I'll be:
Re-reading Live and Let Die and OHMSS by Ian Fleming which are two of his best books.
I'm also going to read The Library of America's collected works of John Steinbeck. I've probably read about half of Steinbeck's books. It's time I read the rest and reacquainted myself with Grapes of Wrath and Travels with Charlie.
And Finally I'm going to re-read all the Raymond Chandler books in the order he wrote them.
For me:
Fleming's work is the yardstick by which I measure all thrillers.
I use Steinbeck's to assess the work of all serious novelists.
And I compare all crime writers (including myself) to Chandler just to see how far short we all fall of the Master.
Cheers,
Jim

Hi, I am a Leadership and Management Assessor up to Level 7 with ILM & CMI. I send your book out to all my students on course as a guide to assist their learning on the knowledge. This has been by far the best management theory book so far, easy to read and just enough information. I have the 2nd edition which has much more included. Will you be bringing out new editions of the other little books?
