His autobiography, And Away, is a really good read. Very similar tone to the Gone Fishing show. Lovely.Bob Mortimer, The Satsuma Complex. It's similar to Richard Osman books and you can almost hear Bob Mortimer speaking the lines. It is very him. It isn't going to win prizes but it is a very easy way to pass the time.
Yes, I've read that as well. Very moving at times. He just comes across as a nice guy.His autobiography, And Away, is a really good read. Very similar tone to the Gone Fishing show. Lovely.
Don't forget they also put two or three books together, so, conversely, some characters don't appear in the show because there's not the arc for them. I really enjoyed both the books and the show. I don't care that Titus Welliver didn't have a moustache! ?I did it the other way around. Saw the TV series and then decided to read the books. Inevitably I see the form of the characters as per the TV series but that's okay. At least I can't get grumpy about them being different to how I visualised them ?.
The one I'm struggling with so far is Jerry Edgar, I'm 4 books in. I liked him in the TV show but in the books he isn't overly likeable so far. Maybe they softened him in the TV show, maybe the actor is too nice and I warm to him when I shouldn't?
Lots of characters missing so far. I'm interested to see if they appear in the books at some point or whether they were purely created for the show.
That's interesting, I didn't realise that.Don't forget they also put two or three books together, so, conversely, some characters don't appear in the show because there's not the arc for them. I really enjoyed both the books and the show. I don't care that Titus Welliver didn't have a moustache! ?

After Treasure Island you could also read The Coral Island by R.M.Ballantine. Similar sort of boys own adventure stuff…I love it. And also of that nature A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes is also a good readJust re-read 1984, and am now on Treasure Island... classic boy's own adventure
Currently reading A Tale of Two Cities. But only an hour or so to go.After Treasure Island you could also read The Coral Island by R.M.Ballantine. Similar sort of boys own adventure stuff…I love it. And also of that nature A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes is also a good read

Had to laugh about the tash. Some fans get so protective about adaptations, Lord of the Rings, Dune, The Witcher, Bosch etc. They are allowed some licence, it really doesn't make that much of a difference.
I really enjoyed the Bosch series, I'm enjoying the books just as much now.
That's absolutely fine. The films may well have inspired many to read the books though, that's no bad thing.The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit adaptions although cinematically brilliant aren't brilliant if you love the books as much as I do!
