Books - What Are You Reading / What Do You Recommend?

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 liked Without Remorse. Is Brad Thor a like Clancy?

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.

Agreed, the Brotherhood of War series was excellent, and entertaining to the max!

Would it be redundant to mention Band of Borthers? As is the case 99.999% of the time- even with how good the HBO production was- the book was 1000X better.

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.

Are you just looking for mil-related stuff or action-fiction? Someone mentioned history. I just rewatched the Band of Brothers and just started "Bastogne" by Guy Franz Arend. Interesting so far. If you just want a thought provoking book, read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. It changed the way I look at money.

Huge Military history fan. I get into periods. Pacific Theatre WWII, Civil War. Pretty much anything. I like Stephen Ambrose and Antony Beevor. That being said I feel like I'm running out of good stuff or at least solid reads that keep me interested. So if Its good. Lets here about it.

Started reading world war z, really like it. Don't even really have to be into zombies I don't think, was just amusing kinda seeing scenario's of how things play out and peoples reactions.

Looking to get ahold of One Second after, local bookstores didn't have it used, may just have to amazon it.
