I've read all is books. LOVED him. He was a very witty man. I met him on two occasions in Salisbury many years ago.
Tom Sharpe, Ian Banks and now Leslie Thomas. Great losses, all of them.

Brilliant writer, his wartime stories are great, I'm a big fan. Sad to see him pass.

That whole genre of writers is disappearing fast

[McMouse]

I really enjoyed his books and also saw the sun rise over Bugis Street. Rip.

He said, the three most valuable words he ever wrote.

ALSO banned in Ireland - o God what a god-send !

Not extravagant he said, but the DT commented that he owned 26 wonderful houses - not at the same time of course
