I don't read books, I read Authors. Pat Conroy, John Irving, Larry Mc Murtry. Beach Music by Conroy, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, and Dairy Queen by Larry McMurtry. Dairy Queen is about McMurty becoming a writer, and his growing up in Texas. Its a short read by he can hold your attention and you will learn much about how to spot a good writer, because he goes thru a host of them.

I'm trying to get a pill so I can concentrate on books again. Next week is my med Dr's appt. I'm rereading (slowly), "Why There Is No God."

'LIFE' by Keith Richards

Although I read it a long time ago, I like The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe. It's really three novellas, and each has its own style, but they're all related and weave an intricate story.

I don't know why I think of this one a lot lately, but I really enjoyed The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov. For whatever reason, that one left a mark on me.

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, By Dr.Michael Savage

Jurassic Park and Harry Potter are always the best books I've read lately ?

The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov
Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane

Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate.

Fiction: The Martian (book, NOT movie) - there is so much science and math in the book, information which has been reviewed by astrophysicsts (& acknowledged by the author), and it was a good/fun read.

For fiction--I am now a big fan of crime writer Michael Connelly. After getting hooked on the TV version of "Bosch" on Amazon Prime, I have started going back through over 20 years of the Harry Bosch LAPD detective series books---slowly making my way through the entire series. All are great. James Lee Burke has a new Dave Robbicheaux book out and it is in the cue to read. Right now though, with the way that things are in the world of politics--I am reading the books that are coming out on what I consider to be a disaster in the making--the Trump presidency---I have been reading books coming out dealing with that like done by NBC/MSNBC reporter Katie Tur book about her time covering Trump on the campaign trail, that salacious but still noteworthy book "Fire and Fury" and I am going to get the new book "Russian Roulette" by investigative reporters Michael Issikof and David Corn about Trump's long standing ties to the Russians.

Mine!!! LOL!!! I am currently working on my first full lentgh novel called, "Let No Man put Asunder". It's a post apocalyptic survival story. I'm only on chapter 7 but I hope to finish it by the end of the year.

"A Billion Wicked Thoughts"... I'm 3/4 through it and loving it! A scientific take on sex... what's not to like?!

I am currently reading "The Master and Marguerita" It is a marvellous book, I recommenend it to all who enjoy literary masterpieces. "The Book Thief" is a favourite of mine.

Seveneves by Neal Stephenson is pretty good.

The Blade itself- Joe Abercrombie. Free the Darkness- Kel Kade. The Name of the Wind- Patrick Rothfuss. Elantris- Brandon Sanderson. The Magic of Recluse- L.E. Modesitt Jr.

Anything by Anne Rice

I like Terry Goodkind and Terry Brooks for fantasy

Open A by Kimberly Richardson. If you like gothic, with suspense, you will love her work. **

Rereading Vernor Vinge at the moment.

Colin Wilson
The Outsider
Religion and the Rebel

My own, Saving Gaia, about what needs to be done to save the planet. It doesn't look good. Humans have to make drastic changes in worldview, including religion.

I have read this book a few times and each time it moves me. Little known, under rated, a little dated and very French. The symbol is known as 'Zoran's Equation'. Read the book and find out what it means. You can find copies online.

Favorite? Not sure. Most life changing? "The Grapes Of Wrath."

I like crime novels P.D James etc but at a pinch anything would do as I can't get to sleep without reading.
