Agree with all this. I've read all three authors. Winter by Deighton is long, but excellent also.

not read Winter will put that on my list

London by Edward Rutherford is an excellent epic.

Should take up a good chunk of isolation to get through it.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

The Road.

Genuine question about biogs, did you skip the early part? I ask because I’ve never enjoyed biogs and autobiographies cos they all assume you are interested in every bit of their lives, esp their childhood, when in reality I always used to skip to the bit when they were famous/successful and hob-nobbing with other well known types. Maybe just me of course!

James Cameron? Of The Terminator and The Abyss fame?

I'm reading "Them" by Jon Ronson atm. Would also recommend The Psychopath Test, also by Jon Ronson.

For the WW2 Antony Beevor fans out there would recommend his account of the invasion of Crete. Also Max Hastings' "Das Reich", which reads like a novel.

The Road.

It's a great book, but are you trying to finish Ric off? Not one for these times, I don't think.
