Any books by Jeffery Deaver, Dennis Lehane, David Morrell and Lee Child, in my opinion they are the best thriller writers in the business!! I am a avid reader in this genre and have read Coben, King, Koontz, F. Paul Wilson, Connelly, and many others but none can touch these authors I've listed! The Deaver book I've just finished reading now is "The Sleeping Doll"--a brand new release and has literally keeped me up at nights!! I'm quite sure you'll love his other thrillers as well, such as "The Bone Collector", "A Maiden's Grave", "The Coffin Dancer", "Praying For Rain", "Cold Moon", "The Twelveth Card", "The Vanished Man", "Devil's Tear Drop" et el. For Lehane, start with "A Drink Before War" (don't let the title fool you) then "Darkness Take My Hand", "Sacred", "Gone, Baby Gone", "Prayers For Rain", "Shutter Island" and "Mystic River." For Lee Child, you can start with his first and move forward, but it's Ok if you don't. Some personal favs are: "One Shot", "Trip Wire", "Hard Luck and Trouble"--a new release, "The Persuader"-my personal fav, "The Hard Way", but they are all page turners! Also, last but definately not least is David Morrell. All his books are good, but I especially enjoy his last two releases "Creepers" and "Scavenger" which are guaranteed page-turners. Enjoy, Greg

"A Wizard of Earthsea" in hardcover. It's in the mail (at least, it's supposed to be).
Currently re-reading: "The Sword in the Stone" by T. H. White. What a great book. It *still* makes me laugh out loud.
Also reading: New World Translation and Today's New International Version bibles (when I can).
I *always* get hardcover books when available. They last longer (and I read the good stuff more than once).

Have you read The Road by Cormac Mc Carthy? It won this year's Pulitzer Prize. Everyone should read it. It is a true future classic. It is a book that you will think about for a long time after you are done. Pax - C

The second book in the Early Spring Series by VC Andrews. I read the first one and now i have it reserved from the library so i am just waiting for the person who has borrowed it to return it.

I think I might next read "In the Country of Men" by Hisham Matar, a novel about a dissident family in Moamar Qaddafi's Libya. It is apparently based on his own family history.

"Lovely Bones". It's paperback, but I don't see the difference.

Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich. I will have to read it in hardback since it just came out a couple weeks ago.

No book in particular comes to mind. I will read almost anything.
