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

I thought it was pretty decent. It wasn't Stephen Hunter quality but I read it at night while on a musky fishing trip and it was worth my time.

It was a short book and a good fun read, but didnt register on the "favorites" scale.

The answer is always Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I like reading short horror stories or novellas. I also really like true crime books, especially Philip Carlo. I just bought Murder Machine and I am absolutely dying to read it. I just need to finish House to House by David Bellavia first. I actually have a large to do list for books lol. I just keep buying them and they pile up. Here is a short list of some books I’ve read and are about to read.
I finished reading and liked: The Iceman: Confessions of a Contract Killer, Black Mass, Moon on the Water, Nations of the Living Nations of the Dead, Shooter: The true story of the top ranked marine sniper, The Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men.

I have yet to read: The BrotherHoods, Murder Machine, Gasipe, 13 cent killers, Voices of Courage, a few Richard Laymond novels, Coroners Journal, Grey’s Anatomy, and some Rouge Warrior books my brother let me borrow.

What sucks is I’m a slow reader. I curse my mother everyday for not getting me hooked on phonics.

I seriously can't remember the last time I ever read a novel. Literally. I used to read Tom Clancy and Mark Bowden when I was younger, but that was a while ago now.

Actually, it's becoming pretty rare that I read printed word at all. Everything I read is online, including all of my research. My printer, too, is already collecting dust.

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

All Tom Clancy's fiction with Jack Ryan. Some Alister Mclean and Jack Higgens books. Auther Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series. Monster Hunter International, by Larry Corelia. Lots of WW2/ Vietnam books.
