September 7, 201213 yr Just got a Kindle and looking at sticking some books on there for a bit of time away. Looking for recommendations please. Already got a few of the Andy McNab books, few Chris Ryan ones. Non fiction / true crime etc are what i'm after, Warren Fellows type of books. And also autobiographies. Could you kind people reply with some decent ones please, I'll frown if people start suggesting that 50 shades of grey nonsense or bloody cookery books. Thanks
September 7, 201213 yr Jeffery Deaver the bloke who wrote the bone collector is decent. Read every book of his. Read a tale of two cities which was decent but is a tough read.
September 7, 201213 yr Author Cheers stevie lar never heard of him, but had a quick search and all his books are 4* and above, looks the The Bone Collector will get downloaded amonsgt others
September 7, 201213 yr Author Coffin Dancer looks alright too. Decent these Kindle things, really light, and all i've done so far is taken it out of the box.

September 7, 201213 yr Decent writer, gets a bit fucked up if you only read him though but if you have a few authors on rotation your winning.
September 7, 201213 yr and often pick up a (legit) freebie latest one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-on-Demand-ebook/dp/B0080FCR2G/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1347049853&sr=1-1 nowt lost Edited September 7, 201213 yr by Casino
September 7, 201213 yr Peter James - The Roy Grace series, I've read the 1st 5, enjoyed em. Jo Nesbo - Harry Hole, an alcoholic detective in Oslo, very good. Can even be read out of order. James Patterson - the Alex Cross series, plenty to go at there. Jeffery Deaver is good too, agree with StevieB. I read the odd biography, and about half way through I get bored with em. Gonna stop doing it. Thinking of getting a kindle, but do enjoy the feel of a book. jeep - old skool.........

September 7, 201213 yr Thinking of getting a kindle, but do enjoy the feel of a book. jeep - old skool......... I to still like the "feel" of a real book, but I wouldn't be without my kindle now, it's far more portable than normal books. I'm going on holiday tomorrow night, and I'll take my kindle loaded up with plenty of books, which saves space and weight.....means more room on the return for duty frees

September 7, 201213 yr Just plowing my way through the Jack Reacher books at the moment after they were recommended on here.
September 7, 201213 yr Leave a kindle on your hamaca on the beach and you'll have to walk back for it, knowing full well it won't be there. Leave a book and you won't bother going back for it even though it will probably still be there. Books are great.
September 7, 201213 yr Simon Kernick, relentless, great book but I'm biased! I read mark billingham rush of blood on hold was fooking ace Listened to the majority of the jack reacher novels by lee child

You could always not be a fuckwit, and make sure you've not left anything behind when you leave, by your rational you shouldn't carry a mobile phone or wallet.
September 8, 201213 yr Just ordered one of these for my 8 year old daughter - if it's a bag o' shite i'll just stick it on the bay near to xmas. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/47357/kobo-mini-5-inch-reader Edited September 8, 201213 yr by Burndens Bogs
September 8, 201213 yr Somewhat pointless as you already have the Kindle. But.... No need to buy the device ust download the Kindle App to you non iphonewanker android device for free. As you've probably seen there are 100s of free titles, classics like. Get the complete works of Jerome K Jerome downloaded... bit of culture. Otherwise i like the Stewart Lee Auto biogs. "if you prefer a milder comedian please ask for one" BUT- if you're not a fan of his comedy it'd be wank.
