Book recommendations

[laurence]

Inconvenient People by Sarah Wise is excellent. it's the story of lunacy laws in victoria england... it's a great read, full of warmth and often funny... although some parts are frustratingly awful (the subject matter, not the actual book).

The Final Voyage of Donald Crowhurst is one of the best books i've read.

i'm into non-fiction and biogs at the moment and the above two are among the best ones i've read.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Terry Pratchett

Especially the novels featuring the 'City Watch'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork_City_Watch

This sub-section of Pratchetts works include, in the Watch; Humans (including 'Nobby', who has to carry a certificate to prove that he is....), Dwerves, Werewolves (Sergeant Angua is one!), Trolls & Golems!!

Angua
Adora Dearheart (from, TV adaptation of, 'Going Postal')
Susan (Deaths daughter.... long story...)

The brother cadfael books are good as well. Medieval mysteries based in Shrewsbury.

Dan Brown - Inferno.

I avoided the Dan Brown Da Vinci hype completely but I accidentally found myself reading Inferno before I knew it was by Dan Brown as it would have put me off, and it's well worth a read, I'd guess it's a mix between history/thriller.

Lee Child's books about Jack Reacher make for enjoyable reading.

Jo Nesbo is in a league of his own with the Harry Hole books.
