Books... What are you reading? And what do you recommend?

[Steve French]

Doing a reread of The Count of Monte Cristo. For a 1250 page book, she rips. I can imagine waited with bated breath back in the 1840s or whatever the fuck for the next serial while coughing my lungs out with TB and dying at the ripe old age of 24. Though I probably would have been illiterate.

I've been reading Pineapple Grenade by Tim Dorsey when I take my car in for service. It's an hour every 5000 miles, so I'm only half through, but a good book if you like crazy Florida shit.

The only thing I read now days are the labels of seed packs.

I took a nice long soak in the tub last night. I re-read Shalako by Louis L'amour for about the fifth time. Still good.

The Oregon Files

Cussler is one of my favorite authors although I like his Dirk Pitt Sr. adventures the best

I also prefer Dirk Pitt novels (not so much the new ones written with his son), but I read for fairly short periods of time once a day, so I like the Oregon files because they're a bit more intense, and I can generally rest assured that even over just 30 minutes of reading there will be some crash bang whallop.

About a year-and-a-half ago, I started a journey through my youth re-reading all the books I loved back then.

Presently, I'm re-reading 'The Martian Chronicles' by Ray Bradbury.

On deck is "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote.

You might like W.E.B. Griffin too. His "Brotherhood of War" and "The Corps" series are the best IMO.

Thanks for that. Will have a look into it once I've gotten through Alistair Maclean again.

I’ve just finished reading The fuck up by Arthur Nersesian for about the 20th time. Though it’s fiction, the setting of the story is so obscure, it makes me feel better about my own life.

King is the best and worst writer in the world, at the same time......

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

He's not a bad guitar player though. I've jammed with him.

I loved and hated that series. The Lobstrosity is one of my favorite SK monsters.

Back in the day, when I still read, James Lee Burke was one of my favorites. His daughter writes too, but I never got into her stuff as much.
