boyingreen Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 So I sprained my ankle and after 6 weeks of trying to run on it on and off I've given up and decided to let the bugger heal.. So I need a few book suggestions to keep myself occupied please I like books with an underlying theme of independence, I like it when the main protagonist achieves things despite the odds, I like exciting books that you can't put down most of all. My favorite book is "Restless" by William Boyd - a weird one for a 19 year old man but there you go Oh, and I mainly prefer it when the setting is Britain, cause I find them easier to relate to. So, if you could come up with a couple of suggestions I would be very grateful Thank's guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prisqua Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Hi, I got to read this book "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E L James lately. The book has become a worldwide phenomenon. You can read the review and decide why you should or should not opt to lay your hands on this book.

chesilbeach Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Have you read other William Boyd novels? I read Ordinary Thunderstorms recently and thought it was really good. The Ghost by Robert Harris was a good page turner too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Ms Stitch Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? I read the first book in 2 days, then as soon as I had finished, I had to go off and download the next two books - I'm pretty sure that I read them within a couple of days! I can recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - great book about a dystopian future. Unfortunately, neither of them are set in Britain but there are both very good books.
