Just started the new Lee Child novel 'Gone Tomorrow'

 

 

Have seen a few Lee Child novels at my local library. Any recommendations for someone wanting to start reading his novels? I'm into Forsyth, Ken Follet, Archer, Desmond Bagley etc. so I'm guessing Lee Child should be right up my alley...

You do need to start with his first novel (forget the name) as he has the character of Jack Reacher in each one.

I haven't read any bad ones and I've read several of them. Reacher's a great character IMO.

Child's a great writer, I believe the first Jack Reacher book is "Killing Floor"

I just finished rereading William Regal's "Walking A Golden Mile".

 

Now onto Bruce Campbell's "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor". Pretty good so far.

i really loved 'if chins could kill'. good stuff. I am going to track down the Bon Scott book, looks like a good one. as far as other reading material goes, i got 20 sleazy paperback novels from the give away store the other day in Deadwood, so i am picking my way through those. I also just recently finished Memoirs Of A Geisha. good as well.

Just finished reading the book "The last Kingdom" by Bernard Cornwell. About the danish vikings raiding England in the 9th century. Gruesome !!!

 

Great book, though ! Need to buy the follow-up "The white Rider".

Joe Haldeman - Peace and War. It's a trilogy of books in one volume, the original in the series "The Forever War" I read years and years ago and is one of my fave Sci Fi books. The follow ups I never read...but now I have the chance (evil cackle!)

    • No replies in this thread, really? These guys deserves your recognition, absolutely quality stuff!    
    • Listening to this in a shopping centre with the phone to my ear and it sounds ok. But overall underwhelmed. Bed City were awesome and his vocal we top notch. But I like to think I can disregard that and hear it for what it is. I think it's the Christian stuff that is holding me back. And I dealt with Stryper stuff no problems so I'm trying to figure out why this isn't sitting well I guess times have changed and styper always came off as a bit gimmicky or shticky and kind of fun. It's also 30 years later and I really don't care Bout the Christian messages. They are boring now. Even Stryper aren't as obvious in their lyrics these days. Or maybe it's all just a reminder of the shit Josh did that landed him in jail? Silly to constantly remind people of that. Would prefer just some fun rock music I think.  
    • Nate seems like a legit nice guy too… From his FB page: I just want to thank everyone for such a positive response on the latest announcement! It means the world❤️ I will do my absolute best to honor Cj’s legacy and keep his name alive each show. Hope to see you all soon Best Regards  Nate Peck   And from earlier this year, this lovely pic of him and CJ
    • On Instagram where Stevie Rachelle posted the link to the story it was crazy how many people don't know anything about the bands recent history or read the article. Several people moaning how they are replacing him too quick etc without realising he has been touring with the band since last year when he was covering for a recovering CJ and that Nate and CJ actually became really good friends. CJ would have wanted them to carry on and gave this guy his blessing, essentially.

    • Good news.  Nate seems like a great dude and from what I've seen, he does a nice job.  I think he's the right guy for that gig being he was filling in with CJ's blessing and he has the right tone in his voice to do the songs justice.  Granted, there's no replacing CJ's unique voice but good that they'll still be out there celebrating the music. One thing I wonder is if they'll maybe considering doing some new music with Nate?  I mean, he's a young guy and would probably love to record some new music with them.  Not sure how much demand there would be for it but I like to see them put out a new song at least and just see how it goes.  It would be nice to give Nate something of his own in the setlist too.  I'm not gonna hold my breath though lol.
