Just started a new one by Brad Thor called Code of conduct. About 100 pages in and it's good so far.

"One Second After" is very good. Forstchen is a good writer. I read it 3-4 yrs ago and have reread it twice since. While it is not my favorite (mostly because I like long multi book stories) post apocalypse story it is usually the one I loan out when introducing noobs to reasons for prepping/preparedness.

I second that. One of the best SHTF books out there.

Another one from Forstchen that I loved was "Day of Wrath". Scary story, but I think it's close to what will happen in the US one of these days.

Truman didn't know about the Manhattan project until after FDR died.

Scary. I hope this never happens but I'm afraid that it will.

Last week I read "H is for Hawk", a beautifully written story by a woman who grew up as falconer and her experiences training a Goshawk. A fascinating look at falconry in Great Britain.

Also this week, I finished "reading" the audio CD version of Only Time Will Tell (a Clifton Chronicles book 1 of 5) by Jeffrey Archer. An excellent story, well read. I will get the next audio book in the series. See: http://www.jeffreyarcherbooks.com/

Now, I'm half way through "Fastest Things on Wings: Rescuing Hummingbirds in Hollywood", by Terry Masear. Fascinating story and excellent writing by a hummingbird rehabber with a black belt who quotes Lao Tzu, and who honestly knows her stuff about these fastest birds on wings.

Has anyone read the The Martian yet? I've been eyeing it for a bit and wonder what people think

I thought the Martian was great, and have even re-read it twice since first reading it. Looking forward to the movie.

I recommend it, and you can find it for free to read online if you look (it was originally released for free on the author's website), though buying it will help to support the author, and I think it's worth the price for a good read.

If you don't like science and a weird sense of humor, pass it by, though - it'll just read like a MacGyver script unless you're hip to its vibe.

I read The Martian a while ago and really liked it. He definitely has a weird sense of humor.
