I have love to read asterix and tintin as well ... (i bought them all when I started working).

 

Nobody reads Michael Crichton?  it's a pity he passed on in year 2008.

 

He has an alternate pen name " John Lange" which he uses when he was younger  and if you are interested , the books under his pen name can be found in our libraries.

You must have grown up to be a fine connoisseur of lines and curves.  

 

I read those too! No money to buy last time so I read them at bookstores. Sometimes borrow from library too but difficult to find coz always out on loan.

Just like 古龙， 瓊瑤 story books cannot read too much.

What hardy boys lah, famous five, secret 7 lah, all these are our usual favourites last time.

What you like to read is quite personal.

 

I like Michael Connelly and John Connolly,

Read them all.

 

Then Lee Child is great.

 

And if you like historic sailing war novels then Patrick O'Brien.

 

All those 4 authors do series and all are in the libraries here.

 

As are the Bernard Cornwell 'Sharpe' novels.

 

Mind you you have to have spare time.

I read the first 3 and then stopped. Felt the story was getting too complicated for simple young me then.

Pretty boring actually. The first book was still good enough to wade through. The rest i won't bother.
