| Quote: Tin Soldier "Just finished a book called 61 Hours (Jack Reacher series by Lee Child). Best book I've read in ages.'"
Read this not long ago as well. Lee child books are good holiday reads.
My book should all read is Lord of the flies by William Goulding.
Current Reading The reversal by michael connelly,

| I'm currently reading Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Great fantasy book. Started reading it to coincide with the airing of the tv show. I personally feel it was about time the fantasy genre got more recognition (obviously excusing Lord of the rings).
My favourite books are those of David Gemmell - a fantastic heroic fantasy writer.
Everyone should read Joe Abercrombie. If Gemmell and R.R. Martin had a kid, that would be Abercrombie.

| The book I always recommend is Birdsong by Sebastien Faulk. I don't read much fiction but I picked this up while travelling in a book swap thing in a hostel and I thought it was fantastic, very powerful and haunting storyline based around the trenches of World War I
A book I got recently which I didn't think would be good, but was, is "Beyond the Crash" by Gordon Brown, he wrote it in a couple of months after being voted out last year, and it's actually a very revealing and interesting account of the financial crisis and Brown's dealings with some of the shady characters in the big banks who were trying to blag the government as well as everybody else. It's not too long a book either so one you can read quite quickly and it does shed light on what was going on.

| Now reading Redemption Ark by Alistair Reynolds. He's an ex astro-physicist, so the science fiction is based very much on the art of the possible. It's brilliant stuff. Also like Iain M Banks. Best book is tricky...but probably The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.

| I'm just reading the Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest, which is the third of a trilogy.
Book 1 is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Book 2 is The Girl Who Played with Fire.
All fantastic reads.
Kris Radlinskis autobiography is also a very good read for any RL fan.

I read all three on holiday recently. Really enjoyed them. The books were published posthumously, so we won't be hearing any more from Lisbeth Salander.
I liked the bit right at the end of the third book, were she........
Only kidding.

| "My Bit: A Lancashire Fusilier at War" by George Ashurst .
This is the true story of a Wigan lad who fought in most of the major battles of the first world war. An amazing read.

George R R Martin is a great shout, G, A Song of Ice and Fire - he's really paved the way for modern fantasy writing now. And Abercrombie is a delicious writer. Hugely influential the pair of them (and I speak from experience )
