For nonfiction, Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Lewis, the Freakonomics guys, and a book I finished last night, Throw Them All Out, by Peter Schweizer (I’ll never trust a politician of any party ever again).
For fiction:
Lee Child, Jack Reacher series
Wilbur Smith, I especially liked the Courtney’s series – I’d start with Birds of Prey
George R R Martin, Song of Ice and Fire series – especially the first three, not so wild about fourth and fifth books
Louis L’Amour, especially the Sacketts series
Ken Follett, especially Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, and Fall of Giants
For Kindle owners, there are many (of my favorite) free classics by Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, Jack London, Robert Luis Stevenson, H G Wells, Charles Dickens, H Rider Haggard, Edgar Rice Burroughs
Individual books or series that I will reread: The Power of One by Bryce Courtney, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series by Stieg Larsson, The Stand by Stephen King, and several of the free classics mentioned above – Les Mis, Tale of Two Cities, maybe some Tarzan.
