Got to say that they are good reading, some good characters throughout the series.
My favourite has got to be Brian Scott ( don't know what it is but somehow seem to relate to him more easily than the other bods involved;))
Laid my grubby little paws on 2 of the Daniel Silva series ( as recco'd on here )-was up rather late this a.m. getting halfway thro' 'The Black Widow'-good, believable premis for story!!
Finished 'Landslide-Trump, The last 100 days'--guy was totally off his head-actually quite frightening that someone with such an ego, level of inattention and high levels of basic stupidity could get his finger on the nuclear button--OOPS, wait have we not got the Eton version:rolleyes: in No.10 + a load of chancers going along for the ride/money??)
Am I allowed to say-'God help us'?
 
The Man who Died Twice, the latest Richard Osman book. Just as good as his first Thursday Murder Club, this is a sequel.

All very jolly, all very English, great characters. A book to make the world seem that bit nicer.
 
Resurrection Men, Ian Rankin. The first Rebus book that I haven't enjoyed. Annoyingly I'm going to have to finish it in case anything happens that impacts later books. Disappointing.
 
So have caught up with the Jack Reacher and Mitch Rapp series of books so looking for something else to start, any suggestions ?

Because I haven’t commuted for 2 years now I am behind in both.
Does Reacher go upmarket? I see he has a sponsorship deal with Charles Tyrwhitt, and as far as I read he was always a buy and dump kind of guy ;-)

If you like Reacher more try John Milton, if you preferred Rapp then Scott Harvard might be a good next step.
 
Le Carre's The Honourable Schoolboy, the second part of the Smiley/Karla Trilogy

The Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald will keep you occupied for several months. Sort of a Reacher type character, but set in the 60s, 70s and 80s and he doesn't leave nearly as many bodies in his wake. Great verbal portrayal of Florida.
Classic drifter/equaliser stuff.
 
Kaz, LT, Paperboy, Spongebob59..........Thanks for the help folks!!
Now this simple soul understands why he couldn't find any books by 'THE AUTHOR-JON REZNICK'-Doh:confused::whistle:
Maybe I'll get on with the NEW system at the library now that I know what to look for??:LOL:

South. The story of Ernest Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica in 1914/15. I’ve read it before but a long time ago. Incredible tale of hardship and survival.

Just about to start getting into 'The Endurance'-Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expidition by Caroline Alexander nd Photography by Frank Hurley.
Astonishing recovered photography and the diaries of the crew members about what happened.
Jeez, these guys' had massive cojones knowing (or not) what was going to happen to them!!
