Suggest a book, quick!
 

I'm leaving for the library in about 10 minutes, but have no idea what I'm gonna get. Someone suggest something!

The spy who came in from the cold by John Le Carre?

Okay, I'll look for it. Thanks Jag.

It's very, very good and quite famous. If they don't have it slap your librarian.

LAMB --CHRISTOPHER MOORE


THE WINTER KING - bernard cornwell ( the real king arthur story)

in conquest born by Cs. Friedman
she rawks!

The Power of One by Bruce Courtney and no librarian slapping, please. She (or he ) is producing miracles for you on a laughable budget and deserves praise, not slaps. ;)

Better yet, if the library is closing in 10 minutes, ask the librarian out for a beer.;)

I knew you'd comment on that ;)

I second the suggestion for Lamb ... I'm reading it now, up to chapter 3 and haven't stopped giggling yet.

The Winter King is AWESOME. Anything by Bernard Cornwell is good. Also, you could try A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett. He's good too.

I find anything after Eye of the Needle by Follett pretty flat and formulaic ... not that I mind formulaic. It's the flat that turns me off. Last thing of his I read was "Code to Zero."

give us more notice next time perth/


what did you end up getting?

I left right after Jag's suggestion, so I got "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold". Also picked up a Bloom County book for some levity, the following CDs:

Billy Joel Greatest Hits Vols 1 and 2
Waterboys - A Rock in the Weary Land
Santana - Supernatural
Crash Test Dummies - A Worm's Life
Etta James - Not sure which disc, it's in the car at the moment.

Also borrowed Season 2 of BBC's "Coupling". This show cracks me the fuck up.

Thanks for the suggestions all. I'm saving 'em all off on a list so I don't hit "library-goer's block" again soon. Normally I just sort of wander until something catches my eye. The problem with that is that there's a small set of authors that consistently catch my eye, and mostly it's sci-fi. It's nice to get out of my comfort zone once in a while.

Ever read Widowmaker?
