Check out the first movie of it they made, called Island of Lost Souls, with Charles Laughton. Really good stuff too.

I read The Time Machine and War of the Worlds by Wells, but don't remember if I've read anything else by him. I don't think I read Moreau.

Ya, I'm for sure going to read War of the Worlds. I'm his new biggest fan.

yeah, HG Wells is the bollocks!

Given the bond stuff going on, I'd recommend 'Casino Royale'.

First of the series - a white-hot read for most of it, shows you how tough he is, and shows you why he's such a badass after this.

I read all of those. They were really pretty fun. It's easy to see from the books why Bond became such a sensation as a fictional character before he got into any movies.

The World is Flat. It might interest you diablo, if you havent already read it.

Haven't, just looked it up. Have you read his other books? If so, does this book build upon any concepts and should I read them first?

A friend has recommended China, Inc. - have you read that?

Read this when it first came out. Well done but perhaps a bit dated.

GF and I have recently enjoyed Tortilla Curtain and East is East by TC Boyle.

I have not read any of his other books, but this one is fine on its own I think.

No, I have not read China, Inc.

I enjoyed The Kite Runner a lot and would recommend it to others.
