If my memory serves, which alas, it frequently does not these days, I think that recently I moaned that I had lost interest in reading - which to me is the equivalent of losing a leg - or two! Thus, I am delighted to inform you - because I know how y'all worry about me! - that this afternoon I picked up a book and restarted reading again!
I would dearly love to tell you that it was a magnificent but deeply complex classic on philosophy but, alas, it was the exact opposite. It was the latest Jack Reacher thriller written by that brilliant - and British! - scribbler, Jim Grant a.k.a. Lee Child. Nobody does 'crash-bang-wallop' thrillers better than him.
I'm lovin' it!
And here I thought it would be The AL Bright Story Readers...

The wife likes the Jack Reacher books. I prefer scifi for cheap escapism, especially the Scottish writer Iain Banks.

I was the same. Couldn't concentrate and had to make notes on who was who. After a couple of years I'm back... I'm over Lee Child. Read one you'd read 'em all.
I'm very keen on Michael Connolly. Try him.
