I have finally started reading the Barnaby novels, having been a big fan of the TV series since my teens.

I only heard about the show (which I like a lot) fairly recently and had no idea there were books available but not surprised).

New Kindle read: The Hunted Woman (1916) by James Oliver Curwood.
Starting tomorrow, my latest non-Kindle book will be Lord Peter: The Complete Lord Peter Wimsey Stories* (1972) by Dorothy L. Sayers.
* All of the short stories, not the novels.

Ye, it's a great show so long as you don't take it too seriously. It's so different to the likes of Morse (also a great show as are Lewis and Endeavour, and even better books) or A Touch of Frost, but it's so good. The books actually came first and there are only five (or six maybe, I forget and CBA checking), but they make up the first corresponding episodes of series 1, which now that I think about it only has five episodes so there must be five books. I remember a few years ago I read this article where somebody had calculated the murder rate in Midsomer, it wasn't good Originally Posted by The Darknight Detective

The thing about the show is, after you get through three eps you realise that every single episode is exactly the same. Also, it kind of sucks that Barnaby never manages to actually catch the culprit before they end up dead themself, he would be out of the job after a couple of cases I'd think...

Yeah, sometimes I think I'd rather live in Gotham City than there. Originally Posted by Enigma

Yeah, while the show is formulaic, I always enjoy the ride. Originally Posted by maninthemacintosh1606

To be fair, the show is supposed to be formulaic

Finally getting around to the Wheel of Time books. I've heard so much about them, lets see if they live up to the hype. There are like 14 books in the series but don't think I'm gonna try and knock them all out just yet

The Doors of Stone, Winds of Winter, and now The Thorn of Emberlain Why is that fantasy writers take a decade off before they finish? Originally Posted by Hiromi
