What book are you reading now / or recommend?

The Forever War looks good but there's two different ones.

One by Dexter Filkins and one by Joe Halderman and John Scalzi

Joe Halderman wrote the Forever War, and Scalzi wrote Old Man's War. The latter has more humour in it, but they are both great books. I think The Forever War would be more up your street.

So not the one by Decter Filkins then?

Cheers

He's a journo famous for covering the Iraq and Afghan wars, so definitely not.

I used to read all the time. Since my dad died in 2008, I've read maybe one book in full. Just struggle to sit and concentrate for any amount of time.

Ah that's shit mate. I'm sorry.

There's little better than having a good book on the go though.

I know. The book I read was Paul Lake's and I got through it in 2 days. A lot of the books I bought around that time were heavy going geo-political/war on terror type stuff. I should get back to easy going fiction - always loved Cussler's stuff.

Yeah I read that last year and then watched the TV series. Enjoyed both.

There's a series of books by English author Mike Carey, based on a character called Felix Castor who's a scouse exorcist (I know it sounds stupid). First in the series is called 'The Devil you know' followed by another four or five books, it's very dark humour and easily the best series I've read in years! Highly recommended
