Favourite books?!

[Alien DNA]

A few of my favourites are

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
13 books so far last one out next year



Probably my all time favourite the biography of Charles Bean ............ legend

A massive read but well worth it




That Skunkworks book looks interesting I might chase it up

The good lady wife adores the Wheel Of Time.....shes already stressing that it will be the last one I just cant see myself reading ALL those.....bloody massive undertaking!!!

I'll have to look into this Charles Bean fella

How good is Keif's book?!?! I love the story of the Stones travelling in the Southern State of the US in the 60's. They hired an old car and filled it with coke and grass even inside the door panels but left the drugs in the car while on tour!

Keif reckons there is an old lady driving around Texas with a few kg's of drugs in her car.

Great read indeed!!
Those were hard time for colored people and the law didnt look too kindly on the Stones either!! Amazing how the walked into a black bar and the whole place stopped when they waked in thinking there was trouble afoot.
Geez they got away by the skin of their teeth with that incident!!!
Cant help but have a soft spot for Keif...he makes the best pirate too!!! Just gotta stay out of the trees

This one is also interesting.......these guys took so much drugs even Alice Cooper freaked out!!!

I know its not a book as such, but the National Geographic mags are also pretty awesome!!

And also a big high 5 to Stephen King and Clive Barker!!

I read Don't tell mum I work on the rigs... awhile ago. Good book.

A couple of other good books I've read recently are 3 men in a raft, and 5 months in a leaky boat, both by Ben Kozel.

Reacquainted myself with a couple of classics lately.....H.G Wells.....pure class
So much better than any movie adaptation.

I have read most of the Wilbur Smith books, Sunbird is a ripper as were River God and the follow ons... Also like James Patterson and Bryce Courtney.

I picked up Inca Gold by Clive Cussler as something to read on the plane while working in Papua New Guinea in the mid 90's and enjoyed it so much I have since read every book ever written by Clive Cussler, great books if you enjoy adventure.

The book Sahara was made into a movie starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruze.

Yep, Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt series was awesome. The Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series was also really good and the Jason Bourne trilogy is excellent.

Don't get a great deal of time for Books , too impatient , but love the Talking Books , keep you awake on those long drives. John Grisham , David Baldacci , Andy McNab , some of the best i've heard..

And I thought we were all a bunch of mechanics that only read workshop manuals and "Street Machine"!

I don't know where anyone gets the time now with this interwebby thingy taking up valuable reading time.

[V8VAN]

I don't get as much time to read as I used to with the kids and work etc.

But I've got and/or read most of Robert Ludlum, Stephen King, Wilbur Smith etc's books. Among many others.
