Before I go on I must say that the Bird's of Prey series are my all time fave. I have read BOP four times and the others 3 times. Having a bit of trouble getting into Triump of the Sun....Does it get better?
Books I love:
Lonesome Dove---------------Larry McMurtry-If you liked the miniseries, this is a rare book where the movie actually represented the book. (Read thrice)
Point Of Impact---------------Stephen Hunter (Read 4 times-awesome Novel on snipers-fantastic story and several sequels--Main character is Bob Lee Swagger nicknamed "Bob the Nailer" From reading some of your faves...most will love this novel...Mark Wahlberg is currently filming "Shooter" based on POI. After reading POI you may find yourself questioning the casting of Wahlberg--A Tommy Lee Jones type would have been a better choice in my opinion.
HMS Unseen--------------------Patrick Robinson--If you like a good story with Navy SEAL OPS.
The Count of Monte Cristo----Alexander Dumas--Unabridged of course.
The Sea Wolf-------------------Jack London--nuff said. (read thrice)
An American Life--The Ronald Reagan Autobiography-regardless of your political views, this is a very interesting read.
Tea with Terrorists-------------Craig Winn---This novel is half fiction and half non-fiction...The authors traveled to the Middle east and met with members of Hamas, Hezzbolah, Islamic Jihad and El Fatah. They studied the Holy Koran and other sacred Islamic writings to learn the heart of the Muslim Faith...This novel will open your eyes---if you want your eyes opened.
Tuesdays with Morrie----------Mitch Albom---will warm your heart and make you value more the years you've had and treasure even more those that are to come.
Mortal Allies--------------------Brian Haig-----Son of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig...The book series revolves around a wise cracking JAG Officer Sean Drummond...entertaining reads..you will laugh out loud at times.
The Man Who Listens to Horses--Monty Roberts...You'll not only learn about horses...you may even learn something about yourself.
The King Arthur series----Bernard Cornwell---An intriguing re-telling of the beloved King.
Term Limits---------------------Vince Flynn--Main character is Mitch Rapp, a counter terrorism operative ensconced heavily in black ops.
David Morrell---his early stuff. (I Have read his early stuff several times)
Two books by Louis L'amour--not westerns
Last of the Breed--This cold war novel finds American test pilot Joe Mack prisoner in a Soviet Siberian prison camp. Joe, half Sioux-half Cheyenne and raised in the Indian ways by his grandfather and an Olympic caliber athlete, escapes into the wilderness and draws upon his Indian ways to survive...Tracked by a Yakut (spelling?) Indian, this is a phenominal man-hunt story. (I have read this book three times)
The Walking Drum---set in the 14th century, a young lad sees his family slaughtered while he survives. The story is an epic that finds the young man searching for his captive father...
I found myself awaiting sequels to both these L'amour stories, but sadly he died before writing them..I can only hope his daughter will do them someday as she has finished several of his incompleted works.
Oh, and lest I forget the Ramses series by Christian Jacq about the early and later years of young Moses and Ramses...fictional but good reads as well.
Sorry so long, but I find it easier to try new books if I know a bit about them first. I love several of the ones already mentioned here as well.
PS..and wouldn't I be the fool if I didn't mention my own novel, Invasion America! Check it out in other author posts or at BarnesandNobles.com.
