Recently life has become fking boring. I know having a routine is good but this is getting on my tits.

Wake up
work
pub
bed


Repeat 7 days a week.

Can someone suggest some decent reading material. I'm a big fan of Lee Child and have also read the Bourne books, so crime/mystery/spy type suggestions would be great.

If you like Lee Child then I would thin you would like Clive Cussler, especially the Dirk Pitt books and the Oregon Files books. I do and so does the chap who put me onto Lee Child.

Try having kids and remove the 'pub' entry.

My cat could get through all of Grisham's output in a weekend.

Skipping the pub would save a fortune, and your health.

Some ideas here:
http://www.crackunit.com/2009/04/20/things-to-do-t...

  • Go into a pub you’ve never been into before and order a drink you’ve never tried before.
  • Paint one wall of your house a totally new colour.
  • Go to a record store and buy a CD you’ve always thought you should have heard but haven’t. Then go home and listen to it. Properly.
  • Buy an ingredient from a ’specialty supermarket’ and make something with it.
  • Gamble £5 at a local arcade.
  • Go to a class in something you’ve never done before at a local leisure facility

Normally its a quick pint(s) and a game of pool but more recently I've been in there until 10pm

I'm interested in doing Systema but the nearest place is 60 miles away.frown

Those people you drink with each night? are they older than you? if so, did it ever occur that they are pissing their lives away?

Then have a look in the mirror.

Life is amazing, get out and do something, before it is to late, and you begin to wonder what you did with your 20's. You will never get them back.

Take it from me, I turned 30 last year and had a very scary moment of recolection. Yes I work hard and believed I deserved a drink each night but I had started to become the sort of person I said I would never be.

Oh, and Jonathan Kellerman books are a good read.

You should start committing crimes. Start off small and work your way up steal some chewing gum, then maybe a few fillet steaks. Soon you'll begin to feel alive again.

Honestly though, begin to create something, anything. Do it for a reason, or for no reason at all. Draw, shape, create, collect, produce, construct and destroy.
Think of it like pregnancy, you'll give birth to something.
