    I am currently wading through a tall heap of Lee Child's books, mainly because I liked the Jack Reacher fillums with Tom Cruise. Apparently Mr Child is less than happy about having his six foot odd subject in the books being played by a short arse in the shape of Mr Cruise

    Hi Dominic,

    You may have already them, but if you like the Lee Child books, then I can recommend the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter and the Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo.

    Kind regards

    John

    ‘The Book Seller of Kabul’ by Åsne Seierstad

    ISBN 1 54408 047 1 (Virago © 2003)

    Read this a couple of years ago, but thought I would read it again as I enjoyed it first time round.

    I just finished reading 'Pygmy', by Chuck Palahnuik.

    If ever a book was to divide opinion it's this story. It took me a couple of chapters to 'get it', then I realised what fun it was in a slightly wicked sort of way. Certainly very different and imaginative. Review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...lahniuk-review Palahnuik by the way, wrote 'Fight Club'.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
