"Tell no one" - Harlan Coben

My girlfriend told me a lot of good things about this author, so I decided to give a look at his most famous book, and I really enjoyed it ;)

I've been in the mood for a bit of lighthearted reading compared to the stuff that I have been reading lately, so I am currently revisiting Terry Pratchett's Disc world.

I read the "watch" branch several years ago (it was great), and now I am working on the "wizard (Rincewind)" branch.

* The colour of magic
* The light fantastic
* Sourcery
* (Faust) Eric - Illustrated Novel
* Interesting Times
* The last Continent
* The last Hero - Illustrated Novel
* Unseen Academicals

Good guide to the reading order (http://www.lspace.org/books/reading-order-guides/the-discworld-reading-order-guide-20.jpg)

I'm half way through this list so far.
 
I'm currently reading the Sharp series in chronological order .Just finished Trafalgar. I hope Hakeswill doesn't show back up later.

Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse. This may be the funnest book I've ever read. Just could not stop smiling and out right laughing when Fink-Nottle drank a bit too much.

Just finished a book called "A thousand forgotten men".

Its a story where the author suggest the adventures of a young British war hero from WW2 as the inspiration for Ian Flemings "James Bond". Its an account of some specific battles during the war and the accomplishment of a young war hero, Patrick Dalzel-Job, during these events. The character the story is based on and the events described in the book is interesting and could have made a great book, but the main character is kind of "lost" in the storyline as the author tries to jam as much fact information into the story as possible.

Have no idea what ill read next, sometimes it takes a while between books if I dont see something that immediately interests me.

I think It was the first book I read of his, and I still applaud it as one of his very best works.

His really old stuff (Bachman) had a pretty creepy ring to it too.

I celebrate the man's entire catalog :D <<< Office Space reference
