Robert E Howard's Hour of the Dragon

That's a good one! My experience with Howard is limited to Conan and Kull, but I really like him.

[Qwerty]

Jack and Jill by James Patterson.

Hawke by Ted Bell. Very fast read. Hard to put down. If you're looking for a great adventure novel, definitely try this one. There are even a couple James Bond references inside.

The Hawke series is great. The exposition to his life with his parents on their boat is so gripping.

My wife would like to offer you two gentlemen a thank you. Based on your recommendations she bought 'Hawke', and she's loving it.

Hurricane Gold.

[Qwerty]

Roger Moore's Bond diary from Live and Let Die. Soon to be replaced by Hurricane Gold I'm betting.

[DaveBond21]

"Up the duff" the hilarious pregnancy guide by Kaz Cooke.

[manfromjapan]

The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. Terrific stuff, but the book is so long and epic in size that it is taking longer than most novels for me to read. When Hurricane Gold arrives I will read it immediately and then try and get through Supremacy, Ultimatum and Legacy. Have a ton of unread books in my apartment!! Just got the 3rd and $th Alex Rider books too. Don't laugh!! They are great.

[Keir]

Really engrossed in Niall Ferguson's The War of the World, which throws an hand grenade at everything I teach in my class.

[Agent 0015]

The Other Boyeln Girl, Marie Antoinette, and The Professor and the Madman. (School! Ugh!)

[Qwerty]

Cat & Mouse by James Patterson.

Re-reading THE SKELETON CREW by Stephen King


I hope that THE MIST is a good adaptation when it comes out in theatres.

Almost finnished Saturday by Ian McEwan

[Double-0-7]

The first of the Joyce Carrington trilogy. Just started the second chapter, but I enjoyed the PTS!

Starting Hurricane Gold.

Just bought and starting on CREEPERS by David Morell

[Scottlee]

Just been given the novel Scarface for my birthday. It's based on the film so should be interesting.

Your welcome!! In fact, over the summer I read the sequel to Hawke, Assassin. It was just as gripping as the first, and your wife would probably enjoy that as well.

Recently read Dan Brown's Deception Point and Gardner's Nobody Lives Forever. Both were great.

I'm sure she will.

I've just finished 'Skulduggery Pleasant' by Derek Landy. Derek posts on a forum I regularly lurk at, so I thought I'd give his book a punt. The title character is a sorcerer whose body was destroyed in a magic war centuries before. He now exists as an animated skeleton who earns a living as an occult detective. After the death of a successful horror novelist he teams with the writer's niece to solve the murder, stumbling upon a conspiracy that threatens all humankind (naturally).

Lot of funny dialogue, lot of action and fast paced. Put me in mind of Russell T. Davies era Doctor Who, especially the by-play between the two lead characters.

Starting the short, but entertaining Pistache collection by Sebastian Faulks.

[Harmsway]

DRACULA by Bram Stoker (and illustrated by Jae Lee)

It's a beautiful edition of the king of horror novels. The story is classic, and that says enough. What elevates this edition is Jae Lee's magnificent artwork, which brings a refreshingly contemporary edge to this old tale.

Just starting Engleby by Sebastian Faulks.

Scarface the novel. It seems to be absolutely nothing like the Oliver Stone film though.
