Anything by Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein and David Drake (just to toss in one relatively recent author.) Those are mostly science fiction though Drake did an excellent fantasy series as well. To re-iterate some that have been mentioned already: Stephen King, John Sandford, Lee Child (the Jack Reacher books.) Currently re-reading a Carl Hiassen- fun reads. Jimmy Buffet has written a few books that were silly but pretty good. Also various motorcycle and car manuals, at times. ;) |

Funny timing to revive this thread. I had just finished reading Ready Player One when I posted this 3 years ago and today I’m halfway through Ready Player Two. x2 on Max-D’s suggestion of the subtle art of not giving a f*ck. That’s a good read. Also recently picked up a book on Python programming. |

| Re: Book Recomendations I know this thread is a few years old, but this book helped me many years ago when I was trying to figure out this life thing. While it may not be for everybody, I'm sure there's one more person out here that would benefit from this book. It's not a blame chaser, it's just a really informative read. |

In retrospect, all the clues were there. But I didn`t get it either. A friend told me to read a book a second time after finishing it, cause you will get more details. Silkworm is more twisted, and characters envolve. I have read all 4 books of this series and loved them. Happy reading! | |

I gotta throw out Michael Connelly, of course (anyone seen his Amazon series "Bosch"? Incredible adaption from his books) ...and Andrew Mayne (especially his latest "Underwater Investigation Unit" series of books) Oh - can't remember if I mentioned him before, but absolutely ANYTHING by Joseph Wambaugh - he's been writing police procedural fiction (as well as the occasional true crime book) for decades - he was involved in creating and developing the '70s TV series "Police Story", and his books pull NO punches, telling both sides of the story - corruption, depression among officers, observations of various elements of (mostly Californian) society and feature a LOT of dark humor. He was the son of a policeman, a Marine, and served 14 years on the LAPD himself. Many movies have been made of his books. Pretty sure I've read every single one of his books multiple times, and am about to order a few used paperbacks that I haven't read in ages. | |

This is more of a "What am I reading" than a recommended books post - but it's EXTREMELY interesting, and FREE! (because it's posted over at Jalopnik) Title: A Brief History Of Gasoline: A Century And A Half Of Lies Part 1: https://jalopnik.com/a-brief-history...gas-1846790331 Part 2: https://jalopnik.com/a-brief-history...ves-1846958607 The series will end up containing 10 parts, and the author (Jamie Kitman) is a VERY knowledgable and multi-talented individual. About the author: (taken from "Nation") Jamie Lincoln Kitman, New York bureau chief for Automobile Magazine, won an investigative reporting award from Investigative Reporters and Editors for his Nation article on leaded gasoline. A member of the Society of Automotive Historians, Jamie Lincoln Kitman drives a 1966 Lancia Fulvia and a 1969 Ford Lotus-Cortina, both of which run fine on unleaded. He's also studied law and has managed a slew of rock bands, among them The Ordinaires, They Might Be Giants, The La's, The Beautiful South, Meat Puppets, Yo La Tengo, Band of Weeds, Pere Ubu, Violent Femmes, Chainsaw Kittens, etc. |
