Ask for recommendations how to start off on the internet and you get the same pretentious wanky comments saying their favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 or whatever that is in Celsius
Fuck that, get into some rip-roaring yarns, thrillers etc
Jack Reacher is a good place to start. Spider Shepherd is even better
The Breach by Patrick Lee is an amazing mini series
Though my favourite adventure of all time is The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared
Thanks for the reminder. My brother accidentally bought me the second one for my birthday a few years ago, and I stopped reading it when I realised that there was a first book. I completely forgot to start the first one when it was delivered.
Oh what a lovely surprise awaits you. The second one is nowhere near as good!
