I always look forward to the new Lee Childs Reacher series. latest one (The Affair) was released a couple of weeks ago. He had a couple where he just seemed to go though the motions but was back on form with his last one tho i thought. I was really looking forward to finding out if the would film the books and had a few ideas who would have been ideal to play the role. To my dismay I find that 6'5" 3 foot wide Reacher will be played by 5'7" (on a good day!!) scrawney little Tom Cruise- grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Although he's probably too old now I always thought Tommy Lee Jones was probably most suited for the role.

Edit: Liam Neeson would fit the bill.

Thanks for those recommendations. I will highly recommend Canterbury Tales for new reading material. Their 50% returns for books is awesome (not really returns as in bad merchandise, but something you have read and now want something new). I've read more here than ever in my life. Retired and the books make my afternoon at the beach, on a lounge chair at Mike's Swimming Pool etc. Michael Connely, Patricia Cornwell, Clancy, Patterson and all of the Bangkok-related stories - authors escape me - Burdett(?)

If you are a Stones fan, Keith Richards autobiography "Life" is a must read. It was a very entertaining read.

For glam rock fans....

Kiss's Ace Frehely's auto biog is a great read and an insight to fame, fourtune and rock n roll excess by a guy who lives to tell the tale....

One book i just finished and also is a worthy read if you are in to this sort of thing is Tony Thompson's Outlaws..... A true account of the evolution in the UK of the Outlaws MC and their rise to the AOA and the individuals who lived it and died in the process....

A quick and easy read is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Why have you not named paultains plagerised piece of drivel, star wars is more realistic that what is in the content of his children's book

I haven't read this one yet but it does look interesting, with a little hint of sensationalism, perhaps.
 
Thailand: Deadly Destination ~ by John Stapleton.
 
‘Life in Thailand is cheap. And the deaths of foreigners often go unlamented; even unrecorded. Tourists are still given few warnings of the reality of the situation they are entering.’

 

Can read a bit more about it here and here.
