Hinton. Has he read "DaVinci Code"? It's exciting and the chapters are short so it doesn't feel like you have to read a big long chapter if you don't want to. "The Time Traveller's Wife" is also good. A really good book that’s short but has a good story is “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton.

And I actually think he might enjoy the newer Ross O'Carroll Kelly books than anything else. lol. Liz - Yes, and then you and I and Simon and Laurence can all sit around and discuss wit and whimsy in the Austen novels. It will be like our own personal book club. ;) Megan – Ooh, One Bullet Away sounds good. And I actually think he might enjoy the newer Ross O’Carroll Kelly books than anything else. lol.

It's written from the perspective of a Marine that fought in this Iraq war. I don't know if he likes military books. Isn't there a new Roddy Doyle book out? My husband has been asking for that one. Oh, and he always love anything by John Banville. (Is that how you spell it?) One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick. It’s written from the perspective of a Marine that fought in this Iraq war.

He's reading London Fields at the moment which he's also enjoying. Others off the top of my head: Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, anything by Iain Banks (Iain M. Banks if he likes sci-fi) and Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. (My fella loved his short story collection too - The Nasty Bits) My fella read The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis recently, he thought it was brilliant.
