This is a spin off from his "The Sandman" books. Y just gets a bit haphazard for me. Never really liked Yorik either. Comicflow is good for ipad reading. I think it's Comic Zeal I've got. I've never read any Gaiman. I got given a free novel of his by Amazon for some reason recently but haven't given it a go yet. I'll look into this Lucifer if I manage to get through all of Preacher,cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Blitzed through The Spy Who Came in from the Cold in the last day. Quality read like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and Other Lessons From The Crematory by Caitlin Doughty - a 30-yr old mortician. It's honest. fascinating, macabre and full of black humour that appeals to me. We're all going to shuffle off this mortal coil at some point but we don't like to talk about it, but she does. Enjoying it very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4635 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I read The Dirt (Motley Crue story) on holiday. I don't think it's as completely OTT as made out but still a very good and very human story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 51163 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir. Really, really good. Proper page-turner and you can see why it's being made into a Ridley Scott/Matt Damon blockbuster. Anyway, get on it. You don't need to be a sci-fi type to read it (I'm not), it's just a really good read, genuinely funny at times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51163 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's really good. Worth reading before the film comes out. Oh and don't watch the trailer as it gives everything away as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 3458 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just got 'A Distant Mirror' by Barb Tuchman and 'Foundation: History of England Part 1' by Peter Ackroyd in the post this morning. Should be a roaring good time reading them when I get around to it. Also, got 'Conspiracies and Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier' by Brad Steiger for my conspiracy theory loon of a mate. I'm going to wrap it in tinfoil complete with origami hat making instructions enclosed for his 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 My word, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is a long old slog. Feel like I've been reading it for half of my life and I'm only 65% of the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
