Am once more bookless - and am horrible when I haven't got anything to read. Dp is going to go on a library mission for me tomorrow - what can I ask him to get?
Likes -
*History books
*Novels with v well researched historical detail that aren't stupid - think Sansom rather than Philippa Gregory
*Stephen King but have read everything
- Post apocalyptic stuff, if it's good - but have read most of the ones that are generally recommended on here
- books about historical exploration etc
- things that are well-written without the writer's being up themselves (so no Ian Mckewan)
- classics
Hates -
- no chick lit
- nothing claiming to be a literary masterpiece - none of yer Sebastian Faulkes etc
- nothing that has appeared on a Richard and Judy type list
- no Kate Atkinson
- no Scandinavian crime fiction
Please, please help. :)
