Recently borrowed from the library. Out of sight, by Elmore Leonard. A really great crime writer. Two thirds through it. Gripping.

Good job I didn't buy it then:lol:

Received from Amazon.com yesterday. Police Blotter. By Robert Pike. also the author of Mute Witness, filmed as Bullitt. If this is half as good as Bullitt, it will be great.

Vall3y. There appears to be another Dexter book out on sale in Amazon.com Querido Dexter. Saw it when looking for the others.

Two books from the library this week.One for humour and one for thrills. P.G.Wodehouse's Full Moon and Elmore Leonard's Out of sight.

CSI Miami. The right To Die. More a lesson in forensic science than a thriller. Library book.

Thanks Vall3y, for the list. I have the first two which I have read, so now I know how to follow on.

I am now keeping a list of books on www. Librarything.com It will take a long time before I have them all catalogued.

A book for children but which adults I am sure would enjoy is Artemis Fowl. Hilarious fantasy in the style of Terry Pratchett. Many adults enjoy the Harry Potter books, so I am sure this one will go down well.

Just finished Bullitt, by Robert L. Pike. The best thriller I have read since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. A real page turner. Kept me on the edge of my seat untill the last page.

Just finished Mortal Causes, by Ian Rankin, half way through, Bullitt by Robert L. Pike.First published as, Mute Witness.

Can anyone tell me the order in which the Dexter books were written? I'd like to read them in the correct sequence.

Every reader knows, the books are always better than the series or film. You will enjoy them.

Been buying books on a short holiday.Riddle of the Third Mile, and The Way Through The Woods, by Colin Dexter.The Case of the Drowning Duck, by Erle Stanley Gardner. Harlen Coben's One False Move. Another of Ian Rankin's Rebus novels, but I can't put my hand on it and can't remember the title...

I try and keep all the thrillers in one shelf, classics in another, books on books in another and so on, it only works up to a point, then I find a large book won't fit in this shelf so it goes in another, and I need more shelf room etc but I can usually find what I want. But now that it has...

How do you go about building a personal library? Arnold Bennett suggests that we should spend three percent of our income in order to build a good library. I believe it can be done for a good deal less by buying second hand. I have done this by visiting used book shops and buying from such...

I have started to list the books I am reading on www.http://libraryThing.com since seeing someone else on the forum doing so. Pretty handy way of keep track of your reading.

At the moment re-reading Arnold Bennett's Literary Tastes. Which is a detailed intruction for forming and collecting a complete library of english Literature.

I agree with Gerbam, on John LeCarre, I think I have all his books, and remember he was a real spy. He knew what he was writing about. And George Simenone, I have a bot of his Maigrete mysteries. The Turn of the Screw in on my shelf also. But I should add Erle Stanley Gardner, and Rex Stout to...

I think that if there should be classics in detective fiction, Edgar Wallace should rank along with Conan Doyle, Wilkie Collins, and Edgar Allan Poe as the first in the line of crime writers. Reading The Four Just Men now, and just recieved in the post The Ringer.
