Janet Evanovich - 'Wicked Appetite'. Really I am...and I just started in to the Stephanie Plum books. Oh, and studying two Hawaii guidebooks:mrgreen:
Some books that I like that are similiar to that are, One Mans Wilderness, Last Breath, Yukon Alone, and measure of a mountain. All of those are great books.Quote:

Did you start with One for the Money? Reading the books in order is fun. The books are fluff, but fun reading.Quote:

"Blood: An Epic History of Medicine and Commerce" by Douglas Starr ~ Seriously and EPIC history of blood. Great read! From being feared to being worshiped to a international commodity. Covers some shocking moments in history of greedy people exploiting fellow humans to the aids crisis. Really has shown the change and growth in the Blood Bank industry.
"A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard~ surprisingly good read thanks for the recommend Felicia
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen~great book loved how she jumped back and forth between the old guys memory and him as a young man
The kids have me hooked on Rick Riordan and the entire series of "The Lighting Thief" we finished those last year and now we have started the "The Hero's of Olympus Series" while driving in the car long distance.
"The Demon Under the Microscope" by Thomas Hagar ~ about the first antibiotic. Again a great science read not as good or riveting as Blood.
Currently working on "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean~ This one is really fascinating it covers a little history on each element of the periodic table.
Just about ready for another book looking for some recommends. I loved Felicia's last one so I guess I will take a look at Janet Evanovich and pick a book.
Currently reading through: The E-myth Revisited. Pretty great entrepreneurial book. Can't put it down.
I was just referred a book called: Awaken the Giant Within. Has anybody read this one?
Life-Autobiography of Keith Richards
Just finished No Country For Old Men
Oh yeah. I've read em in order - except for the stand alone books with Diesel. They are fluff but just when I think I ought to read something else I turn the page and laugh my arse off.
My kids like the Rick Riordan stuff - perhaps that's worth a go. "Blood" sounds really good, too, Cher
White Canyon, remembering the little town at the bottom of Lake Powell, by Tom McCourt.
I just finished reading Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K Massie. Catherine was an extremely interesting Empress that left a lasting impression on Russian culture. She was headstrong, compassionate, and cared for her adopted country after leaving Germany at the age of fourteen. Her personal life was even more interesting - even torrid by today's standards. I highly recommend the book.
ESPN - Those guys have all the fun.
It's a good read if you are a sports fan.
"Unbroken"- the story of Olympic Runner and WWII hero, Louis Zamperini. Incredible what this guy had to go through after his B24 crashed over the Pacific. Can't put it down- a must, must, must read!
born to run, great book...lifes lessons learned, and my annual january read, desert solitare. Yes three, what can I say, the only way a guy with adhd can keep reading...
AWESOME, AWESOME BOOK!!!Quote:
