I am not really widely read but read a bit. Joint top for me are john steinbeck and Irvine Welsh. Not far behind in third would be George Orwell.

John Grisham is 'just a crime writer', nothing too highbrow, but when I have read his books I have been absolutely hooked. The one about the black lawyer in nick, read the entire book in 24 hours on holiday, just felt like I couldnt put it down. So a very good author, fair play KM.

For the first time in 13 years on Betfair I'm going to use that absurd phrase used by people who don't think others are entitled to an opinion. I don't actually mean it of course but this guy is such a good writer that he almost deserves it. Almost , but not quite.

06 Oct 14 18:41 Harlan Coben That's the name I was trying to think of earlier. But once I've read paperbacks they go off in a box to to charity shops every now and again, so I had none to look at. I was googling 'Cohen- author' Ffs |

Loeonard's book, ' Beautiful Losers ' was excellent !

By:
cmat. He's great for light reading. I don't want anything too serious so he fits the bill perfectly.
I've probably read your old books, all mine come from charity shops. |
