Currently reading the Gender Game Series Post apocalyptic world that has two cities, one is controlled by men where women are kept almost like pets and have no rights, the other is ruled by women where men have minimal rights but the more domineering boys are sent away "to the mines" so that all males left are subservient to the women. The cities coexist with minimal ties and some trading but are divided by a toxic river with the other surrounding area's basically uninhabitable.

Only into book 3 but it is very interesting so far. About 30 bucks for all 7 ebooks so worth checking out.

I am not sure what you like to read but I have just read a book from a guy I was stationed with at NKP Thailand-a former POW. He and I used to spend time in the chow hall talking about various things before he was captured. We both flew on the HH43-B Helicopter and he and the entire crew was shot down and captured and he spent 7 years as a POW in Hanoi. The name of the book is: The Longest Rescue by Glen Robins it is an easy and interesting read of William A. Robinson, he sometime speaks at veterans activities at Branson MO.

For really crazy serial killer kind of stuff, try any of the “Prey” series by John Sandford. And there is a bunch of them. Or anything he’s written with a cop named Lucas Davenport or Virgil Flowers. Virgil is quite the cop...he sometimes forgets his gun though.

I learned to read on Robert B. Parker (RIP) but he wrote detective fiction and you didn't name it as one of your favorite genres.

Try Life Expectantcy by Dean Koontz. It is a very eerie and strange and wonderful masterpiece. Definitely one of my "go to" novels when I can't decide what to read.

You guys read some weird ****. I'm working on "Medical Terminology Made Incredibly Easy", Clinical Editor -- David Woodruff and when I just can't stand anymore of that then I take a break and go back to "The Wisdom of Psychopaths -- What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success" by Kevin Dutton.

I rarely read non-fiction. I'm what happens when your reading material growing up was the most current AVMA Journal. My dad thought Dick and Jane, and their shenanigans, was not challenging enough for his first graders. Lol

LOL, well I tend to read a lot of other stuff but a lot of it is written by regular people and posted to an application or website. Lots of scifi and lotr type stuff but still different. I was reading the "Earths Children" series by Jean Auel when I was in 6th and 7th grade or basically adult and college level stuff. Needless to say I was ranked in almost everything at a college to graduate level by 8th grade. I could honestly say school was boring and prove it. My senior year consisted of college classes and a shop class before I blew off lunch and phys ed to go home.
