What book are you reading right now?
I read a lot of stuff, but lately I have been reading more military themed books.
I just finished "Not A Good Day To Die" by Sean Naylor. It's a recollection of the run up to Operation Anaconda and the ensuing battles in Afghanistan. Pretty riveting stuff and I would recommend highly.

I am reading the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. Set mostly in 1700's Scotland it's a cross between Romance and Action with a little bit of science fiction.
It's very graphic in all areas so on one page you can be reading about an incredible sex scene and on the next the surgery to repair a scrotum that was stabbed with a broadsword. Lots of war, and lots of Scottish history. Very good books!

A CR500 is a thing of beauty whatever the frame is made of, but me, I'd rather ride a hoon!

Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King. I know it's old, but I like his short stories better. My Pretty Pony is about the best story in the book.
The main character is a straight forward no bullshit farmer facing his own mortality and trying to give his grandson some Instruction, people don't listen to advice he says.
His style and commonsense can be so dry and funny at the same time. A must read.

Try the "Walking Drum" kind of off for what he writes you may like it.JBaze wrote:I tried to follow the Military books but just doesn't grab me you know? But I can sit down with one of my Louis L'Amore books and not get up till the end. He's the only author I have ever read that can grab my attention like that.
