The written word could turn out to be man's biggest downfall,or his greatest achievement . Who knows? I was once told "believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see" this has proven to be sound advice. As for books, well I have many and always enjoy reading something new that takes my fancy, a bit like music I suspect? They can transport you or not depending on your imagination. I would no more recommend you the books I read anymore than the speakers I use. What I would say is read, when you want, what you want. And just sometimes, if you can read something outside your comfort zone, you might be surprised...

As much as I said I wouldn't I just did :grin:

Jo Nesbo is brilliant. Just read the latest Harry Hole (pronounced 'holay') mystery. Brilliant.

Currently working my way through the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths. All about an archaeologist with a troubled personal life who keeps being pulled in by the police to help solve crimes old and new. Not exactly highbrow but very entertaining.
