youngindia Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Nice thread' date=' the Internet age has caused a drastic reduction in book reading (speaking for myself).[/quote'] try audio books. u can save money as well with pirated downloads:) I havent read much Clive Cussler - heard those are good - Any Cussler fans here - can you comment? mostly adventure type.blows hot and cold. remember "sahara"? its his. Ofcourse as a kid (though that is not what Domaink was asking) Secret Seven, Famous Five and Nancy Drew :woot: and hardy boys? agatha christie? i recall there were far more girls at the "mills and boons" section in the libraries than at these :) how did you acquire a boy's taste?? Tintin and Asterix :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX_1138 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Jeffery Archer is good- Cain and Abel is one of his better ones- i think ive read most of his books- maybe not the more recent ones though The Dan Brown books are good thrillers. P D James is an EXCELLENT mystery writer. Im a massive Stephen King fan and have read most of his books- especially the early ones are all very good. Pet Sematary, The Stand, The Shining Dead Zone- this just off the top of my head. I read fantasy as well and David Gemell is a class act, bit of a guilty pleasure. Of the more current reads- I havent read many thrillers but I can recommned some good books- Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell The Life of Pi by Yann Martell Ive just read a book called Money by Martin Amis which was very funny, its oldish i wont call her that... but her thrillers are epic. i read children of men and the skull beneath the skin... both were really good. if you want a good stephen king, read 4 past midnight, its a collection of 4 semi novellas. the first one, the langoliers is my absolute favorite.

DomainK Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 More suggestions please. Please suggest some new novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Absolute Power by David Baldacci. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (IMO his best book - better than Da Vinci and much, much better than the Lost Symbol). The Man by Irving Wallace. If you want Murder Mysteries then books by Ian Rankin (especially the Inspector Rebus series) are quite good. Also, the Ian Rutledge series by Charles Todd is quite good. Also read James Bond by Ian Fleming - most of the books are actually good. The Last Testament and The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne. If you like Historical Fiction then go for Conn Iggulden books - he has written two series' of books, Emperor Series (on Julius Caeser) and Conqueror Series (on Genghis Khan). Eye of the needle by Ken Follet. day of the jackal by frederick forsyth. p.s. I've got these and many more e-books if you want :secret: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainK Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I am done reading all of Lee Child's novels. They are not perfect, but great page turners. Reacher is an interesting character and some of Child's narratives and very gripping. Now, I need more recommendations. Something similar to Child would be nice. Or anything else, cool and griping.

Sooda Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 What about IT' date=' my favourite by King.
