When I was younger I read a ton of Stephen King books, and I read a ton of John Grisham books too. I will tell you that when I read the Stand by King, I really thought I'd accomplished something, its longer than War and Peace...literally. So I've read some. And then I didn't read much for a long time. But then I'd pick up a book here and there over the past decade, maybe one or two books a year. But last year when my laptop died, I didn't replace it for a couple of months, and I started reading books again. And my good friend Julie recommended that I read Wild Fire by Nelson DeMille. She said I reminded her of the lead character John Cory, who was a terminable smartass, swore too much and was generally a deadpan grump. So, I read it and I agree. Except John Cory was a badass, me...not so much. So then I realized that the John Cory character was part of a trilogy and this was actually the latest book of the three. So over the next three weeks, I read all three of them. And then I read most of his other books. I think I read twelve of them. And I loved them all. So, if you need a good read, and you like cops and spies and bad guys and things like the cold war, and terrorists and CIA and FBI, you should check out Nelson DeMille. Click HERE for his website. I wouldn't steer ya wrong would I?
