Afraid i don't do fiction of any kind - either books or tv ( with the exception of the odd movie ). As for reading apart from sport in newspapers it has to be travel guides. Must have about 200 tucked away in the bedroom dancing

I can highly recommend..

Weaveworld
The Damnation Game
Coldheart Canyon

Also a two book series..
The Great And Secret Show
Everville

The 'Hellraiser' movies were based on an original novel..
'The Hellbound Heart' which is also worth a look wink

And to 'round off' getting you started.. There's a series of short stories entitled 'Books Of Blood'

Enjoywave

Thank-You

Jotted the titles down, worth my looking in the charity shops for good books too, surprising what some folk throw away.

I've recently finished reading a book titled 'The light in the window' by June Goulding .... it's a biography about a woman in the 1950's who went to work as a midwife at a Home for unmarried mothers, run by a cruel and strict nun

In books I like a mixture of the classics: Dostoevsky, Tolkein, Hugo, Orwell etc as well as some modern stuff such as McNab.
