Westlake, Kaminsky, Padura...oh, and Meyer, too. Yes, Col, I'd say you've some good reading in store when you get to these books. You've reminded me, too, that I need to put Padura in the spotlight one of these times soon.
ReplyDeleteA decent tub Margot. I've not yet tried Padura so would be interested to hear your take on him........one of these years eh!
DeleteI like Robert Harris's thrillers, but not so keen on the ancient Rome books. That Tim Gautreaux book is one of the worst books I have read in the past five years: I absolutely hated it, so good luck with that. You'll probably love it!
ReplyDeleteI thought the Rome books would make a change and I'm curious to try them. I remember you wailing against a Gautreaux book previously, but couldn't recall which one. Looking forward to it!
DeleteIt looks like you and I have a lot of the same Littell books. That is another author I need to read more of. I also have The Man Who Lost the War. Kaminsky is a favorite author and the series set in Russia is my favorite series of his.
ReplyDeleteTracy, I haven't yet read Littell which is a bit bizarre considering my numbers of his books must be into double figures! The Tyler book was on a list of best espionage fiction I saw and Kaminsky - again I haven't tried him yet! :-)
DeleteCol, I'm looking at some good authors I have never read, and there are too many of them to mention, though I still have to read my Westlakes and Sharpes.
ReplyDeletePrashant, I keep dreaming of winning the lottery - not because I want to be rich, but so I can retire soon and read to my heart's content!
