Anybody reading a good book that they'd recommend.

I've recently read some of the Sharpe series. He's a 17th or 18th century Infantry man for the British Army, who goes through some battles in India, next book is Trafalgar. They are fiction but follow the battles fairly close, fun swashbuckler.

Also been reading some John Le Carre. He does spy novels and they're top notch. "Little and Little", Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,(start of a three book series, movie has recently been remade with Garry Oldman in cinemas now) and Our Kind of Traitor. Richard burton starred in a movie from his book The Spy Who Came in fron the Cold. He has others.

While back it was Jack White's Dream of Eagles, loved that series.

Dream of Eagles is a fantastic series. Just finished reading Jack Whyte's Forest Laird, which is about William Wallace. It's more Robin Hood than Braveheart.

Currently working on Dances with Dragons, the 5th in the Game of Thrones series. This just may be my all time favourite series, I really love how Martin does his characters. World War Z is up next.

I tend to go through books really quickly, about 4-5 in a month.

All the Jack Ryan novels by Tom Clancy... amazing mix of espionage, marine warfare, terrorism. Actually much less pro-military propaganda than i figured going into them but I was totally enthralled by each one of the series I've read. The ones that they made movies of were great, but the ones that they didn't make movies of were even better.

For me i like reading good historical books on ww2 and philosophy and so it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but two good ones are Mein Kampf ( Reasoning and History of the nazi party) and the God Delusion by richard Dawkins, as i said this may not be everyone's cup of tea but these are two books i found very fascinating while i was reading.


all the best,

Tom Clancy books are good. I just started the second book in the Game Of Thrones series. Really good read. I like pretty much anything by Wilber Smith. If you get the Courtney series it is great. Follows one family from the late 1600's until the early 1900's. About 20 books in that series I think.

I've currently got several books on the go. Reaching the Animal Mind by Karen Pryor, Swimming Underground: My Years in the Warhol Factory by Mary Woronov & always fall back on John Saul books for fictional horror
