best book you,ve read

[leithblue]

Winnie the pooh - Piglet goes to market

A classic in every sense

If you like that then you'd love "that's not my dinosaur" my son's current favourite, although I hate folk that give away plot twists I will just say....in the end, my dinosaur does turn up.

Oh and Procopius, the Secret History (fiction or not, entertaining..) and have started reading a lot more classics since I got a Kindle with them being mainly free, was blown away by Crime and Punishment - breathtaking book

Oh and Procopius, the Secret History (fiction or not, entertaining..)

Thanks for indirectly reminding me about another couple of great books.

The Secret History - Donna Tartt. Very dark but gripping tale about a group of American students studying Classics, their somewhat unusual professor and the tragedy that unfolds. It's sort of a more modern version of Brideshead Revisited, which is another absolute classic.

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks is a great read and as mentioned earlier in the thread Pies and Prejudice is a good read as well.

 

[Carstairs]

The Master and Margherita by Mikhail Bulgakov

Surreal, Subversive, Hilarious, Thought-provoking

 

[MIKEYP]

At the moment really into Simon Kernick.Dont think I have read a bad one of his.
