Just finishing the 3rd book in the trilogy http://www.amazon.com/The-Second-Shi.../dp/1612184936 Not usually a sci-fi reader but I thought this was a pretty good series.

I read the whole series and liked it a lot.

I'm about halfway through Unbroken. I had stayed away from it because I saw a lot of chicks were reading it ... bad decision. It's an excellent book, good WWII history.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Zamperini is truly bad ass and still alive. Amazing!

My current read is The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. About 50% into it and its keeping me entertained. Its about an outdoorsman\pilot and a survivalist pretty much forced to team up after surviving a virus outbreak using the Jefferson\Boulder County front range area as a setting.

Most of the story is centered on the Erie Airport, so anyone in the north metro would find some familiar landmarks. The whole book takes place in a dystopian Colorado, so just about everyone will be able to identify something from this book. If you enjoy hunting, fishing, shooting, and/or flying small airplanes, you will have no problem getting through this book. IMO Heller is much easier to read than Cormac McCarthy and comparatively, this book is downright upbeat and peppy compared to The Road.

Ive read a lot of the Jack Reacher books. Awesome books, IMO. I watched the movie the other day and I thought they did a good job with the movie.

+1 on the Jack Reacher series. Also, anything by Vince Flynn (sorry to hear of his recent passing), James Patterson.
