    By book seven, one of the adults said, "Bitch!" Totally a book for adults.

    Okay, it was no Game of Thrones, but I still contend that Harry Potter was for adults.

    Thanks guys. Some good suggestions. The book I'm reading now, The Twelve, is a follow up to the Passage by Justin Cronin. The first was exellent and this one seems to be as equally well written. I definitely like the history types, Empire of the Summer Moon etc. Thanks for the sticky mods.

    Anything by Vince Flynn is usually pretty good

    The Original Argument by Glenn Beck. A "translated" version of the Federalist Papers. Very interesting.

    I concur! I read the first one of his, it was great. I also recommend any of the Tom Clancy Ryanverse books (make sure to read "Without Remorse"- best one he's written yet IMO!).
    Also Brad Thor writes some really great books, I just finished "Lions of Lucerne" a few months ago and am getting ready to read the 2nd in the series.
    Oh and Marcus Luttrell "Lone Survivor" is excellent!

    I'm reading 1984. A book about Stalin Communist Hell written by a true believer of communism. A classic.
    Atlas Shrugged. Or watch the movies but it leaves a lot out.
    I read the Bourne Identity books and not only is it nothing like the movies its very hard to read.
    Who are you to want to escape a thugs bullet? That is only a personal prejudice, ( Atlas Shrugged)

    Sort of... Lions was a great book about an Ex-SEAL who works for the USSS and the president is kidnapped and he must race to find out who did it and rescue the president. Brad was in the news a few years ago for his book "The Last Patriot" and some controversy about the plot (Mohammad's assassination by his followers- discovered by Jefferson and the main character uncovers Jefferson's discovery).
    From Wikipedia:
    Because of the content of Thor's thriller The Last Patriot, Glenn Beck predicted he might be assassinated by Muslim extremists. Thor has been referred to by WorldNetDaily as "the new Salman Rushdie."
    The novel is said to have been banned in Saudi Arabia.
    I really want to read the rest of his books!

    Also, W.E.B. Griffin is awesome! I read some of his presidential agent books and they're really good.
