I just got 'only revolutions' by Mark Z Danielewski.
It has the most mental format I've ever seen.
You read it upside down to get another characters perspective.
Also the first page needs to be read in a mirror.

Looking for something very good to read.

No much of a reader usually so it needs to be something that'll keep me interested.

That's it really..hopefully enough for you to work on! ;)

the time wasters letters by robin cooper (v funny), or the allen clark diaries if you like eccentric politics.

Thanks for the info so far.

Probably looking for a thriller...some kind of Grisham novel or something like that. I'm really out of the loop on the must-reads.


Anything by Tom Clancy? Opcentre, Net force, the ones with Jack Ryan etc...

‘The Curious Incident Of the Dog In the Night-time’

Excellent book..really very good :D

Dagnamit, you beat me to it ;)

Also, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas - whatever you do, don't tell anyone what it's about. The best way to read it is to go into it completely unaware of it. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
