Garcia24 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Looking forward to getting some fresh reading ideas from you all. Tend to stick to crime/thriller fiction but also enjoy a laugh, just finished Yes Man which I really enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Welcome here! We have several other people here who read thrillers and crime fiction. I used to read these genres a lot when I was a teenager, but I read less of them nowadays (I call crime fiction a Dutch word 'detective' which isn't correct in English but it is in Dutch, I'm from the Netherlands). What are some of your favourites? Is Yes Man the book from which the film Yes Man was made? Last week I bought it on DVD but I haven't watched it yet.

Garcia24 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks for the welcome. Yes Man is a funny yet thought provoking book by Danny Wallace. My crime fiction tends to be from Lee Childs, James Patterson and Tami Hoag. I got hooked by Guilty As Sin by Tami Hoag when on holiday around ten years ago. Fancy myself as a bit of an amateur detective trying to work out who done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signor Finzione Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Welcome to the forum Garcia! Nice to see another new face. Is Yes Man the book from which the film Yes Man was made? Last week I bought it on DVD but I haven't watched it yet. Ooh, the film is brilliant! (I thought so anyway.) Hope you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
