Am out of decent books to read. Recommend something

[Skweeky]

I'm sick of that no brain James Patterson and Quentin Jardine nonsense. Suggest something decent or do something else.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez- 100 Years Of Solitude.

Great book.

[Skweeky]

Sounds good, I read some of his stuff previous. Liked it. 'Of love and other deamons'

[chalice]

Yeah, Love In The Time Of Cholera is super too.

Watched the film the other night as it happens. Loses a lot in the translation, though.

[Skweeky]

I might give it a go reading it in Spanish.

The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas - very compulsive read

[tralalala]

I enjoyed "The Afghan".. Got me deeply interested in Islam and how it developed into all the different sects, Wahabbism and all that.. Fascinating :yes:

Bought this afternoon and just finished reading it:

The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

by Mark Haddon

It's a story told from the perspective of a 15-year old boy who has Asperger's.
Absolutely amazing read. Loved it!
