Finished of The Forever War a few days ago. I really liked it. Interesting take on the pointlessness of war.

Jack the Ripper's 'autobiography'. I'll wait to see some reviews before I decide if I want to read it.

It's fiction and not great fiction at that.

 

[Ahmed]

A Clash Of Kings.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

It's fiction and not great fiction at that.

How do you know it's fiction? It's supposed to be unclear whether it's really him that wrote it.

Just got the latest book in the Saxon Tales on my Kindle. Count Von Babbenburg rides again!

There is absoutely no proof that whoever wrote this manuscript was the murderer known as Jack the Ripper. It is not an "autobiography of Jack the Ripper" that is just a title used to sensationalize it. Some people really liked it, I didn't, but that could be taste.

Check out Forever Peace. Follows similar themes. His writing improved tremendously as well.

Have a bunch of books incoming this Monday - Philip Kerr's 'The One From The Other', 'A Quiet Flame', 'If The Dead Rise Not' and 'Field Gray.'

Really liking these "noir" crime mysteries lately.

read niccolo ammaniti's "I'm not scared", for all the reviews I assume it must've been brilliant in Italian, and Jonathan Hunt's translation didn't do it justice at all I suppose

 

[Lilith]

A Song of Fire and Ice

 

[sallyinzaghi]

alan paton's "cry, the beloved country"

I'm on my first day of "La casa de los espíritus" by Allende. The first book in a new language is usually a struggle at first, but I can follow it reasonably well. The writing is quite compelling at times, liking it so far.

Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watson, very taste like Memento movie, very predictable but very good end

i've read two novels by Michael Palmer, Fatal and The First Patient , they two are medical thrill, and highly recommended it!!

Good choice, once you read it, you'll also want 2 and 3.

2x

Already on the second one now, shits amazing.

 

[A͎u͎s͎h͎]

So I thought of getting either 'The Girl With...' or the new Sherlock Holmes novel... Instead I ended up ordering 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' by Le Carre.

Get the first one.

 

[Enron]

Yeah, you can probably get a decent box set for cheap.
