I'm currently reading "Devil in the White City". I like the history based stuff. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is still one of my recent favorites as well as "Marks of Cain", "The Genesis Secret" and "The Lost Symbol".

Just read these on my Kindle:

Wool (Books 1-5) by Hugh Howey - great story about a future in a poisoned world. People are surviving in underground silos. This could be a good movie.

The Old Man and The Wasteland by Nick Cole - another post-apocalyptic story, in the vein of The Old Man and The Sea. Terrorists nuked cities in the US. Story takes place 40 years later in the desert southwest.

:cool:

:D

Hey, deja vu... I've read that ^ somewhere else... :D

Not reading any great books at the moment, need to get back into it, but there's too much on TV I want to watch now and with the DVR I'm watching my shows in the evenings right now...

If any of you like to read on the PC, there are some really good online stories...

I'm sure some of you have heard of Al Steiner...

http://storiesonline.net/library/universe.php?id=214

You might have to sign up for an account to access that, but it's free...

Pretty much any of his stories are excellent... some adult content/sex in some, but I'm sure you pervs won't mind that.

As far as actual books to get... we've talked about this a lot in the Sci-Fi thread, but the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons is THE best set of books I've ever read.

Thanks kurbie :)

I just finished

http://www.amazon.com/Final-Salute-Story-Unfinished-Lives/dp/159420165X

Very good. Very difficult to get thru. Not light or happy reading but worth it.

Working on

http://www.amazon.com/Eight-Lives-Down-Worlds-Dangerous/dp/B005Q8F6EQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331137094&sr=1-1

Also good, written by a British EOD officer in Iraq.

Only 1/2 way thru this one....in one night.

I enjoy a lot of books to varying degree, but few keep me up at night to the point where I look at the clock and get pissed after I realize I am awake at 2:00 and the alarm is going off in 3 hours.

Last night was like that with this book...

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
