Finished a couple of James Elroy, American Tabloid, and The Cold Six Thousand - gotta read Blood's A Rover now to complete the trilogy. 2 great read so far, an author I really rate, who also wrote LA Confidential, amongst others.
Finished Dan Browns The Lost Symbol last night - meh.
For the Bret Easton Ellis fans, also read The Rules Of Attraction, and Less Than Zero - they are the other 2 books in the trilogy that American Psycho is part of. I enjoyed them when I read them, as I love satire and social commentary, especially when it is dressed up in a way that is subtle.
As you may have guessed, I'm a big reader, and get through a couple of books a week.
I'd recommend:
Roddy Doyles Barrytown Trilogy (The Commitments, The Snapper, The Van) and the Henry Smart books (not comedy) A Star Called Henry, Oh Play That Thing, The Dead Republic.
Dan Simmons - sci-fi (hard) thrillers, historical novels.
James Elroy - crime/thriller
Alastair Reynolds - sci-fi (hard)
James Clavell - historical novels, with Shogun based loosely on the time around Musashi Miyamoto's rise to fame.
Eiji Yoshikawa - Musashi (early life of the legendary swordsman)
Many, many others but the above includes some current favourites, and some all time favourites.
