Malcolm Gladwell.
I recommend Outliers, Blink, or Tipping Point.
Guy has compiled tons of fascinating research. Talked about a study in one of his books (think it was Blink) about quick judgments and how sometimes they can be right. Apparently there's psychologists that can meet a couple and tell within 15 minutes if the couple will be married in 15 years..with over 90% accuracy. Has tons of other anecdotes and backstories to people that you would probably never know otherwise.
Stuff like that is really interesting to me. But then again, I'm kind of a nerd.

Second book of the First Law trilogy. Might even be better than Game of Thrones...
The Bloody Nine is one of my favorite characters. Abercrombie is a genius.

The Stand by Stephen King. Never read it, but everyone told me I should. I'm trying to work my way through this book, but I'm starting to lose interest.

Ran out of Clancy books so I started back on Grisham.
Just picked up THE BROKER
Apparently I stopped reading his books about 2005 so I need to catch up on the newer ones.

Just finished Threat Vector. I've read every Jack Ryan book up to that point. Looking forward to getting the next one in the series.

Currently reading One of Us: The Story of a Massacre in Norway and Its Aftermath by Asne Seierstad.
But I can't wait for "Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch to come out. Here is a preview:
But I can't wait for "Dark Matter" by Blake Crouch to come out. Here is a preview:
quote:
“Are you happy with your life?”
Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.
Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.
Before a man Jason’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.”
In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.
Is it this world or the other that’s the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could’ve imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.
From the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human—a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we’ll go to claim the lives we dream of.
