If you dont mind some non-fiction military stuff, I recommend BAT-21, the real story, not the movie version. Also "MIG Pilot", the story of the man who defected in a MIG-25, and lastly "Blind Man's Bluff", the story of submarine espionage in the Cold War, including tapping a soviet undersea comm cable.

What did you think of the 90 minutes in heaven??? I am kinda on the fence- because he talked about the Ilizarov frame that it was like he was selling the fact that life can move on with it- more so than the actual 90 minutes in heaven. *shrug*

Here are a few gifted, popular Crime/Detective/Murder Mystery/Cop Action writers that I strongly recommend.

I'm talking serious crime writing talent that will make you want to hit the sack early to get a few extra pages in...addictive.
Please check them out. You won't be disappointed and will probably be happily hooked on this literary genre for life...

Michael Connelly,
Lee Child,
T. Jefferson Parker,
Elmore Leonard,

I've been into hisorical romance lately, but seem to have read everything out there, I sure wish there was a book store in Calvert. The used book store doesn't have much to offer in historical romance and Bay Books doesn't have much at all either and I really hate to go all the way to Waldorf to Borders. I love to read so if there are any suggestions on something good, please help me out. PS, I read the first of the Twilight series and it's just not for me.

I usually read Patricia Cornwell or Mary Higgins Clark. Right now though I'm reading "Things I want my daughters to know" by Elizabeth Noble. Pretty good so far. No crying from me yet. I also have "Where Are You Now" by M. H. Clarke to read next.

Not sure if Calverts librarys do this, but St Marys has used books for sale in the corner of every county library. Mags are ten cents, paperbacks a quarter, hardcovers are a buck.

This is true. The 90 minutes are amazing though.

I'm about a quarter of the way through a really good book that chronicles alot of the start of our revolutionary war. It is called 'The Founders' Second Amendment. Origins of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms' Amazon.com: The Founders' Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms: Stephen P. Halbrook: Books

A very well researched and written and historically acurate book, well worth adding to any library.

Those would all be my top choices. Robert Crais is right up there with them as well. Lawerence Block is really great, as well as J.A. Jance.

Right now I am reading Forever Odd, the second in the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.
