Did CS Forrester write the Hornblower series?

---

Yes. The books are excellent, if you haven't read them yet. I'm curious -- I can't find many Americans who admit to reading her books, but has anyone read Josephine Tey?

Shooter: put down that book! Go to the theater, watch the movie. Go to the bookstore. Go to "fiction." Go to the "F's". Pick up any book by "Furst, Alan".

I read his first two books, 11 Days and Known Dead and they were both pretty good.

This was the last book I read. Turned out to be somewhat different than the movie.

Right now I am reading The Anatomy of Motive by retired FBI agent John Douglas.

Did CS Forrester write the Hornblower series? Its been repeated on TV over here and is excellent. in a similar vein are the Richard Bolitho series by Alexander Kent who is also Douglas Reeman whoe writes novels about WW2 naval.

I just finished Senseless Secrets- The Failures of US Military Intelligence from George Washington to the Present, by LTC (Ret.) Michael L. Lanning.

It confirms why we consider the term "military intelligence" to be an oxymoron.

Reading "Blood Work" by Michael Connelly right now.

If anyone hasn't tried them, definitely give Kinky Friedman's detective novels a go. They're a bit of an acquired taste and they're light on police procedural or action if you like that kind of thing, but I love 'em.

History of HMS Hood to read. Each to his own!

Actually, that does sound interesting. I've been trying to get a copy of "Sink the Bismark!" by C.S. Forester for some time. Who is this book by?

[Mike Tx]

I was wrong about my book. It's called "Quiet Killers" by J. David Truby.

[Leigh Harrington]

Dont waste your money on Tom Clancys Red Rabbit.
Andy McNabs books about an Ex SAS trooper are excellent and everything I have read by Tami Hoag has ben excellent. At the moment its "Diary of a battle, the personal journals of Colonel Charles Wainwright 1861-65" He was a Federal Artillery Officer and its very good. After that I have the Antartic Expedition of Shackleton and the History of HMS Hood to read. Each to his own!

Thanks! He has been reading some computer book called Linux Unpeeled or something like that..he needs something more interesting that we can talk about. He reads stuff like that to keep him updated with stuff for work and he says it relaxes him, but I know he would enjoy something with a little more cops and robbers kind of action.

[Mike Tx]

I wouldn't say it was "good", it's just about what some guy says he knows about from some other people who did some stuff, and how they got these weapons and stuff like that. For all I know it's a crock, except the part about the mechanics of it.

No Bunny, it is a factual book about supressed weapons and how people have used them to kill people.

Oh, there were a couple of different books with that title; I did not want to just assume which one you were reading, so I picked the one I would probably read; silly rabbit.

My brothers would probably like the one you are reading....is it any good?
