banjo48 928 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Dont know if its been mentioned before, but my son gave me a book called "Gangs of Nottingham" by Carl Felstrom. A hard and gritty look at the original Bestwood boys and for me some interesting stuff, including some work colleages that I used to work with on BT in Nottm in the 80's.

TGC 216 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 #74 You are Dr. Watson from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. You might prefer the company of one good friend to a crowd but, despite this introversion, you maintain an offbeat sense of humour your friends and colleagues love. Even though you place trust in a sense of law and order, you are flexible enough to blur lines should your friends ask for a spot of burglary in an excellent cause. On tough days, when you’re suffering from certain over-bearing colleagues, you might feel inadequate and defensive. However, you balance this with good intuition and often surprisingly good people skills, not least your fierce loyalty to friends. Mmmmm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Save your money radfordred, they'll both be on car boot sales before Christmas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,124 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'd opt for Roy Keane if any RadfordRed. At the moment I've been reading 'Isabels Daughter' by Judi Hendricks. Good read thus far. I think I've mentioned before but for any avid readers on here. The website 'Goodreads' is brilliant for keeping track of your reading progress and also gives recommendations you may like as well as being able to give books reviews and reading others reviews!

Gibbo 04 188 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've been reading crime novels for the past year or so now and am enjoying them, authors like Anne Cleeves, Reginald Hill, Sharon Bolton, Jo Nesbo etc. Has anyone read any of John Harvey's Resnick series? I know they are set in and around Nottingham, just wondered if anyone would recommend them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Gibbo the Resnick novels are great!! If you like a good plot, police procedural and "walking" around Nottingham in your imagination you can't go wrong. I've got `em all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks Commo, you've sold me....I've just ordered ' Lonely Hearts '...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Reading Paperboy by Christopher Fowler, his biography set in the 60's. He writes detective novels set in London featuring two old detectives called Bryant and May, which are very entertaining. I've read most of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Just finished a book by Henning Mankel in the 'Wallander' series and now reading one of my favourites again; 'Roughing It' by Mark Twain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've always been a fan of Jo Nesbo, Stuart MacBride and Andy McNab, amongst others. I've recently finished the latest offering from each of those authors and each took me nearly a week. I've now realised that for each author, the latest story is just a re-hash of all their previous ones, almost like repeats on telly. So I've junked them from now on. Is it just me or does anyone else find this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coffers77 34 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just read This Bloody Mary (is the Last Thing I Own) by the late Jonathan Rendall. One mans journey through the murky world of professional boxing. Written in the late nineties. Now picking up Child 44 - well received thriller novel by British Writer Tom Rob Smith around a serial killer of children in 50s Moscow. A film version is out soon with Tom Hardy and Gary Oldham. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I've just finished reading "One Way Out" , the inside story of the Allman Brothers Band. My God, what a read. You can forget ALL stories of bad assed rock bands. These are the ultimate. Forget The Stones, Led Zep, AC / DC, Guns & Roses, Motley Crue etc. These boys were unbelievable. The most tattoos, the longest hair. Drink problems, copious amounts of every drug imaginable and some that weren't. Greed, paternity suits, theft, deaths and even murder. They began in the 60's and quickly got into drinking and drug abuse. This disrupted the once amicable atmosphere. Tempers got frayed, musical differences emerged, jealousy over songwriting royalties and publishing rights. The untimely deaths of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. The murder of a record company employee by members of the road crew who were mainly tough Vietnam Vets. However they did manage to stick together for 45 years on and off. An enthralling read.
