PaparockArk Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 I'm a voracious reader of non-fiction and I usually read several books a month year round. My last reads were Exodus Cry by Jim W Goll, and Why I left Jihad by Walid Shoebat. My subjects I center mostly on are Terrorism, the Middle East, religion ( Christianity and Islam),fishing and fishing techniques, weapons and their use, but not necessarily in that order. I also read many articles published on the internet by authors on the subject of terrorism as I filter them and re-post them on the forum where I am a forum moderator and the subject is a prime subject of discussion.

Super User skunked_again Posted December 17, 2007 Super User Posted December 17, 2007 anyone that likes fantasy should be reading terry brooks. i also suggest dean koontz, his work is very good. if you have an open mind you should pick up the book kite runner by khaled hosseini. even though this is a story base in Afghanistan the story related well.

Olebiker Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 anyone that likes fantasy should be reading terry brooks. I read "The Sword of Shanarra" years ago. It was a good read, but seemed to me a complete ripoff of Tolkien. You can download books on tape from our local library. I am currently listening to David McCullaugh read his "1776." Michener's "The Source" is one that everyone should read. Quote
Bean Counter Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Anything by Wilbur Smith! Most of his books are set in Africa and are very good. I especially like Hungry as the Sea and Eye of the Tiger. Quote
Gidget Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I recently read " for one more day" by Mitch Albom it was a very good book. Quote

Super User Long Mike Posted December 18, 2007 Super User Posted December 18, 2007 I can't believe no one has mentioned Tolkein's "Lord of the Rings." I read the trilogy three times, at least ten years before it ever appeared on screen. Quote
