[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3344012, member: 26737"] I'd start with [I]The Martian[/I] by Andy Weir. The Longmire novels by Craig Johnson are really good. I'm partial to [I]The Cold Dish[/I], the first in the series, but I read 'em all as they come out. If you like audiobooks, or just want to try them, these are all read by George Guidall, who is an outstanding reader. The [I]Expanse[/I] series by James SA Corey is outstanding, but it'll take a lot longer than two weeks to get through the books that have been published to date. IIRC, they're on book 9 of a 13 book series. [I]Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors[/I] by James D. Hornfischer should be required reading in our schools, and his books [I]Neptune's Inferno[/I] and [I]The Fleet at Flood Tide[/I] are exceptionally well-told histories of the Navy in the Pacific Theater of WWII. I think so highly of this book that I've actually bought [I]Last Stand[/I] three times--as an Audible book, on Kindle, and in hardback. [I]The Heart Of Everything That Is[/I] by Bob Drury and Tom Clavin is the story of Red Cloud, the Sioux leader who defeated the US in a war (known at the time as Red Cloud's War). [I]Go Like Hell![/I] by AJ Baime. If you watched [I]Ford vs. Ferrari[/I], now you can read about what really happened, without all the Hollyweird horsesh*t. This is another one where I went and bought the hardback after reading it in another format. Pretty much anything by Oklahoma native (and OU alumnus) Tony Hillerman. I'm partial to his Leaphorn and Chee novels. [I]Altered Carbon[/I] by Richard K. Morgan. This is some hard sci-fi, wherein people's "self" is stored in a "stack" that can be downloaded into a body (called a "sleeve"). This one is definitely not for the kiddies, as it has one scene that can only be described as pornographic, another that involves torture (with the male protagonist being resleeved into a female body that is then subjected to torture), and one that peripherally involves some seriously deviant behavior. I'm about 2/3rds through [I]Rebel Yell[/I], SC Gwynne's biography of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. [/QUOTE]
