Recommended Posts

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but presently reading Trumpocracy by David Frum. A bit of a political junky and trying to get my head around whats happening south of the border

A good non-fiction book is Cop to Call Girl by Norma Jean Almodovar. She was a police officer in Los Angeles before becoming an Upscale Escort and wrote this book after she retired.

You can't go wrong with Ken Follett's historical books. I just finished reading "The Pillars of the Earth". It's a historical novel about the building of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge, England. It is set in the middle of the 12th century. The book traces the fortunes of the Kingsbridge church and village against the backdrop of historical events of the time.

Neuromancer by William Gibson (ot anything by him)

 

 

Excellent suggestion, I think. If you enjoyed the 'Blade Runner' movies, Gibson's earlier work will probably appeal. He did switch from the 'near future SF' mode to novels set in the present ('Pattern Recognition'/'Spook Country'/'Zero History'), but his last book is a return to the 'near future' approach.
