What are you reading?

Texascop2 mentioned The Gift of Fear in another thread and it got me to wondering what everyone out there is reading.

Currently I'm reading The Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan, it's book 5 in the Wheel of Time series. After that I've already got The Revolution - A Manifesto by Ron Paul, then Lord of Chaos which is Robert Jordan's sixth book in his epic series.

I only read books that have pop-outs.

I found about half of Andy McNab's Andy McNab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia books on the discount shelf at Half-Price Books for $1 each so I've been going through those. I'd read Bravo Two Zero years ago but had never tried any of his fiction until now. Pretty good stuff, although I've had to Google some of his British terms.

Popouts or centerfolds?

Someone asked this a few months ago, and my answer is the same... more Cormac Mccarthy. I've been picking at it slowly, but I'm pacing myself, so I don't run out of it too soon.

"The Bible of Unspeakable Truths" by Greg Gutfeld, host of Fox News "Redeye"

It's great!

Good time to read WoT as the last two books are coming out this and next year. I started the series back in 1993 before I'd met my wife. I had no idea that the book would be a series of 14 books and that it'd take 18 years to publish all of them and the author would die before the series was completed.

If I'd known I'd have put it down and walked away back in 1993. I feel sorry for those that started 1990 with the first book. The fans keep building though and it's a great series.

Amazing what has happened those 17 years from when I first picked them up.

I just finished "Joker One" by Donovan Campbell and "Force Recon Diary 1969" by Bruce Norton.

I was never able to serve in the Armed Services myself and I find myself interested in books from a soldiers POV rather then straight historical accounts.

And sorry Texas1911, there were no pop ups!!

I just finished Lee Child's latest book, 61 hours. If you enjoy gunfire, ass-kicking, gratuitious gun shot wounds, suspense, and more gunfire, I recommend the Jack Reacher series. Also just finished Glenn Beck's The Overton Window. If you listen to his radio program or watch his show, you will follow the story easily. An all around entertaining and enlightening read.

Mack bolan the executioner

Love Lee Child's stuff -- you can always count on a book or two a year from him, too.

Trying to piece together my William Johnstone series, the Ashes and last gunfighter stuff is good. Vince Flynn has a new one coming out soon.

See some familiar titles here, I remember reading the Mack Bolan series several years ago... good pulp fiction type of read, and I wasnt aware there was a new Reacher book out, Lee Child created an interesting charecter there. I also read the Wheel of Time series about 15 years ago, got through book 6 or 7 and then got burned out. I am reading The Survivors Club and On Killing right now....

I am reading The Survivors Club and On Killing right now....

"On Killing" is excellent.....Grossman is an amazing individual.

I also recommend "And a hard rain fell..." by John Ketwig. He is a liberal activist whom I met about 25 years ago and have kept in touch with ever since. We completely disagree on politics, but his book, which is an account of his tour in Vietnam is great.

Oh... I am currently reading "Mandate for Leadership"

 

[smittyb]

"The Heritage of the Desert" by Zane Grey. I am working on getting a first edition collection together of all his stuff.

 

[Clockwork]

I finished The Fires of Heaven last night and the ending was so strong that I've opted to skip Ron Paul's book (for now) and go right to Lord of Chaos, the next book in the Wheel of Time series. What a great series! Robert Jordan was truly a master of his craft. The first chapter of Lord of Chaos is frickin' 72 pages long. >_<

 

[Texan2]

Just finished "The Walk"....interesting and pretty quick read.
