just for you, they could be any flavour you'd like, and I mean any flavour

but yes there shall be chocolate ones
 
Tana French is brilliant. Currently reading her new one (The Secret Place), but I would recommend the whole Dublin Murder Squad series. (Though it isn't really a series that you have to read in order).

Also read "The Girl with all the Gifts" a few days ago - which is great.
 
Just read The Confession by John Grisham which was ok & started Police by Jo Nesbo which shows promise.

TV, currently Ray Donovan & Banshee, basically sex, fighting, murder power & sex. Episode 2 of the current series of Banshee has a beautifully filmed masterbation scene starring Lili Simmons, it's art.

Final series of Boardwalk Empire starts a week on Saturday

This is well worth getting into...........

The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy

Available together in one volume for the first time, the three novels of Cormac McCarthy's award-winning and bestselling Border Trilogy constitute a genuine American epic.

Beginning with All the Pretty Horses and continuing through The Crossing and Cities of the Plain, McCarthy chronicles the lives of two young men coming of age in the Southwest and Mexico, poised on the edge of a world about to change forever. Hauntingly beautiful, filled with sorrow and humor, The Border Trilogy is a masterful elegy for the American frontier.

All chazz has got left is his honey badger threads.
 
Thiriller-wise I'd recommend anything by Michael Connelly, Jo Nesbo or Dennis Lehane. I've just read the one Tana French, but it was pretty good.

At the moment I'm knee-deep in the disturbingly long Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, which veers between codebreaking, computer hacking and war adventure. Very good, but very long. I'll get on to the new Lee Child once I'm done.
 
Currently midway through Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (1961), one of the greatest novels of the 20th century (as it says on the cover). The expression was coined because of this book too. It's hilarious, whacky, tragic, pacy, satirical.. truly a great read.
 
Been watching a lot of tv series recently so here are a few I recommend:

Game Of Thrones
Breaking Bad
Dexter
Prison Break
Entourage
Californication
Suits
White Collar
Chuck

All on Netflix apart from GoT, well worth the £6 a month
 
For books, my favourite collection at the moment are the Sean Dillion series of book by Jack Higgins.

As for TV, check out Orange is the New Black and House of Cards. Both on Netflix.
