Any other avid readers out there?

while titles are being hurled out at random 🙂 ,i would suggest both works of
robert pirsig, "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" and "lila".

Has no one mentionned Catch 22? It really is jolly good.

I also like all the books written by John Grisham. Very good writer.

As some of my opponents will know, I have a Ladybird book on
almost all subjects... my favourite at the moment is:

"The Ladybird book of vaguely Russian sounding chess openings"

😉😉😉

'Atonement' (Ian McEwan) and 'White Noise' (Don De Lillo) broke my heart and opened my mind
more than anything this year.

Royalchicken: I'm a big fan of RP – fancy a game and a chat?

I read anything by Michael Crichton or Richard Marcinko!

novaboy- i'd love a game and a chat.

My personal literary gods:
Ray Bradbury-- king of them all. Greatest American writer ever, in my opinion.
John Irving
Edgar Allan Poe
Frederick Exley
Hubert Selby (Last Exit to Brooklyn, Requiem for a Dream)
Thomas Ligotti (you have to be a serious horror fan to know who he is...)
Barbara Kingsolver-- this woman should be president
Arthur Machen
Lester Bangs
Nimzo😉
I could go on all day.

What about Fyodor Dostoevsky i read Crime and Punishment a few years ago an absolute classic and i've just finished The Idiot (by the same) probably one of the greatest books that's ever been written!
