Action/Adventure Aficionados discussion

It looks like spy has won our poll for the theme for October's group read. Please submit your nominations, and I will put a poll up next weekend.

Might I suggest and my book

I'll nominate

This is my nomination.

'Ol school... or

I've never read a Bond novel!

Good point Lee!

I'm with Lee on Goldfinger. I've never read Bond, either!

Oh, I read the new one by Jeffrey Deaver and the entire Young Bond series (Both Great by the way) but never any original bond...

I nominate The Gray Man.

Never read Fleming? Wow I almost hesitate to nominate (was the rime intentional or unintentional...or was it a code???? dun,dun,dun)...anyway, I think you'd enjoy Fleming, he's a bit dated...and to some annoying, but can be a good read.

I was thinking of going back for some of the older spy/fi stuff, (Fleming qualifies of course) but so many of them are totally out of print.

I also thought of the Secret Histories by Simon Green or the Repairman Jack books by F.Paul Wilson or even The Puppet Masters by Robert Heinlein which is very reminiscent of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. as the invasion is handled by a secret organization that doesn't officially exist and whose headquarters you enter through a stamp shop or some other innocent looking spot...but I though those might be pushing it as they could also qualify under science fiction or urban fantasy, so I'll go more traditional. How about I nominate:

The Brotherhood of the Rose

I've haven't read it yet, but recently picked up Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy by John Le Carre.

That is what I nominate!

(plus the movie is coming out soon)

I'm going to put the poll up on Saturday, September 10, so you have two more days to get your nominations in.

The Poll is up. Vote before September 17th, when it closes.

Yay!

I always hear the theme to the movie when I read the title...sad.

I've had this song in my head all day! Not a hardship since it's a great song.

Now I have this song in head right now.

Join the club, James!
