taxman Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett going well with the series now ( must buy more!!!!!) I found Last Continent one of the weakest in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollyrocker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've not long finished Irvine Welsh's sequel to Trainspotting, "Porno". Might be tricky to follow the dialect if you haven't frequented these parts in the past but it is an amazing read and absolutely hilarious. I preferred it to Trainspotting! I also read they are trying to get the cast together to make the film adaptation too, would love to see it on the big screen too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Landscape with violence by John Wainwright. Prolific crime novelist Wainwright was a Yorkshireman and wrote like a Yorkshireman, you can almost imagine Fred Truman doing the audiobook. Most of his books are set in a fictional conurbation that is pretty obviously based on Leeds, and I always find them a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickw Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I found Last Continent one of the weakest in the series. They all have their own merits I liked it Now moved on a few and I am currently reading Unseen Academicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 They all have their own merits I liked it Now moved on a few and I am currently reading Unseen Academicals. Again, not one of my favourites, especially after the heights of Nightwatch and Thud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joinerisme Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Sex Lives Of Siamese Twins-Irvine Welsh. Not sure if it's meant to be a comedy or a drama,but some strange chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focemal Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Just finished 10 Rillington Place about the murderer John Christie by Ludovic Kennedy. A chilling tale and a searing indictment of the judicial process that resulted in the hanging of the innocent Timothy Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Trashy horror for me, with The Fungus by Harry Adam Knight (who was really John Brosnan under another name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. A great read. I hoped it was building up to an explosive conclusion - but I felt the conclusion didn't really finish the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
