What book are you reading now?

Just finished Ken Follett's A Dangerous Fortune, and starting James Patterson's Worst Case.

 

John Sandford's Rough Country, and Roses Are Red by James Patterson.

 

Clapton The Autobiography.
Im a big fan and this is my 2nd time through.

 

Robert B. Parker's God Save The Child and Potshot.

 

The Foundation Trilogy - Asimov.

 

John Connolly's The Black Angel.

 

Once again, "The Last Planet" by Andre Norton . . . a solid sci-fi tale about a remnant of the Stellar Patrol in the twilight years of the Galactic Empire . . . one of the first sci-fi novels I ever read, and still in my top 10 of all novels. Whenever I need a light, good read, it fits the bill.

Never read that one, but I have read the Landover series. Good tales (my wife says I'm her Paladin )

 

Just finished John Connolly's The Unquiet, just started his The White Road.

 

Worth Dying For, by Lee Child.

 

The White Rose, by Glen Cook.

 

"The Wreck of the Mary Deare" by Hammond Innes (c 1956)

Read it a long time ago - ran across it in my library by accident and was compelled to read it again. Good tale.

 

The Postcard Killers, by James Patterson and Liza Marklund.

 

"Right ho, Jeeves", by PG Woodhouse

 

A Guide to Rational Living by Ellis and Harper.
After the 50th birthday the motto is: the next fifty years are going to be different from the last fifty years. But it's hard to break old habits, especially the habits of thought. Ellis and Harper keep it pretty simple.
Their idea is that we have a tendency to awfulize our problems - saying "My wife hates me/I've got a lousy job/select other alternative and that's AWFUL!" Taking the drama out of your viewpoint brings you closer to managing the problems and achieving your goals.

And when I need a break from that - mostly comics. Commies From Mars or Tales of The Leather Nun.

 

"The 'Canary' Murder Case", by S.S. Van Dine

 

Michael Connelly's The Scarecrow.

 

Moving on to my fourth or fifth S.S. Van Dine murder mystery. I love these!

it's quite amusing​

 

Currently I'm reading State of Fear by Michael Chrichton.
Very very good author..writer of Jurassic Park and the Andromeda Strain

 

The Lincoln Lawyer, by Michael Connelly - promised my wife I'd take her to see the movie, so I figured I better bone up...

 

The Prydian Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander.
It's the collection 5 books in 1. It's a very very well put together story

 

^ Heard a local rock radio station talking a bout that book the other morning, supposed to be a good read.

I'm currently reading "Still Life With Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins

 

800 Leagues on the Amazon, by Jules Verne

 

Now reading When Darkness Falls by James Grippando.

Link goes to free download for Kindle. For other eReaders, check their store, as it's available free for other devices as well. My free digital copy is from the Sony Library Store.

 

Echo Park, Michael Connelly.

 

I'm very close to finishing The Silence of The Lambs by Thomas Harris, I've read Hannibal Rising and I'll be reading Hannibal all by Thomas Harris. I love his writing style and the fact that he takes you to such a messed up person, I find all the killers he writes about extremely interesting.
If you can handle a thrilling and suspenseful book(s) I'd suggest him.

 

Good reads, redtearsblackwings - have you read Red Dragon yet? IMO, the best of the lot - lays the foundation for all of the others in the line.

 

I've not yet read Red Dragon because I haven't found it in the book store. I've only been able to find Silence of The Lambs in second hand book stores, I'm gonna have a look for it again but apparently it's hard to get.

 

A couple of possibilities:

I just started reading Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz. It's the last installment of the Alex Rider series. I love that series

 

Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged"

Interesting read.

 

Classic!

Just finishing Bad Blood, by John Sandford. Just starting Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down again, for about the fifth time - I have to read it every once in a while to get the juices flowing.

 

Just finishing The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
