I have read most of the recommended Authors so far All good stuff so far. I have read almost all of Clive Cussler's books and series and they are a blast. Jack Dubrul who helps Cussler with the Oregon Files is not to shabby either. Anything from Dean R Koontz is a fun read. His Odd Thomas and Frankenstein are fantastic. Stephen King is always good for a surprise. The Gunslinger is an epic series. John J Nance is good especially if you like airplanes. Jonathan Kellerman is great his wife Faye and Son Jesse are all great writers. His Alex Delaware novels are a great read. James Patterson's Novels are wonderful Alex Cross enough said. Kathy Reichs is really good to her books are the Bones T.V series .Dan Brown weaves a great yarn his attention to detail is stunning. First Man was a great biography of Niel Armstrong. Keith Richards Bio was a great read and I'm not a big stones fan I am now after the book. Other good reads Flags Of Our Fathers,The World Is Flat,Planet Google,The Walmart Effect all very good. Dan Simmons Hyperion novels are well.... wow you would have to read one to explain. Anne McCaffery's Pern novels are a great read. If you want a change of pace The Walking Dead Graphic novels by Robert Kirkman are some of the best writing I've read in a long time. Margret Weiss and Tracy Hickman write some great novels Death Gate Cycle and Dragonlance to name a few. I'm sure there are some more I will have to go through my library
