Welcome to the Dick Francis reading group at Goodreads! All Dick Francis fans are invited to join! Also, check out our website at:
DickFrancisBooks.com to join our email discussion group. We are a group of Dick Francis fans who have been active online since 1997.

Feel free to introduce yourselves here. How long have you been reading Dick Francis? Which hero or book is your favorite - if you can choose just one! If not, give us a short list of your top favorites. :)

I started reading Dick Francis just over 20 years ago. I read the Reader's Digest condensed version of Break In and immediately started looking for other Dick Francis books to read. My favorites are Break In (of course!), Bolt, The Danger, Proof, Bonecrack, and whichever one I've most recently reread.

Edit: I see that I didn't have Bonecrack as one of my favorites on our list at Listopia! I've now added it. :) Two other favorites are: Smokescreen and Wild Horses. Is it fair to have seven favorites? :)

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has an address to write to DF. I used to have one for his publisher in NY but the hard drive on my computer broke and it's gone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Liz.

I would try the publisher of his latest, Silks.

anyone read john francome's Under Cover?

sorry its, Cover Up?

This is the address I use. It can take a long time, but he does almost always send an answer:

Dick Francis
Putnam Penguin, Inc.
375 Hudson Street
New York City, NY 10014

Thanks Luann,and everyone else. You are all stars.

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie. I've loved Dick Francis novels since I was about 13 (believe me, that's a long time ago) and I've read and re-read them all. My Mum always buys me the latest novel as a Christmas present - it's been a tradition for about 20years, the only problem with that is that I have to wait until Christmas!
My favourite is probably For Kicks but I love them all. I've just re-read In The Frame - I'm so dim that I forget what happens so it's a bit like reading the book for the first time!
I'm looking forward to joining in your discussions here.

Hi, Susan! Welcome to the group. Feel free to participate in our "Guess Mysteries by Plot" game - or any of the other threads here!

Hi! I'm new and would like to know the title of the Dick Francis book where the lead character is held in the bottom of a boat and barely has room to move...or am I confusing it with another author?

Hi, Donna! Welcome! The book you are asking about is Risk: Roland Britten, accountant and champion steeplechase jockey, wakes in darkness with his hands tied. He has no idea where he is or what is happening, and still he manages an escape -- until he is recaptured, and the deadly cat and mouse game proceeds.

Thanks, Luann. Risk was one of the first Dick Francis books I read(and I've read them all), so I could not remember the title. I want to read this one again.

Happy I could help!
