Dear all,
my name is Milan, and I am an agent/promoter of the book that was written by my friend Thomas. I like to read general fiction, non/fiction, and sometime crime fiction. I also work as a researcher in the field of Slavic literature.
Several years ago I started reading as many books in English as I could, because I wanted to develop my language skills and understanding, but also, I wanted to have the pleasure of reading English books in English. So far, I am quite happy with the range of authors I could grasp and understand. Yet, there are names that are still unreachable like A. S. Bayatt, Henry James, Iris Murdoch, Joyce Carol Oates, etc.
Currently I am reading the novel by Alison Lurie, The truth about Lorin James. Before this one, I read Foreign Affairs and I was really amazed how masterful and simple her writing is, but yet, how profound insights she offers to a reader.
I hope I will also have the opportunity to share my experience with the novel that I would like to promote and suggest to all of you.
But, that will happen in another topic.
All the best from cold Belgrade,
Milan

Re: Hi, another newbie is here!
I would recommend Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series, if you can get it. It starts with "The Black Echo." There are 15-16 books in the series so far. For more details go to www.fantasticfiction.co.uk. It is a pretty easy site to find your way around, but is very unforgivng of spelling or grammatical errors, so be very specific.

Thank you for the recommendation. Several people told me about Michael Connelly, so I will now definitely get the books.
And in regards to the web site, my friend, Thomas Rose-Masters made fantasticfiction.co.uk his homepage on the computer.
