    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

    Doesn't the book club belong to Chazz?



    First you try to take his match threads, now his book club.

    He's gonna be seriously pissed off.

    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.
