TimTheAzn Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 American Sniper Unbroken (movie I heard was shit) No Easy Day I have very narrow reading preferences. If its not military history or some sort of military biography, I probably wont read it. I'll probably shoot for vassili zaitsev's book next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I really only ever read books on trips and vacations so I don't have many in my list. I would certainly suggest these light, fun enjoyable reads: Paddle Your Own Canoe - Nick Offerman Gumption - Nick Offerman and a really old one but forever held close to my heart: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAC Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) "Metzger's Dog" by Thomas Perry. Set in the '80s, funny as hell, ironic and fast paced. A book I revisit every couple years. May be a little hard to find, though. Edited January 18, 2017 by DAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonian Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm a HUGE Baldacci fan. He writes suspense/thrillers where the characters are either Secret Service/LEO/Special Forces types. You can't go wrong with any of them and they usually have a series that follows a character. The Camel Club series is a good place to start. Also like Memory Man about a LEO who has an eidictic (sp) memory due to a head injury. That's a really good one as well. One of my all time favorite books is The Bad Place by Dean Koontz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 The last book I read was Green Eggs and Ham. The twist is that he likes them after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I buy copies of Fahrenheit 451 and animal farm even though I already own several... more recently, I enjoyed the Davinci Code and several of the other Robert Langdon stories. Trying to remember what I read on vacation... I started world war Z, but have let that get away from me. Better book than a movie. the game of thrones series is on my shelf to read at some point.
