I'm a new addict, and after reading three I would never I would not start attending any twelve step program that could harm the joy!

I wasn't even going to enter the drawing but if his books are THAT good... I'm in.

I heard about him from MB's podcast and the 47th Samurai, but I did not pick it up.  Then I watched "Shooter" and said I need to read this guy.  I picked up three books, having faith, and I'm hooked.

I just started reading Black Light, after all this talk of Stephen Hunter I just had to pick it up when I was in Goodwill. Great place to shop if you want to try out new authors without paying $8 a book.

They ARE that good, Just wish I could find "Hot Springs" . I saw "Shooter" and liked the twist at the end, then I saw Mr. Hunter on NRA News and decided I should keep him in mind next time I was at the library. The Swagger series are REAL good  ;D

I have just finished reading my 3rd book of Stephen Hunter. Man I LOVE these books.! They are the best. This guy writes in a way you find yourself right there.. breathing hard.. not moving.. feeling your finger gently and quietly squeezing the trigger.. and for the last 2 weeks. I have been in sniper mode.  8)
I even dream about sniper situations .. with me being in there someplace.. sometimes they have all kinds of other stupid things going on.. but it is a dream.. and it always makes sense  ::)  That's why they call them dreams.. ;D

I have read.. Point of Impact ( which is NOTHING like the "Shooter" movie.. Book is way better)
Night of Thunder and Black Light.
 I just got home the other day from Wichita.. and bought 6 more. I am starting Dirty White Boys tonight..

These are great books.. but don't expect them to do too much for a marriage..
No talking.. No sex.. No nothing.. I do my work.. cook supper and eat with my nose in the book.  ;D ;D

But I get by with it....cause Marshal has his in one too.  :)

( I lied about the sex part;)

I too, really enjoy Mr. Hunter's books. I have: Point of Impact (which has been read at least 3 times), Time To Hunt, Blacklight, and The Master Sniper. I need to get to the bookstore and pick up some others, now that I think about it.
