Recently read and loved the The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence. Game of Thrones-ish, but with an anti-hero you just have to root for, despite (or because of) just how gnarly and ruthless he is. Fun reads
Read the entire "Change" series...Some interesting ideas and imagination, but also kind of cheesy. overall enjoyed them I guess, if you're in to fantasy and post apocalyptic stuff.
Just read Khaled Hosseini's most recent: "And The Mountains Echoed"...snooze. Come on Khaled, it's like you write the same story over and over again. Maybe I'm just not that subtle. But we get it, poor Afghan kid, extended family, some early tragedy, then everyone sort of reconnects decades later with a few crazy coincidences. Mix in some homosexuality, rinse, and repeat..
About half way through "The Dog Stars"...another post apocalyptic journey, really enjoying it. You will too if you like apocalypses, violence, nature, guns, planes, and loyal dogs.
Love all of Hiassen's books. I think Bad Monkey was most recent? they're all blast.
Latest Jack Reacher was ok, not as good as some of the earlier installments...
Latest installment in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales was ok, not as good or gnarly as the earlier books, but still good. I really love all of that medieval warfare and fantasy stuff.
Also just read "The Abominable" as recommended on one of these threads. Also a cool read. Mt Everest meets The Bourne books

so relaxed with a couple Ed McBain and Donald Westlake crime novels.
