'read but have been unable to come up with anything specific.'

Come up with some genres or ideas.

Here is some books people have been reading. Maybe some ideas inside.

What Are You Reading Now? - My Quarterly Survey

[Aria]

This wee I’ve been on the couch with swine flu and read The Associate by Grishom .....so if you don’t want to or can’t think too hard that one works.

O’Reilly’s Bold Fresh can be laugh out loud funny.

[JSDude1]

The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe (it is children’s book, but I highly recommend..).

[detective]

The Shadow Party by David Horowitz and Richard Poe
Facing Unpleasant Facts by George Orwell
The Judge: William P. Clark Reagan's Right Hand by Paul Kengor and Patricia Clark Doerner

[freedumb2003]

Isaac Asimov: The Foundation Trilogy
R.A. Heinlein: The Past Through Tomorrow
Frank Herbert: Dune Trilogy (but just the 1st 3)
Orson Scott Card: Ender’s Game and its sequel Speaker For The Dead
Anything by Michner

All of these are great reads and are HUGE, but never boring. In fact, you will be annoyed when the pull you away from them.

Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow. A middle-aged lawyer discovers that his dad, who recently died, was court-martialed during WW2. Son begins reading dad’s diaries, and the story switches between the son’s pov and the dad’s time in Europe during the war. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read- and it has a great surprise at the end.

From your home page Love Free Republic. Adamantly pro choice. Believe God has a place in our schools and other public institutions even tho I don't believe.

Maybe try Mere Christianity or the Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis.

[PUGACHEV]

The General and the Jaguar, a book about Pancho Villa, his attack on Columbus New Mexico, General Pershing, and our ill-stared incursion into Northern Mexico on the eve of WWI: I couldn't put it down once I started. I've read many books on the Mexican Revolution, but in none has the psychopathic nature of Villa been so well described. He was a brilliant organizer, a sometimes inspired general, a gifted public speaker, and an inhuman monster -- sound familiar? It's a book you will not regret reading.

[Rembrandt]

“South of Broad” by Pat Conroy.

[RandallFlagg]

Unintended Consequences.

[texas booster]

Just one good book?

On my last cruise I knocked off 6 decent sized tomes.

Please let us know of your interests.

BTW, get yourself a Kindle. It's the best thing to happen to books since movable type.

I’m reading Bastiat’s “The Law,” but it’s only about 50 pages long. I suggest something with a little more er, weight. Like, “Lonesome Dove.” (Old, but GOOD.) If you want something more edifying, try Mises’ “Human Action.” WEIGHTY. literally.

[Allen In Texas Hill Country]

OK, OK super great and thanks. Now I got to print this thread out and go down to the book store.

Amongst everything I’ve read the Foundation Trilogy.

I’ll look at Ender’s Game for sure.

To all, TYVM.

And I’m for sure waiting for Cheney’s book
