Any readers out there? Looking for some recommendations. I recently read The Martian by Andy Weir and thought it was excellent. TIA.

Anything by Lee Child. The Jack Reacher series. The books are 10x's better than the way that vag Tom Cruise portrays them.

Killing Floor wasn't that good. Too predictable IMO.

Never Let Me Go by Kazou Ishiguro

Best novel I've read in awhile. Haunting and thought-provoking.

I just read "The Road", not bad. I haven't seen the movie, is it any good.

My favorite genre is military history.

I just read Stardust and loved it. Fun and funny fairy tale for adults (there is sex and some bawdy humor).

Also just finished The Great and Terrible King, a biography of Edward I. Simply fascinating.

The Books of Blood by Clive Barker are brilliant (short horror stories).

The Zombie Fallout books are very fun dumb fun books. You really care about the characters.

That's what I've read in the last 2-3 months.

I'm about to read american gods again before the show comes out. I saw do someone recommend stardust. All of gaiman's books are great.

Thought about picking up hitchiker's guide again.

Currently reading a silly horse book that I will not trouble anybody with. Usually I read 3-4 books at a time.
