    First off, what's your budget? And if Trek isss your only option, I'd go with 'The FX series' which has a range of flat bared road bikes (for a reasonable cost) but they still retain Treks good reputation for build quality and performance :D Go and have a ganders!

    Adventure Book Recommendations?

    Thanks for all of the prompt recommendations :D I think I'm going to go with Tigana or King Solomon's Mines, with The 'Anubis Gates' as an addition to my to-read list (and which ever I don't choose). I'll also keep referring back to this thread, so any more recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)

     

    Edit: I've previously read lord of the flies and enjoyed it, but thanks anyway Kidsmum :lol:

    Adventure Book Recommendations?

    in Book Search and Reading Recommendations

    Posted · Edited by Jonathon

    So I'm looking for recommendations on adventure books. Two of my favourite all time books are 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' :) in which, the main characters both share an initial naivety to the world around them, and to what it may hold (which I love) :P

     

    To sum up what I'm look for in an adventure book, I'd like it to be; well written, original, witty and the character being taken out of their comfort zones (but this isn't too important). I'm also open to anything, from classics and non-fiction to Sci-fi and fantasy. :D

     

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

    How many books do you read at once?

    My reason for choosing two: Whilst long distance biking I find myself taking breaks, eating lunch and what not, and during this period of time I enjoy reading a light hearted book e.g. Disc World. So during heavy reading sessions at home I enjoy fuller books, both literally and plot wise, and during long bike rides I enjoy a nice light weight book with a light hearted plot and a bit of humor.;)

    That's the first time I've heard it described that way around, I thought it was a poor story with great visuals?

     

     

    Perhaps if it concentrated on building drama rather than Relying on action I would have enjoyed it, for me it just seemed like the action was an attempt to keep children interested.
