We have all had our pot shot at the contest
so what would you cecoomend as a wortwhile read

Bear in my mind how smart you are

For me its Tom Clancys Red Storm Rising but I am slightly biased cos I love everything he has done!

Jason

The Complete Works of Shakespeare.

the avengers,randall/hopkirk/the prisoner/the fugitive books.

before he wrote 'captain corelli's mandolin', which came high in the big read - (and trust me it's much better than the film), he wrote his excellent south american trilogy.

- the war of don emmanuels neither parts,

- senor vivo and the coca lord,

- the troublesome offspring of cardinal guzman

To advocate contemporary lit., I'd say anything from James Kelman or Kazuo Ishiguro, but if you want specifics, then it's 'A Disaffection' from the former and 'The Unconsoled' from the latter.

(Oh, and if you want an 'up all night' thriller that isn't the size of a housebrick, then Brian Moore's 'The Colour of Blood' remains unbeaten)
