What do you read? (Read 225 times)

    My favourite genre really is thriller/crime novels. Can't beat a good who done it. I've read a whole book on my Kindle just today and downloaded the next from that particular author.

    I also read the news online on a daily basis, mainly through the BBC site and occasionally Sky. On the weekend I physically buy The Sunday Times broadsheet. Call me old fashioned but there's nothing better on a Sunday morning then curling up on the sofa with a strong cup of coffee and reading an actual paper.

     

    I rarely read biographies or autobiographies but there are some I'm drawn to. There was a very harrowing one from a man who was an Irish gypsy and the violence and abuse he faced growing up. Stephen Fry's autobiography was a must read.

        You're fine here, it's not about running.

          I dig crime novels too. I dig adventure stories mostly though. I have read TONS of mountaineering stories, also like to read Literotica from time to time. I can think of at least 5 other ways to spend a Sunday morning, and none of them involve the paper.

            I love mystery and psychological thrillers.  My favorite authors are Michael Robotham, Jonathan Kellerman, Tana French, Gillian Flynn and John Grisham.  I love Stephen King, too, although I don't typically read horror.  He is just a bad habit developed when I was a teenager.  I find that I listen to far more audiobooks than actually reading printed books.  It's what I listen to on my runs.  So, I guess this thread can still be about running.
