I've read the first three or four then the series slipped off my radar slightly. The first one is really good, so are the next two then from what I remember the fourth was a bit too long. Well worth trying, two of my daughters enjoyed the books too (the third doesn't like fantasy).

 

Thank you! I shall put the Green Rider Series on my TBR list.

I am currently being swamped with books that I have on hold at the library all coming available at the same time. Fortunately the library has a new policy that permits you  to delay downloading a book for 2 to 3 weeks while not losing you hold place.

I haven't, but if it's as good as his other work then you're in for a treat when you do read it.

Has anyone ever read The Penderwicks series!? I absolutely love those books and it is my favorite book series of all time!

Has anyone ever read the book '' Four Pillars of Energy '' by Hadi Sarmasti? It’s an excellent book that explains complex concepts of energy and ways to optimize its use in a simple language. The author combines scientific knowledge with personal experiences to help the reader gain a deeper understanding of managing their physical and mental energy. This book can be beneficial for anyone looking to improve their quality of life and increase productivity in both their personal and professional lives. If you've read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Neville Shute did also write Beyond the Stump - haven't read it though.

I find Shute to be dry and clinical in his style of writing. Similar to Arthur Hailey or C P Snow.

However I find these authors interesting despite? because, of their style.

Shute, His 'Round The Bend' a chronical of an engineer who because of his way of life attracts a following in the middle and far east. I suppose some similarity with Jesus, without the miracles  i never tire of re-reading it and I'm not really religious. I  did have a good many of his works but forced to downsize reduced him to just two, of which Round the Bend is one. I'll never part with.

Has anyone read Game of Thrones? I started watching the HBO show and just downloaded the first book on my kindle. I'm trying to decide if I want to start this series first of The Hunger Games...any suggestions?

 

I believe the first one is called A Song of Fire and Ice

Read it I enjoyed it but then I'm into saga's I think he got fed up by the end and that is a bit muddled.

Has anyone read The Black Echo by Michael Connolly? It's book 1 of the Harry Bosch series and it looks So0o0o Good. I'm not the biggest crime/mystery fan but I've always believed that if a book is good enough, any avid reader will love it, no matter the genre. And that's how I am in regards to any and all fiction. Plus it reminds me of the Lincoln Rhyme series and I loved that.

Have read most of Connolly, find his Bosch series and his Lincoln Lawyer to be very good.

I remember really enjoying Round The Bend,  too.  Don't recall the story now but his nickname of 'Harpic' I thought very funny.

hello Poppy,

Synopsis, two young men, one part chinese are friends travelling round Britain with a aeronautical show.. "WW2 breaks out and  one goes in RAF as an enginneer. after war stays in the middle East flying cargo around joined by part chinese who because of his deportment and creed gained a following in the Middle East and beyond until he dies. Badly set out but hope it gives the gist of the book, which made a profound impact on me, and I'm not much given to emotion.

I’m new to the forum and just wanted to thank everyone for the good suggestions that I’ve seen posted so far. None of my friends seem to be as interested in books as I am, so it’s nice to have a place like this. 
 

I’m Pete Ruma and I love to read!
