Ive been reading the Nick Stone series of books, by Andy Mcnab, i find them very good books, if you like that sort of thing.
He`s an ex SAS turned deniable operator, someone who gets all the jobs no one else will do, they`re really good.

What is everyone else reading? If anything at all lol!!

Gossip magazines DO NOT COUNT!!

Hey Michael - there is an iphone app for audio books!!

I am an avid reader. I just finished reading a few books in the Confessions of a Shopaholic series. I then saw the movie and was disappointed they moved the setting out of jolly old England to New York City.

I am currently reading "The Sisterhood Series" by Fern Michaels. It is about a sisterhood of American woman in the US, lead by a man (of course) who is an ex MI6 agent transplanted in the US. The women extract revenge on the villains who have wronged them. Each book is a "mission" for one of the women in the sisterhood. I read one book a long time ago and just now came across another so am now reading the series from the beginning.

I also am reading several books on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. One of the girls I work with has FAS and I am reading books to help me figure out how to best help her. It is a huge challenge.

Hmm I'm not reading anything so serious!

Read the Dexter Omnibus (first 3 books) recently, not bad, although I'd say the TV show is superior in many many ways. You don't hear that too often

Apart from that I really read to be entertained, so I read a lot of science fiction, fantasy, and horror novels. I've been reading a few I 'aquired' online in txt format, good to pass some time between work!
Some of it may sound nerdy but that's ok, I find star trek novels quite entertaining, also some of the core dragonlance, and some more obscure fantasy.
Also some 'hard' sci fi, Dragon's Egg & Starquake for example (a race that develops on a collapsed dwarf star, and their human observers in orbit)

Horror I love pure cheese. Graham Masterton and Shaun Hutson are good for this. Violence, curses, magic, monsters, gratuitous sex scenes, it's just like watching a movie


I was considering buying the Buffy graphic novels today, at least the first two collections which act as 'Season 8', written by Joss Whedon still so it's a continuation...

i borrowed a book from a friend... "the emperor's bones", by adam williams. its not what i usually read, but its not too bad. other than that, i have four books sitting in my bookcase waiting for me to read...
"move to strike" by sydney bauer
"first family" by david baldacci
"the scarecrow" by michael connelly
"true detectives" by jonathan kellerman
i love psychological thrillers and espionage-type stories, so i really should give the andy mcnab books a go.

I finished Eoin Colfer's Airman last week and Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers the week before. Read a book on Ryanair when I was in in Italy 4 weeks ago and finished Ted Simon's Jupiter's Travels about 5 mins ago

I started a Monty Python Biography Saturday and the 1st Harry Potter again this morning

I read a lot

I've been reading a lot of books about stock exchange the last months, but before that I read Sergey Lukyanenko's Watch-Tetralogy, which I highly recommend!!! Up next will be some german detective story.

I'm a lot into audio books as well, right now I am listening to Harry Potter 5 (for the 8th or 9th time!!! )

I'm on a classics kick lately, just finished Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson, now I'm working on The Lair Of The White Worm by Bram Stoker. I've also been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss, Bernstein Bears, Clifford The Big Red Dog and assorted similar books, I've got a 2 year old and a 4 year old, honestly!

Hey Mark nothing wrong with Dr Suess books, I made my lad keep them so I could still read them Green eggs and ham is a classic.


Anyway I just about finished Watchers by Dean Koontz and have just read Marley and me. If you have a dog its a really good read (well untilyou get to the end where you will sob your heart out).

I've been having a go at some of the classics as well, not long read Lord of the Flies which was very good.
