Just started reading the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child
Very easy to read and addictive. Started with Never Go Back only because it was £3 in Tesco and have started on the first one now.
Jack Reacher books in order | Waterstones

Never go back is one of the best ones
I always buy a new one when I have to fly. Always someone in the family to take them off my hands too.

Patterns of Chaos - first read it in my teens, so that makes it neo-Victorian. Just read it again expecting it to be embarrassingly crap, but was pleasantly surprised. Obviously dated but held up pretty well as a space opera.

Jerusalem by Alan Moore (you know, the Watchmen guy). Absolute brick of a book (1200 pages and really small print at least in the 1 volume hardback I picked up) a real mind bender, beautifully written once you get your head into it. Really enjoying it.

Was wondering about his million-word opus. May be purchasing
Lost patience with Alan Moore years ago. It seems to be a thing with those old school comics guys; Pat Mills is ga-ga, Frank Miller is raging bigot etc. Grant Morrison seems to be the only one still delivering the goods.

I occasionally thumb through 2000AD and Mills has just ruined ABC Warriors with mystical bullshit and Slaine has been unreadable for years. He's just obsessed with paganist shite and drags it in to everything.
As for Miller...This is the point where he turned into a parody of himself and he just gets worse.

This is pretty amazing sci-fi.
They say that with all sci-fi it's immediately apparent what era it was written in. This is very much a 2016 inspired post-apocalyptic story. Deliciously engaging planetary evolution stories to get your teeth stuck into as well.

Not bad, I am a massive David Gemmell fan so thought I would give his wife a go, as it were.
