    I just recently finished Frankenstein, and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Both were good, and totally unlike anything I expected. I just started Dracula a couple days ago. It's amazing so far. Nothing like any of the goofy films I've seen.

    Portrait of a Spy by Daniel Silva. I have read all of Silva's books and have found them hard to put down. It's a good thing I am retired as I can sleep in when I stay up to 0300 reading.

    Classics right there. I've never read Jekyll and Hyde, but the other two are fantastic reads. Good picks.

    I love Clancy. Though I haven't read anything in a while. If you like American history check out " When the river ran backwards " it's full of interesting bits of history info you probably never learned in school.
    Clancy is like crack to me...lol I'll have to check that out man

    Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.

    oooh... gunna add that to my wish list. Thomas Sowell is brilliant.
    I Just took a "comparative economics" class in may, and read sowell's A Conflict of Visions, Atlas Shrugged, and Skousen's The 5000 Year Leap among other assorted readings from Milton Friedman and F.A. Hayek. Sowell was great! Very neat to see how different opinions on human nature affect personal choices, social and economic polices, etc.. Had to take him slow though! Very dense reading.

    Just got caught upon the wheel of time and read the Odd Thomas series
    I am on Knife of Dreams. Reading it gets a little arduous at times.


    I'm on Crossroads Of Twilight. After Wheel of Time series, I'll be starting Game of Thrones series.

    Just finished 11/22/63. If you are a King fan, you are going to love this book! 850 pages and it kept my interest the entire way. He finally wrote another gem.

    Got that for Christmas. Looking forward to reading it as I am a huge SK fan. I'm actually reading Lisey's Story at the moment - just started it the other night. Also reading Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac. I don't often read 2 books at once, but one is upstairs and one is downstairs. Guess I'm a lazy reader lol

    I'm a big time reader and have a Kindle e-reader for the last 2 years. I love it! Anyway, the last book I read was Deja Dead by Kathy Riechs....she's the paleontologist that that the series Bones is based on and I LOVE Bones. Book is different though, but good. She's written a ton of books and this is the first one.
  • I have a Kindle as well. It has been my saving grace on this super long deployment. I am about to finish the third book in the Eragon series.

    One of my shipmates suggested the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, so that's next in line.

    I love the Dark Tower, a fantastic read.

    Seems like S. King is getting the love here today, I am about to begin 11/22/63 as well.

    I've been reading some King myself, Dolores Claiborne specifically. One I'm caught up on my backlog of reading material...well, who knows what's next. I've been reading and really enjoying Michael Connelly's novels.

    "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis. Just finished "That Used to be Us" by Thomas L Friedman. Will dig into "Boomerang" by Michael Lewis when finished wiith "The Big Short".

    "blink" by Malcolm Gladwell.

    Just started the "new novel by Michael Crichton," Micro. I put that in quotes because he passed away a couple years ago and it was in progress at the time and completed by Richard Preston. 50-60 pages in and so far so good, lost nothing in the finishing up process that I can tell.

    As I understand it, Crichton had several novels that were either fairly well along or at least hashed out when he died. I quite like his novels, and wish there were more of them.

    I only like his sci fi. Never got into his drama. Hopefully there's more than one sci fi to finish up.

    War Trash by Ha Jin. I'm about half way through and it's really good.
  • DirewolfDirewolf Posts: 3,493
    just finished Hunter S Thompson's Hell's Angels.
  • stephen_hannibalstephen_hannibal Posts: 4,316 ✭✭✭
    Finished the Punisher... it turned out better than the movie.
    Now I'm reading Ever Wonder Why: And Other Controversial Essays By Thomas Sowell.

  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,397 ✭✭✭
    Continuing on with the Michael Connelly novels in order, I'm on to Harry Bosch #12, Echo Park. As mystery detective novels go, I really enjoy this series.
