Re: What We Reading ?

Picked up a copy dvd of 'No Country for Old Men' & was umming & aahing whether to read the book first after seeing it was McCarthy.
I tend to diversify a bit, alongside Pelecanos I think Dennis Lehane is superb but he hasnt written anything really for a while. I've got 'Gone Baby Gone' on dvd to watch as well which I'm looking forward to but its been shelved here with similarities to the Madeleine McCann case.
Nelson DeMille is always worth a gander but none of them are short but I've never been disappointed, & I always return to James Lee Burke every 2 or 3 years & I've heard very good reviews of his latest.
Ellroy is an acquired taste I fiond & I've enjoyed a few of his but I've just not been in the mood for him lately. 'The Cold Six Thousand' is still sitting on the shelf waiting to be read after being out a good 5 years.
I also enjoy Henning Mankell which came as a surprise as when you think about his books they should be as boring as fcuk, but I've always enjoyed him
