    I've read The Monkeys Paw, that was W.W. Jacobs though. I've got a few horror/ghost story collection books. I've only read older horror/ghost type stories though.

    Last month I read the entire Adrian Mole series of books(Sue Townsend)
    I then read The Quarry by Iain Banks
    Currently reading The Queen and I by Sue Townsend
    I think I may have a thing for deceased authors

    I've just read a most brilliant book!
    The curious incident of the dog in the night-time.by Mark Haddon
    Its about a 15yr old boy with aspergers syndrome.
    The author has written a lot of childrens books and this was his 1st one that was for adults even tho he released a childrens version of it aswell at the same time.a very insightfull book and well written
    I've also recently read The shock of the fall by Nathan Filer
    This one won the Costa Book of the year in 2013
    Nathan Filer is a registered CPN and its his 1st book
    Its about a young boy who's diagnosed with schizophrenia
    Once again another insightfull book.
    I highly recommend both

    Thanks, those are both the kind of thing I like, so I'll add them to my ever growing "must read" list...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Another that may interest you suzi is The Humans by Matt Haig.
    The main characters view on humans is based on the authors experiences of suffering panic attacks

    Mark Haddon's book is excellent. I read it quite a few years ago and it's always stuck with me. I love how he numbered the chapters to reflect the main characters mannerisms.

    I'm reading Floodtide by Clive Cussler love his books as they are full of suspense

    Have you read any of his others? I've got A spot of bother and The red house on my to read pile

    I've heard The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time is supposed to be very good, I've not read it though. Maybe I'll get hold of it and read it next once I've finished reading Robin Hood, which is taking me a lot longer than I thought it would.

    I always meant to but never got round to them. I should add them to my to read pile but if I add any more the pile would collapse!
