Every book by Amelie Nothomb... clever, funny, twisted literature.

Looked for him today at the library but never had any in.

Got Rivers of Babylon and Gold Coast by Nelson de Mille and Body Language by James Hall (This guy is an excellent author)

I look for James Hall as well.

http://www.leechild.com/ Bit weird that he treats his hero almost like a real person , but the books are great.

Another one I like is Harlan Corbin. I love Carl Hiaasen, bit quirky, very environmentally friendly. Not everyone's taste.

His earlier stuff is superb.....Sick Puppy one of his best....one of his recent ones about his golfing exploits didn't quite hit the mark

Time for some Elmore Leonard, Up in Honey's Room

Re: What book are you reading now?

Loved Sick Puppy !! My first Carl Hiaasen !! Actually bought it in an op shop in England and bought it home to read!! Haven't read anything about golfing yet. As I find golf pretty boring unless you are playing , might just skip those!

I've probably read most of Elmore Leonard as well.

Funny, I would have expected Floridaorange to be here saying "single eh" by now

I must be in an English mood, started Elizabeth George "Careless In Red " Last night.

These are on my next up list:

New Neal Stephenson:



Almost 1000 pages long and it sounds awesome.

This is supposed to be pretty good too and packed with lots of 80s references.

I started on Ready Player One but it's on hold at the moment 'cos before that I just read Reynold's House of Suns which I thought was really good, couldn't follow up with Ready Player One.

Currently reading Reynold's Terminal World which unfortunately is not as good as House of Suns.

Reamde's premise sounds similar to Stross' Halting State, whose sequel Rule 34 I just read before House of Suns. But will probably give Reamde a shot, been years since I read Stephenson.
