I'm currently reading "Devil in the White City". I like the history based stuff. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is still one of my recent favorites as well as "Marks of Cain", "The Genesis Secret" and "The Lost Symbol".

Just read these on my Kindle:

Wool (Books 1-5) by Hugh Howey - great story about a future in a poisoned world. People are surviving in underground silos. This could be a good movie.

The Old Man and The Wasteland by Nick Cole - another post-apocalyptic story, in the vein of The Old Man and The Sea. Terrorists nuked cities in the US. Story takes place 40 years later in the desert southwest.

:cool:

:D

Hey, deja vu... I've read that ^ somewhere else... :D

Not reading any great books at the moment, need to get back into it, but there's too much on TV I want to watch now and with the DVR I'm watching my shows in the evenings right now...

If any of you like to read on the PC, there are some really good online stories...

I'm sure some of you have heard of Al Steiner...

You might have to sign up for an account to access that, but it's free...

Pretty much any of his stories are excellent... some adult content/sex in some, but I'm sure you pervs won't mind that.

As far as actual books to get... we've talked about this a lot in the Sci-Fi thread, but the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons is THE best set of books I've ever read.

Thanks kurbie :)

I just finished

http://www.amazon.com/Final-Salute-Story-Unfinished-Lives/dp/159420165X

Very good. Very difficult to get thru. Not light or happy reading but worth it.

Working on

http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Lives-Down-Worlds-Dangerous/dp/B005Q8F6EQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331137094&sr=1-1

Also good, written by a British EOD officer in Iraq.

Only 1/2 way thru this one....in one night.

I enjoy a lot of books to varying degree, but few keep me up at night to the point where I look at the clock and get pissed after I realize I am awake at 2:00 and the alarm is going off in 3 hours.

Last night was like that with this book...
