Kgbow Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hey guys. My name is Kirk and I decided to join this forum as I have now completely fallen in love with books. As a musician I'm constantly on the road headed from one place to another. It wasn't until recently that I was at a service station and found a book on the floor outside. This book was "The Body Farm" by Patrica Cornwell. After the first few chapters I realised I was hooked. Due to the fact I'm always on the road, I never get a chance to talk to people about the amazing books I'm reading, bar the other members in the band who, apart from one, don't read books. So here we go Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Kirk! Are you sticking to crime fiction, or have you branched out into other genres as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kgbow Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 At the moment just crime and mystery. However, I like the look of The Game Of Thrones. What would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Crime and mystery not usually something I read, but I've just read Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd about a man who is finds himself the prime suspect in a murder and decides to go into hiding by not using his mobile phone, credit cards, etc., and living rough in order to avoid the police, while trying to find out why the man he's accused of killing, was murdered in the first place. Really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kgbow Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks for that. I have a friend who works at an auction house, they have the largest selection of unwanted books I've ever seen. Came home with a bin bag full of em yesterday. Might make a call to see if that book is there! On the road again Wednesday. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm currently just coming to the end of A Game of Thrones and I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. Anyway, welcome to BCF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsa Orlong Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hey Kirk, welcome Have you tried any Jo Nesbø? Or how about historical crime/mystery writers, like Steven Saylor, Rory Clements, CJ Sansom etc? A Game of Thrones is a great book - although the series is far from finished so bear that in mind before you start - it's going to be a long wait for the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kgbow Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hello guys! Thanks for that. Ill be sure to look into those names. Funny you should say about Historical crime writers, we recently performed at a place riddled with people who write that genre, most of them American. Robbert Hicks was one name I remember. Lost for the others, then again, the las's serving food had to be the main attraction...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Welcome Kirk, I am sure you will have lots to add to our forum, your lifestyle must be interesting.
