Hi Rick, Hope all is going well for you.

Some of the books I keep around me:-

Any "Sherlock Holmes" story
By Arthur Conan Doyle

"The wasp factory"
"Whit"
"The crow road"
"The business"
and any other by him,

By:   Iain Banks (Or Iain M Banks for his S/F)
(Very different, well written books)

---------------------------------------------------
"The Mordecai Trilogy"

1. "Don't point that thing at me"
2. ? Can't get at the book at the moment
3. ? Can't get at the book at the moment

Most books
By: Lawrence Sanders

In Lady Penelope's Post, the Author of "The stars look down" and
"The Citadel" was A. J. Cronin, anything by him is good reading.
As are most books by R. f. Delderfield.

So many good books out there! Where do you start?

Best wishes
