He wrote 2 Conan novels that were good. Frank Herbert is a great author but not for everyone. Love his Dune stuff and also read his sons prequal sequal books he writes with Kevin J Anderson. Robin Hobb is good with several trilogies out there to buy. Phillip Jose Farmer wrote some crazy stories that are interesting. Elizabeth Moon writes some good space battle type SciFi. Arthur C Clarke Isaac Azimov Robert Zelazny Robert Adams Isnt Sanderson the guy thats helping finish The wheel of time? Im a nerd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Wilson. His Repairman Jack series is second to none. But before you read the first RJ book you must read The Keep! It actually sets the dynamic for further novels by Wilson. I have not been disappointed in any of his other books either. www.repairmanjack.com Vince Flynn is my second favorite of all time, you have to start with the first one of 'Term Limits. Then the same thing goes for Flynn, once you read one you will want to read them all. www.vinceflynn.com Lee Child is another author that is very good. He is my 3rd favorite. www.leechild.com Brad Thor is awesome! www.bradthor.com Daniel Silva is also really good. www.danielsilva.com Those are just a few. But the best book to read and learn from is The Bible! Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

When I used to take alot of road trips I'd just check out a few cds' and enjoy. Stephen King is my favorite author but I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on. Ron Paul has some good stuff if you're into that kind of thing. and don't forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Musn't forget Weaveworld by Clive Barker, fantastic! Also really interesting..... Erik Durschmeid - "The Hinge Factor, How chance and stupidity have changed history". Basically great military cock-ups on massive scales, truly unbeleivable in the witlessness of military leaders and buffoons. "The Weather Factor". how weather changed the factors of war.
