also got into Michael Connelly who writes about a detective called Hieronymus Bosch and they too are an excellent read!

Also Katherine Fox is another, a bit along the lines of Cornwell and also quite good but I have only read one of her Novels

I also enjoy Lynda La Plante she's is a gifted author!

Failing that try the Beano!
