Hagar Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 As I stated on the "channel surfing stop for movie", I like Cormac McCarthy and specifically, No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridan. One other is W.E.B. Griffin who has several series, including one called The Corp, consisting of 10 books that are historically accurate, but the characters are fictional. Quote
bullets13 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 Cormac McCarthey is one of my favorites. Stephen King as well. I also enjoy Michael Connely and John Sandford, who both write murder mystery type stories. Quote

Thanks for the tip. Quote

jv_coach Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 I read this book about a month ago and it was a very good read. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Six Months in 1945From World War to Cold War Quote
baddog Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 I'm not what you would call well read, but I do like me some Stephen King. Sometimes I can read a page then wonder what I just read. Very frustrating. Have read quite a few of his books though. Quote
NDNation Posted May 23, 2016 Report Posted May 23, 2016 I've been reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, which is also a tv series. I also like James Patterson and Stephen King. Quote
Hagar Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Posted May 23, 2016 I use to read King. Not my genre for reading, but the guy is a fantastic writer. My favorite was Pet Sematary, but the movie absolutely butchered the book. Do like most of the movies though. UTfanatic 1 Quote

Hagar Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Posted May 23, 2016 Pooter, I forgot the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. A must read if you like a guy that likes to beat/kill bad guys! Quote
Hagar Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Posted May 27, 2016 The greatest Anti-Hero of all time, Flashman (series) by George MacDonald Fraser. Set in the days when the British Empire ruled the world. Eventually achieves the rank of general, and described as a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel, a coward, and a toady. Hilarious fiction, but historically accurate. First book published in 1969 so they're almost as old as me. Quote
