boozer have u read jean m. auels clan of the cave bear series? interesting woman she is... announces that a 6 book saga detailing the life of character ayla, writes four, then stops.
that was in the 70s

she released the fifth book last year. i assume the sixth is coming out a looong time ahead of us. but a brilliant read all the same

I don't enjoy reading. maybe it's because english is my 2nd language, I am not able to read quick. Maybe it's because I'd rather play Gran Turismo...

I spend most time reading WHEELS and VWMA. but I do realise I should read other stuff for growing my vocab!

I did read that series of novels by (forgot) about a female soldier in an invaded country. I'm sure some of you read those too!

sci fi... sci fi...
did i mention sci fi?

i have a bookshelf full of the stuff... its awesome!
if you ever feel like wasting a few weeks/months reading sci fi, then go for Peter F. Hamilton.
his books are usually about 1500 pages EACH (and theres usually 3 in a series) and they are VERY GRAPHIC!!! his imagination and the depth he goes into astounds me... believe me, once you start reading you just CANT stop!

but at the moment, the only things im reading are textbooks 🙁
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Not a big reader - more a holiday reader

Went into a 2nd hand book store on the gold coast a few years back and this sweet old 80 year old put me onto Robert G Barrett and the Les Norton series

Sex - violence - drugs - more violence (in a nice way)

What i do like is a know all the places he talks about - Bondi, the X, terrigal, Morouya etc etc

hmmm wasnt a fan of michael moore. i thought he had a fresh new outlook on politics in the usa, but as i read on i found he was just another liberal, the only difference being he has the balls to be heard

Reading THE FIST OF GOD at the moment, about Iraq invading Kuwait in the early 90s.

VW Trends, Hot VWs, VWMA, The SMH....used to read a lot of Kellerman, but now mainly grab a book when on holidays. Murder mystery's, that sort of thing.

Then there's toilet reading......so the VW mags are there along with Who for the crossword. :thumb Sorry....is that too much information?

i like anyone that doesn't like george bush, and little george bushes AKA john howard. I don't care if they even bend the facts, reason? because it's only fair to do it that way for an even arguement.

I've been reading trainspotting for the 2nd time in the last few weeks. Only really read it on public transport. I'm a bit on and off with reading, sometimes I will really get into a book and read it before I go to sleep or in my spare time. But mainly I read on public transport or when I am waiting.

Also read the Da Vinci code recently partly for laugh. It's difficult to take it seriously these days. Probably one of the first fictions I have read with product placement in it. Just terrible.

Before that I read, White Teeth, Myra and Myron, LOTR.

I am a big fan of Stephen King. I like the beejeezus scared out of me !

But at the moment I am a nerdy masters student so the book that I am currently reading is titled "health care systems in Australia",
🤘

health care system in australia... freaky stuff!

another thing... this should be in the confessions thread... i love romance novels. bring me back to a time where seduction wasnt a shot of tequila and a slap on the rump; but a rose on the doorstep, an outing to theatre, a poem, a letter...

i think im going to cry....

Just rereading the Wheel of Time series for the third time, in anticipation of the 12th book, just so I have the story straight in my head before I dive in again. Awesome series - I read it as an escape from the real world, I really get into the books.

David Eddings, Steven King, Brian Lumley (Necroscope series was great), Terry Goodkind, Allan Dean Foster, Piers Anthony etc etc etc.

I was raised on Sci Fi / Fantasy - have been reading it since I was about 8.
