I second Stephen Hunter. I've read Point of Impact, Black Light, Time to Hunt, The 47th Samurai, Night of Thunder, Hot Springs, Pale Horse Coming, Havana, and Dirty White Boys. I thought they were all excellent. I plan on reading I, Sniper next.

Tom Clancy books are pretty good too. I've read Endwar and Ghost Recon.

I just finished reading The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks and right now I'm reading World War Z.

A friend of mine, who calls himself a "Clancy-phile", read EndWar and told me it was one of the worst-written books he's ever read.

The Iliad and The Odyssey is the greatest narrative created by humans ever.

This man speaks the unquestionable, etched-in-stone truth.

The Lost Fleet is pretty awesome. I got the whole series for 6 dollars.

I'm reading The Gun Seller. It's a book by Hugh Laurie and it's actually pretty funny and well written for a comedian/actor. I have a good pirated version if anyone wants.

Too bad they are mind numbingly boring. As for my favorite book, I really don't have one because I read about 5 books a month. Monster Hunter International is pretty good though
