Book Recomendations

[Ksail101]

I have seen and asked questions on Non-Fiction gun books, but now I have read all the Stephen Hunter books, Robert Ludlem, Tom Clancy, ficiton books, so I looking for new Authors and great books that you all can recomend. I love reading and I have read alot of books, but books are not talked about nearly as much as movies so it is hard to hear about good ones out there. So any book as long as it have a gun and is a great read please recomend it. Thanks everyone. And Mr. Michael Bane I have loved almost everybook you have talked about on your podcast so please chime in.

If you are into US history, you might want to consider John Jakes and The Kent Chronicles.

I am reading the series now for the 4th time, first time was over 20 years ago.

I assume you've read Unintended Consequences by John Ross.  That's a given, right?

Ya know......

There's this guy named Michael Bane that has put out some pretty damn readable books.  Some fiction, some not, but all entertaining.

If you really like to read I would strongly recommend Most books By Louis L'Amour. My personal Favorite Is Last of the Breed

I just got done reading Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson. It was an interesting true story account of the famous Marine Sniper ...  Sergeant Carlos Hathcock. You might like it if you've not read it already.

Two suggestions:

Westerns: the old Hopalong Cassidy stories by Clarence Mulford, hard to find but good. Also very different from the character portrayed by William Boyd on TV and in the movies. But that's OK, gives us two different story sets.

Spy: John LeCarre (pseudonym), a guy who had been there, done that in British intelligence. Not your usual technology focused spy stories, but focused on the people and the relationships and the psychology of spying. His books, like Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Russia House, Tailor of Panama, etc., are very deep, very thick, and not always positive. After reading The Honourable Schoolboy, I was in a massively foul mood for 3-4 weeks. They are that good. Here's a hint - read 50-100 pages, then start over, much easier to get his pacing and style that way.

LeCarre is the best author IMHO short of Shakespeare.
