Some time ago Michael Connelly, the author, visited New Zealand for a one off book reading and a promotion of the movie “The Lincoln Lawyer”. Watch the video below to discover my thoughts and feelings about the show – or there lack of – and the book too.
I am an avid reader but few books can be classified in the ‘can’t put down’ pile.
Others include:
Patriot Games by Tom Clancy
Moneymakers by Harry Bingham
The Partner by John Grisham
Casino Royale by Ian Fleming
24 hours by Greg Iles
Talking in Whispers by James Watson
None of these novels can be classified as ‘classic’ or ‘masterpieces’ but is there anything wrong with that?
Story development, character growth and dealing with weightier issues of the day are surely not limited to the realm of ‘the classics’.
And even if they were. Is there no argument for simply reading for pleasure?
Educating the Dragon youtube channel will be running a Book Review competition in October so why not start rereading your favourite novel and go subscribe to be to win.
Further things to do:
Watch as I explain why Patriot Games plays such a key role in growth and development as a reader.
