Jim Mappelle Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Hi all from 'up north'! Late developer in the reading stakes I suppose; currently reading Beneath the Bleeding. Quick look on the sparse shelf shows authors Dan Brown, Val McDermid, JK Rowling, Jesse Kellerman, James Patterson, Peter James, Mark Haddon, Lee Childs, Andrew Davidson...(How do you get inspiration to write a book like 'The Gargoyle')! Blew me away that one. Funniest book ever read was 'Bored of the Rings'. The 'Cutting Room' currently on mp Other hobbies, abstract photography, my Mini Schnauzer 'Norman' & better not forget the 3 granddaughters currently ages 6/4/1! This looks an interesting place & hopefully will give me a bit more direction on my next library visit rather than choosing 'willy nilly' & being disappointed. Cheers, Jim. Quote

Jim Mappelle Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks again folks, Just come back from the library with my 1st Ian Rankin & Stuart MacBride books, also Philip Pullmans Trilogy; 1984 & The Time Travellers Wife requested for the future. Librarian was quite impressed at my 'homework'! Thanks for the direction in the 'books everyone should read' thread. Jim. Quote
Coffin Nail Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Stuart MacBride is my favourite. Which one have you got? Quote
