whats everyone reading for fun these days? Im reading A Distant Mirrior by Barbara Tucman and Black Night, White Snow by Harrison Salisbury.

"Rubican" cant remember who wrote it im not at home so I cant look.

So funny you mentioned it, I'm a general manager for Borders Books, and I just got back from a conference in San Diego. Part of the conference is an expo held by the publishing houses where we get tons of free books, and advanced copies of books. I had 12 full cases of free stuff sent to my store. I'm kinda a book nerd.

Black Ice, I'll have to check out Vince Flynn. Sounds interesting. I remeber I could not put down Rainbow Six. Awesome book. Is Term limits his only book so far? Or just first.

No he has 5 more books out. Term Limits introduces some characters that show up in his later books. His second one intoduces the main character that is in his subsquent books.

My favorite Clancy book would have to be Patriot Games with Cardinal Of the Kremlin close behind.

im just about finished with the Dune series..really good!!! but a bit long

"Notes from the Underground" was awesome.read any Chernychevsky? good stuff.

I've mainly read alot of Sci Fi and Mystery/Thrillers. I also read some military history. Last year I think the total books read came out to around 120. Guess that means I need a life....

normally i would go hahahahahha books because i dont read... bu the one thing i can read about is star wars so im reading ambushat corellia. so far so good

I've got "Without Remorse" and "Shadow Warriors" going, both by Clancy.

I just had a massive Forgotten Realms jones, so I read:

Re-reading Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost." Gonna read Rachel Ray's "30 Minute Meals" if I can get my hands on a copy.

Hustler: by Larry Flint.....good read.

I loved 'Youth In Revolt' by CD Payne.

hunting down sadam and XIN LOI VIET NAM. hunting down sadam is an awsome book, alot of details about what happend from teh begining of this war till up to whats going on now.

For fans of the movie Blackhawk Down, check out the book Blackhawk Down by Mark Bowden. The book is an actual re-telling of the events, and is what the movie is based on. Mark Bowden also writes Killing Pablo, which tells about the takedown of Pablo Escobar, again very good.

[quote="BlackIce"]By the way, anyone who has read Tom Clancy should read Vince Flynn. His first book is Term Limits. He is actually recommended by Clancy. His writing is a lot like Clancy, but faster paced and more action...[/quote]

I have been working on Green eggs and Ham. Its pretty good so far. Hope to have it done in the next couple weeks.

the book I got is The 120 days of sodom. I have to admit it is scary at times. I m about 100 pages in. Get tired of all the fake goodness in the world. Somtimes its fun to dabble with that which is purly evil and horrifiying. At least its not dressed up as somthing its not ya?.

yah im pretty astounded with the book. deff not for the HS reading list

So did you guys read the A. N. Roquelaire (Anne Rice's pen name?) Sleeping Beauty series? That seems like it might be right up your alley, although probably not quite as dark...
