luckypierre 0 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 The Necroscope series of books kind of combines all three of those genres. Theres enough to keep you busy if you do end up in plaster as theres about 10 books in total. Young kid(at first) who can speak to the dead goes to war against vampires against the back drop of cold war espionage. I enjoyed them. Where are you off to?

luckyluke 2 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you like biographies I can recommend John Peel's, which I've just finished. It's partly written by him, and finished off by his wife after his death. It's called "Margrave of the Marshes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43853 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Louis Theroux's Call of the Weird is easy reading but interesting enough. If you like sport biographies there's that new George Best book about Hard Tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Anything by Ann Rule is usually half decent - true crime. If you like anything like that get the Kenneth Noye book - Killer on the road, excellent read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mainly like sport Biographys, but have recently finished the Jigsaw man, a book about Britains leading criminal psychologist, great read.
