This is a good book. It's always nice to read something different, and crime in historical England is definitely something new to read. Matthew Shardlake is an interesting, flawed protagonist.

I would love to read it soon. But first Wolf of the Plains as that is the first book of the series.

This is a top series. My favorite is The Subtle Knife. The darkest and most adventurous of them all. The movie was just a fast-forwarded version of Northern Lights.

I guess you must be considering this after Elizabeth: The Golden Age released. :) Personally I think as long as the fiction is engaging, it doesnt matter if the historical facts are inaccurate (although if they are blatantly neglected I might disagree). The Da Vinci Code is a good example...

Actually the movie brought a lot of clarity to the book. Especially the final scene which explains things so well. Agreed though, you need to read the book first before watching the film

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome...

Lord of the Rings series. But I'd love to read more fantasy books from different authors.

This is a must-read. A real testimony to the power of the human spirit.

On the train, or in an established bookstore (Borders, Waterstones).

There is another Conn Iggulden series about. It's about the rise of Gengis Khan Wolf of the Plains Lord of the Bow

My favorite author would be JRR Tolkein Books are a great stimulant for my imagination and enable me to visualise situations. Personally, of the authors I've read, Tolkein is exceptionally good at enabling the reader to visualise himself/herself in a setting that is described. As a nature...

Unnatural Death by Michael Baden M.D. with Judith Adler Hennessee Unsolved Murders and Mysteries by John Canning Both are contained in one book and make for interesting reading.

One of the most thrilling writers I've had the pleasure to read. The words that come to my mind are absorbing and intriguing. Moreover, the climaxes of most of his books are astonishing. List of books The Naked Face A Stranger In The Mirror Rage of Angels If Tomorrow Comes The...

Both The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons were great novels, with my preference being Angels and Demons. I just loved the last third of Angels and Demons. Very dramatic and lots of twists. The carmalengo is one of my all-time favorite characters. Liked Da Vinci Code movie too. Ian...

What a superb book this is! I have read it only twice so far, and was more hooked onto it the second time! Favorite lines in this book Gandalf: That leaves you just ten minutes. You will have to run Bilbo: But- Gandalf: No time for it Bilbo: But- Gandalf: No time for that...

Excellent series. I would recommend them. It gave me a real idea of Ancient Rome.

I am very interested in reading The First Circle (May book of the month) I have been fascinated by literature about Soviet Russia. Maybe because I studied Russia in History as a subject.

Greetings all. I am a very passionate book lover. I like Fantasy and Crime novels. Favorite Books-LOTR, Harry Potter series, His Dark Materials series I was looking for a book readers forum and it sounds like I've come to just the right place!

Tragic book but well-written. Fascinating illustrations.

For me-LOTR is one book. It is mentioned by Tolkein at the beginning where he wanted to make a really long tale. Favorite Book-Two Towers. Theres so much going on here, with Gandalf's return, the Three Hunters's pursuit of the kidnapped hobbits, Theoden's restoration to an active king...
