vinnyt77 Along_the_Wire Kevin Sampson’s worth a punt. Powder’s probably my favourite of his - very Niven-esque, but they’re all readworthy.
Kells77 Finished up the Stephen Fry books on the Greeks - Mythos, Heroes, and Troy (although I think there’s one more in the works about the Odyssey) and now reading “Caligula” by Simon Turney. After that, another book by Turney - “Commodus”.
bosstrabs Dubmick https://www.vulture.com/article/best-books-21st-century-so-far.html Probably only read about 20% of these, still it’s a good list of recommendations. Personally, I loved The Corrections and Platform.
Dubmick bosstrabs Thanks for that will check it out. Love all Franzan’s books, would consider re-reading. Good oul platform. Great bit of filth in his books lol.
bosstrabs Mad_Cyril Interesting Houellebecq fact: While his brother Danny kept the English spelling of the name, Michael adopted a French spelling to ensure literary success.
LT42 ‘Blood Gun Money’ by Ioan Grillo, about how America supplies the weaponry and fuels the drug wars. Holy shit!
Smallman1 LT42 ‘Blood Gun Money’ by Ioan Grillo, about how America supplies the weaponry and fuels the drug wars. Holy shit! Any cop? Sounds mustard!
LT42 Smallman1 brilliant book imo, Grillo has been deep in Mexico since around 2003, fantastic journalist
Jules72 I started reading the Last Samurai from Dave’s list….was top of the list basically …intriguing so far
Homegrove Tarantino wrote a novelisation for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hundred pages in and it’s quite decent. No surprises that the dialogue is the best part. Otherwise it reads a bit like a pulp novel, which is also pretty fitting.
