The Disc World series that I'm reading right now is 41 books on its own. Good luck my friend, good luck.

I almost bought in to the whole flat earth society thing until I heard the founder boast about having members all around the globe. That kinda ended it for me.

A couple other series I enjoyed were the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell and I personally liked the Michael Bennett books by James Patterson more than the Alex Cross series.

Starting "for whom the Bell tolls". The Hemingway series on PBS is kind of boring.
Recently finished "starship troopers", so much better than the movie. Other good reads are Captain blood, obviously. Gorky Park is an outstanding book, if you like mysteries And political drama. Huckleberry Finn is also always an amazing read. |

Also, my wife just introduced me to a "virtual library." I had no idea this existed. She picked up a library card a little while back for our local branch. Now I feel like an old man talking about this confounded technology, but we can check out books for free from the library and just read them on the iPad with our library card. Whoa!

"Sometimes a Great Notion" Ken Kesey
I read this way back in HS. I want to re-visit this summer. "“But if the strength ain't real, I recall thinking the very last thing that day, before I finally passed out, then the weakness sure enough is. Weakness is true and real. I used to accuse the kid of faking his weakness. But faking proves the weakness is real. Or you wouldn't be so weak as to fake it. No, you can't ever fake being weak. You can only fake being strong. . .” Wiki: "Sometimes a Great Notion is the second novel by American author Ken Kesey, published in 1964. While One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) is more famous, many critics consider Sometimes a Great Notion Kesey's magnum opus.[1] The story involves an Oregon family of gyppo loggers who cut and procure trees for a local mill in opposition to unionized workers who are on strike." |

So....any good fiction suggestions? I'm bummed. I pre-ordered Nelson DeMille's new John Cory book back in January. It was supposed to be released early June. I was hoping I would get it in time for my annual beach week. It's been delayed until late this year.
I need some new material. I read two books at the beach last week and both were disappointing. One was the latest Grisham "A Time for Mercy" and the other was a Baldacci "Daylight". Whatcha got?
