Is this the book of the movie with George Clooney?"


No, this one is more like a spy book. He was in the military and retired.

I'm a bit behind you, but also thoroughly enjoying it - I can see why he had such a hit with this character!


message 9611: by Tria (new)

Tria (trialia) Just finished If I Stay by Gayle Forman. One of very few YA novels that's ever made me cry like a waterspout. I highly recommend it (if you can deal with a few scattered medical/physical details from the aftermath of a car accident fatal to at least 2 of the 4 passengers...).

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Has finished Bloodstone - The Guardian's Curse - J. Michael Radcliffe Was a good story. Liked the characters and the way it moved along. Loved the 3 small short stories as well. Now I am going to read Falling - Cecilia Gray.

message 9619: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finished Falling - Cecilia Gray. I loved the characters that are like gods. How 1 person fell in love with an immortal (that she never knew), finding out her sister is a witch. Loved the Paranormal Romance style of it as well. I am listening to Great Expectations - Charles Dickens (my audio for the month) and reading Men at Work: Quick Read - Mike Gayle (A Quick Read) that hubby didn't fancy reading.

No. The George Clooney movie 'The American' is based on 'A Very Private Gentleman' by Martin Booth.

Finished Cocaine Blues Cocaine Blues (Phryne Fisher, #1) by Kerry Greenwood while on a recent business trip. Very enjoyable. I've heard there is a BBC or the Australian equivalent production based on this series. Hope it becomes available in the US sometime soon. I would love to see it.


message 9622: by [deleted user] (new)

I am reading Wicked Eddies. It starts kinda slow, but I like it; it feels like a good old mystery book so far.

Bill I'm currently reading The Razor's Edge by W. Somerset Maugham. It's excellent.

Tay | 261 comments I finished Secret Sanction by Brian Haig. It's got a lot of similarity to A Few Good Men. I enjoyed it. I'm now reading State Of The Union by Brad Thor

message 9640: by Lance (new)

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) | 421 comments Just finished The Moscow Club by Joseph Finder. Given Finder's pedigree, I thought I was going to get a reality-based espionage novel; instead, it was a global-conspiracy thriller using some of the hoariest tropes of that subgenre.

As long as you go in knowing that's what you'll get, it's good enough company. In case you're interested, my review is at http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....


message 9641: by Brian (new)

Brian Meeks (extremelyavg) | 8 comments Yesterday I read The Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison. I really enjoyed it. Today, I started The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Thus far, it is interesting.

Jane Myers | 3 comments Just finished The wrath of angels by John Connolly. Excellent as are all his books. About to start a novel by Judy Finnegan which was recommended by a colleague. Apparently a ghost story.

Moscow Club is one of his earlier ones, isn't it?

It's his first one, from 1991.

Bill, The Razor's Edge is a classic. Rent the movie with Ray Milland, I believe.
