Never been a fan of reading but I enjoy it recently mainly because I get bored in work.

Pablo Escobar - by his brother Roberto

Gazas autobiography

The iceman is epic. Check out Conn iggulden ghengis khan books,best series I've read.

I spend a lot of time reading, got an hour on the train everyday for work so read to pass the time.

Terry Pratchett one of my favourite authors, devastated when I head he had Alzheimer's. His diskworld books are superb.

Bill Bryson is a favourite of mine too, strongly recommend his books. Informative and a great sense of humour.

Stephen King is always a good read too, get your money worth out of his books.

I'm into non fiction as well. History gets me, prison books in these shitty Asian and South American gaols as well. Hell on earth those places, always good to read how people get by and manage to come out the other side.

Cheers!'once I have finished the few I've got to read I'm gonna start on Ghengis Khan, I seen a channel 4 or 5 documentary on him and it was superb.

You won't regret it mate. Top reads. His Caesar series is excellent as well, also he has done one on the war of the roses which I haven't read yet.

David Mitchell - The Bone Clocks
Owen Jones - The Establishment
Donna Tartt - The Goldfinch
Thomas De Quincey - Confessions of an English Opium-Eater
José Saramago - The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis

And in spite of that I'm still having Murakami withdrawal.

Dan Brown books are a good read if you like conspiracy theories and a lot of twists and turns.

The early (Non-Langdon) ones are pretty good too

release a book they make sure you get it (Eventually)

Reckon I read 3 books a week in good weather, with Winter that picks up

When not writing or researching I read David Gemmell novels. They fall under Sci-Fi and fantasy, but I would call them heroic fantasy a bit like GoT but smaller. I read one by chance and was hooked, he died recently a relatively young man. The only serious literature I dip into these days are the essays of Gore Vidal, American political satire.
