What's the best book you've read lately?

I forgot to say, my most recently read good book, although I'm a bit behind the times with this is 'Angels & Demons' - Dan Brown.

Have you read 'Moab is my washpot' - Stephen Fry's autobiography? His honesty (often self humiliating) and humour make it a great read. I would recommend it.

I'll keep that in mind.

I bet it is very interesting. Especially if it covers the period when he went AWOL, which was a very testing time for him.

h1r3z, I read that book too, excellent. You would probably like 'The Last Templar', very fascinating, I've just finished reading it and it's very thought-provoking

i love true stories ~ the last 3 books I read were all bought from Val and were all brilliant ~ I keep checking out your auctions Val, and will be buying again as soon as i see a book that takes my fancy :O)
One of the most horrific true stories I have ever read was years ago called "five chimneys" ~ still have the book altho the pages are now really yellow, but refuse to dump it as it was so
moving and frightening and unbelievably gory! (all about auchwitz concentration camp) (not sure i have spelt that correctly). that book had a massive impact on me, as it was oneof the first true stories i had ever read, and have been hooked ever since.

Another true story I read was called 'Perfect Victim' by Carla McGuire & Carla Norton, a true story about a 17 yr old kidnapped girl kept in a box under the bed for years and treated as a sex slave and worse,and even when she was finally freed by the authorities she went back to them because she was so conditioned, gave me the creeps.

On a much lighter note, I'm enjoying "Two for the Lions" a Falco novel. Falco is a Roman detective. It is all the better for Rome being so recognisable (went there for the first time in May)

I'm into regency romance at the moment,the rigid rules they lived by, are so humorous by today's standards, I love them all.

I haven't read that one, thanks for mentioning it, I'll look out for it.

Another good one by Stephen Fry is called 'The Liar' - If you like Stephen Fry (and his work) I think you'll enjoy it.

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I found this one the best of his novels.

Just reading Calvin & Hobbes - The Days Are Just Packed.

May not be a novel but still excellent!

Just finished Saucer by Stephen Coonts. Nothing special but an entertaining SF thriller.
