Just finished Devil in the White City. Fascinating read about the Chicago World Fair. Highly recommended.
OP, I recommend the Revenant. It will be a new movie, but the book was really good.

I've read all of them.
I'd recommend reading at least the first 5 in order.They're the best. After that the order doesn't matter and they're great books.

If you want a book that will truly change your life I recommend Eckart Tolle's A New Heaven and A New Earth. Most people aren't ready for it though.

Read Tom Robbins' Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates. Then follow it up with Jitterbug Perfume from the same author.
You're welcome.

I needed a change of pace so I started reading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin. It's set 100 years before the Game of Thrones books. It's awesome, I forgot how much I liked those books. It's been a nice departure from the histories and biographies I usually read.

just read the first 2 books of Greg Iles Natchez Burning series
The Quiet Game
Turning Angel
really enjoyed them both, waiting on the 3rd book to come in from library before reading Natchez Burning
Thought Quiet Game was a little better, couldnt put it down

laangler, Try the Nelson Demille, John Corey Series!! Really good
Posted on 10/27/15 at 9:55 am to laangler21
I've read all of Flynn's Mitch Rapp series (except the once released this month) and Thor's Scot Harvath series. Both are excellent.
If your looking for similar series, I would try [ Brad Taylor's series. He's a retired Army Lt. Col. and spent time in Special Forces. I've really enjoyed his books.
I would also recommend Dalton Fury's (yes, its a psuedonym) books.

The Sisters Brothers is one that's on my list. Can you say a little abt it? Is it good like, say, Blood Meridian, or good like Louis L'Amour? To me there is a difference, and I want Blood Meridian good.

1.shadow man
2.the face of death

Just finished All of Erik Larson's books, finished up with the big short. I need more books to help keep me occupied, any suggestions?
Have you read Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris? It's historical fiction about the Alfred Dreyfus affair. Just finished it yesterday, knew nothing of it beforehand.
