[Goodreads]

Just registered on Goodreads, can someone tell me how i can do a search on the highest rated books on the site? I am having a little trouble working that out.............

[Recommend books for me....]

Based on the following information would any of you be so kind to suggest some authors, or specific book titles, that you think i might enjoy reading.

 

Books i've enjoyed:

 

Birdsong - Sabastien Faulks - War Fiction

A Question of Honour - L.Olsen. S.Cloud - War History

Bob Dylan - Chronicles Vol.1 - Music Autobiography

Elmore Leonard - Crime Fiction

Casino - Nicholas Pileggi - True Crime

Gone For Good - Harlan Coben - Fiction

The Beach - Alex Garland

 

 

Books i've recently read but did not rate highly:

 

No Country For Old Men - Cormac McCarthy

(Got off to a flier but i found it started to drag and had no closure that was so desperate'ly needed)

 

Yellow Dog - Martin Amis

(Another with a good start but the endings were seemed so clumsilly pulled together that it ruined the book for me)

 

Oryx and Crake - Margaret Attwood

(A well hyped book that i found somewhat interesting but would rather avoid reading in the future)

 

I'm not overly interested in reading old time classics like Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mocking Bird.

 

Books i currently have on order:

Point of Impact & Dirty White Boys by Stephen Hunter.

I have yet to read anything by Stephen Hunter but i have the impression that i'm going to enjoy reading these books.

 

Any recommendations would be appreciated, thanks.
