Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: what are you all reading?
I read a particular genre, started by reading " without fail" by Lee Child.
I've gone on to read all his novels and I really like Vince Flynn " Mitch Rapp" series.
jack Higgins " Sean Dillon "
Matt Hilton
Stephen Leather "Dan Shephard"
Tom Wood
Tom Cain
Barry Eisler
Chris Ryan
All the above well worth a read if you like that type of book.
Just started reading Brad Thor " Scot Harveth" series while on holiday here in sunny Orlando Florida ( when we are not at the parks )

I've been a big fan of Lee Child for years. It was only when I learnt his real name that I vaguely recalled having spoken with him years ago when he worked for Granada TV.michael inch stoke wrote:I read a particular genre, started by reading " without fail" by Lee Child.

Read all Stephen Leather's Spider Shepherd books. Matt Hilton is in my Facebook. Unlike other 'celebs', authors tend to welcome comments, suggestions and messages and always reply to fans.
A few months back, I tweeted Peter James and pointed out that at one point in his latest book, he called Roy Grace 'Jack Nightingale' by mistake. He replied very quickly that he knew about it and the error had been corrected in further editions!
Re: what are you all reading?
Can't beat abit of Wilbur Smith, brought up on his books when we lived in East Africa. Currently reading Pharaoh by David Gibbons, think Indiana Jones crossed with Dan Brown.

The latest Dan Brown (Inferno) is very good.josie andrews wrote:I've got Wilbur Smith's latest also Dan Brown's on my kindle, they're in the queue to be read
I'm currently into James Patterson (he wrote Along Came A Spider and Kiss The Girls which were made into films starring Morgan Freeman). His 'Private' series and the Michael Bennett or Alex Cross series are very good reads.
