[Casper]

I need some new reading material that isn't tech manuals. What's your favorite book? 

[magley64]

A short history of nearly everything by Bill Bryson.

[JustinNck1]

The man who would stop at nothing.

 

 

It's a good book about long distance rider John Ryan.

Those are the types of books I'm trying to get away from...

Waking up - Sam Harris

[TimTheAzn]

American Sniper
Unbroken (movie I heard was shit)
No Easy Day
 

I have very narrow reading preferences. If its not military history or some sort of military biography, I probably wont read it. I'll probably shoot for vassili zaitsev's book next.

I really only ever read books on trips and vacations so I don't have many in my list. I would certainly suggest these light, fun enjoyable reads:

Paddle Your Own Canoe - Nick Offerman

Gumption - Nick Offerman

and a really old one but forever held close to my heart: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max

[Bad324]

and this will be my read for my upcoming trip to NC in July:

 

 

[Wandering Soul]

If you've read it already I apologize.  "The Peter Principle".  It's not about peters and I'm not making a snide suggestion about anyone.

Double tap. 

Just bought it. I'll let you know.

[cuzenjeff]

The Frontiersman......Allan Eckert

Ghost Rider: Travels on The Healing Road......Neil Peart

[DAC]

"Metzger's Dog" by Thomas Perry.  Set in the '80s, funny as hell, ironic and fast paced.  A book I revisit every couple years.  May be a little hard to find, though.

Damn. I bet "Ghost Rider" is depressing as shit. 

Kinda, with what happened to his daughter and wife.......

I'm a HUGE Baldacci fan. He writes suspense/thrillers where the characters are either Secret Service/LEO/Special Forces types. You can't go wrong with any of them and they usually have a series that follows a character.

The Camel Club series is a good place to start. Also like Memory Man about a LEO who has an eidictic (sp) memory due to a head injury. That's a really good one as well. 

One of my all time favorite books is The Bad Place by Dean Koontz

 

[Tpoppa]

The last book I read was Green Eggs and Ham.  The twist is that he likes them after all.

[redkow97]

I buy copies of Fahrenheit 451 and animal farm even though I already own several...

more recently, I enjoyed the Davinci Code and several of the other Robert Langdon stories. 

Trying to remember what I read on vacation... I started world war Z, but have let that get away from me. Better book than a movie.

the game of thrones series is on my shelf to read at some point. 

[redkow97]

Ready player one. That was good. Quick read on vacation.

The book is almost always better than the movie.The only time I can think of where the movie that was better than the book was The Shawshank Redemption.

I kind of felt that way about The Green Mile as well
