Re: I need a new book.
I read three authors relatively exclusively.
Jim Butcher - Dresden Files: Humorous fantasy based - Codex Alera series: Much harder fantasy, maybe best books I ever read Lee Childs - Jack Reacher series: Huge series about an ex-Army MP who is basically just a badass Janet Evonovich - Stephanie Plum series: Ok I admit, these are probably more traditionally "chick books" but they are hilarious, about a female bounty hunter in New Jersey. You may recall "One for the Money" from a few months back, they made her first book into a movie. Like all movies did not really do it justice.

Re: I need a new book.
I'm reading "Big Bets" - it is the history of how the electric utilities came to be and how that one invention did more to change society than anything in the past 200 years. It primarily focuses on the south east, but the whole electric and gas utility industry is so intertwined, it covers a lot of the midwest and eastern seaboard.

Re: I need a new book.
I started listening to books last summer.The Jack Reacher series is pretty good.The Repairman Jack series is great.He's a private dick who ends up in cases involving monsters and the paranormal.Joe McKinney does very good end of the world zombie books.I just finished with a book called "The association" by Bentley Little.Very good story about a couple who move into a gated community only to find out the the home owners association is run by insane people.It gets really wild.The enemy is a great book by Charlie Higson.Deals with children living in london after a plague has turned adults into cannibals."The Five" by Robert McCammon is a pretty good book about a rock band being stalked by a sniper.
Happy reading. |

Re: I need a new book.
If you want to read about the 10 year hunt for Bin Laden then:
Manhunt, by Peter Bergen is great. Riviting to read. Describes the take-down in the minutest detail as well. http://www.npr.org/2012/05/01/151766...sama-bin-laden |

Matt Reilly - Pretty sure his Aussie character is based on our own esteemed Aussie moderator
Brad Thor W.E.B. Griffin Clive Cussler. Though not a fan of the latest books now that his son is helping him write.

Just getting done "The Affair" which I had to buy 3 copies of. 1st on my wife knocked off the sink and into the reading throne and after buying another copy, I did the same thing! So now after doing my reading and such , I move it to a safer spot. Most expensive read ever.

Re: I need a new book.
Try Lone Survivor The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10 by Marcus Luttrell.
I could not put it down! American Soldier by General Tommy Franks is another

Re: I need a new book.
Frank Peretti, This Present Darkness, Piercing The Darkness.
I also like Clive Cussler, early books; and the Jack Reacher series. If you can find them, try some of John Christopher...The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, and The Pool of Fire form the Tripods Trilogy. (Try Ebay). C.S. Lewis, The Space Trilogy. Andy McNab is ex-SAS and has written some interesting books; gets mixed riviews but good for entertainment. For starters... |

Re: I need a new book.
If you fancy non fiction then this book is a fantastic read
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/092448...7152760&sr=8-1 I've reread it maybe three times and I am always amazed at the hardships he has gone through. A very good sea yarn. |
