Allan Folsom is an excellent fiction read - The Day After Tomorrow (no relation to the movie) and Day of Confession. Both thrillers with murder, spies, killings, the regular stuff. I like his style of writing although the ending is a bit 'abrupt' and too satisfying

For non-fiction, I've just read 'Bono in conversation with Michka Assayas'. Gives an insight into the band's early years till now, his work in Africa, why he's a poverty activist and so on. Good bedtime reading, it comes across very sincerely and you get a genuine sense of respect for the man.

Read all except 'A Painted House' and 'Skipping Christmas'. Both are sitting on my shelf though

Honestly, I think his standard has dropped somewhat - or maybe expectations were unjustly high. The Firm was an absolute classic, I liked The Brethren and The Rainmaker as well.

Hmm, I thought it was okay, I like his writing style irregardless - its simple to read, humouress yet satisfies you. Story line was a bit shallow. 'The Broker' which was out early this year is a better read IMO. Awaiting his next book which should be out early next year
