I’m a Dean Koontz fan. Most of his keep you page turning

Second,

brilliant author

 

[King Kareoke]

Barry Davies autobiography is a good read.

 

[Norman Stanley Fletcher]

Brilliant book, challenging read but well worth it.

It is - it’s tragic and hilarious at the same time. I’ve read it twice and am tempted to go again for the third time!

If you into cricket Harold dickie Bird, music Keith Richards and football has to be Lee Howey,what a laugh that book is

I also enjoyed James Herbert's books like the rats, fog etc but probably a bit heavy for a holiday

Loved his books, Fluke and the Spear were my favourites

We get many mentions?

I read a fair bit and really like Davi Gemmell. But for biographies I really enjoyed the Guvnor about Lenny McLean

 

[gelders pie]

Snap! My favourite of his is "Winter Moon", helluva book. "Watchers" is another brilliant story. And I really enjoyed the "Odd Thomas" series as well.

Haven't done that one yet- will source it. He seems to have a unique caterogory - it's not ''horror'' or ''science fiction'' although it contains elements of those - I call it unusialist

 

[Evil Jimmy Krankie]

David Niven - The Moons a Balloon. He also did a follow up , Bring On The Empty Horses.

Lived in the same street as my uncle. Quite an unusual bloke apparently. Good horror writer though.

I don’t often read autobiographical stuff but “ Massively violent and decidedly average” from our own Lee Howey was a good read and brutally honest with good humour.

I don't read many autos, but did try the Peter Crouch book, "How to be a footballer". There are two, I read the first. Very, very good!

If you want something light and easy (drinking a beer by the pool) but still interesting and informative;

Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie.

 

[Gordon Armstrong]

Knowing a bit about you, Tees

"It's in the Blood - The Ernie Bewick story" may well be of interest to you.

The grammar is embarrassing, but you'll not be bothered about that and I think that you'd enjoy it

 

[Bigmackem]

Thoroughly enjoyed Gareth Thomas autobiography so much so my Wife decided to that if I had enjoyed it so much she would see what it was like , must say she is not really in to sport that much but she thoroughly enjoyed it as well .

 

[John Wick]

"The history of glue", I couldn't put it down.

 

[kirklees mackem]

JB turner does a series of decent books

or LJ Ross. One of her series of books are set in the NE.

I've read all the LJ Ross books based on the north east and enjoyed them all

Give the Bible a try.

I've read all the LJ Ross books based on the north east and enjoyed them all

so good,

think thats why I liked them as I knew where they were set and could vision where the murders took place,

She has one that is set in St Ives, and same I could see where they were talking about.

Isn,t the St Ives one part of a set of six which involves a psychologist who has assisted dci Ryan in some of the north east books
