Need help looking for....

[COMMENT DELETED]

Would you like some more recent non-fiction books? I don't really know the mystery/horror genre.

You bet...give me some titles and I'll check them out.

I love reading and always have a few books going.  Typically a variety of styles and types.  Here is some I like and would recommend:

• If you haven't read J.R.R. Tolkein I'd highly recommend it.  Best (my opinion) is the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Much better than the movies.  He spins a tale of an amazingly intricate society and a great story.  Well written.  Most enjoyable.
• What about John Grisham's legal thrillers (such as The Firm, The Client, Pelican Brief).  I've probably read all of his.  Decently written, mostly free from objectionable violence and sex, quite engaging.  Good diversion.  Understandbly very popular.
• Or a somewhat similar author: David Baldacci.  The Simple Truth, Absolute Power, Total Control.  Popular thrillers, but not junk.
• Or Robin Cook's medical thrillers: Seizure, Comma, Outbreak, etc.  Again, not pulitzer prize winning literature but not trash and a good diversion.
• I have read and thoroughly enjoyed everything written by James Michener.  Some people find him too verbose and tedious - I get caught up in his writings.  Everything from Space (history of it's exploration) to Centennial (Colorado over the centuries), from Texas to Chesapeake to Poland.  I've enjoyed them all.
• For something totally different try any of Chaim Potok's writings: The Promise, The Chosen, My Name is Ashur Lev.  Very well written novels that take you into the fascinating world of the Orthodox Jewish community in NY...  Very good reads.  Warmly recommended.
• If you like history or historical novels you might want to consider the following.  Try Stephen Ambrose: Undaunted Courage (Lewis and Clark expedition), Band of Brothers (101st Airborne, WWII).  Or Jeff Sharra's Civil War series (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, the Last Full Measure) or a more recent series on WWII.  Very good.  I also like everything I've read from Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough (John Adams, Truman, etc.)

Anyway, there's lots and lots of good stuff out there.  If you try any of these and enjoy them, let me know.  I'll also be interested in what others might suggest.

Graybeard

so here are some books I would recommend:

The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell

A Whole New Mind - Daniel Pink

Tuesdays With Morrie - Inti Ramos

Blue Like Jazz - Donald Miller

The Irresistible Revolution - Shane Claiborne

Those are just some I have read recently. The last two are thoughts on Christianity, and they have some cool insights whether or not you are Christian. Plus they are just fun reads. All the books are non-fiction. I'll post some more books later.
