Killing Floor - Lee Child ; the first Jack Reacher novel. It was decent, but I'm not making this series a priority


Would urge you to read further....I have read the whole series and found it entertaining as hell. Would also recommend John Connolly Charlie Parker series starting with Every Dead Thing. Oh, and give Barry Eisler a shot. Starting with Rain Fall.

I haven't read a good book in over a year. I used to be in the habit of burning through about thirty minutes of reading before sleepytime. I need to get back on the bookwagon. What am I in the mood to read?..........

How about - military/nonfiction/1700-1850/international/lot of depth?

any suggestions?

I have read one Eisler book, can't remember the title offhand. It was a free e-book (or 99 cents or something like that). I liked it.

THEY JUMP FROM CHAPTER TO CHAPTER

Finished Always A Pirate: The Steve Blass Story. 

Fall of Hyperion - Dan Simmons : the second of the Hyperion Cantos, actually the conclusion of Hyperion (the two books are essentially one book published in two volumes). Very good

Endymion - Dan Simmons : sequel to the Hyperion couplet, this is the only one of the four-book series not to win the Locus award, though it was short-listed. Weirdly enough, the book ends with the main characters finding "old Earth" and traveling to Taleisin West. I finished the book while in Scottsdale, having visited Taliesin West earlier that day.

Cabinet of Curiosities - Preston/Child : the third Pendergast novel, very good, even better than the Relic/Reliquary couplet.

Best American Sports Writing 2012 : actually stories published mostly in 2011. There were a fair number I'd seen before from SI or ESPN but there was plenty of good stuff from local writers

Best Nonrequired Reading 2012 : A mishmash of fiction, non-fiction, comics, etc. I was not too impressed. Lots of material regarding the Occupy Wall Street movement which didn't really add anything to my understanding. Comics very difficult to read on a Kindle. I liked the piece on the RLSH (Real Life Super Hero) Phoenix Jones from Seattle and a few short stories were interesting as well.

Best Science and Nature Writing 2012: This was quite good, lots of interesting stuff. Everything covered from bacteria to dinosaurs to artificial intelligence.

The Looking Glass War - John LeCarre: LeCarre reading project continues.
