We were on a tight schedule. You know how family vacations are - full of compromise, and everybody's unhappy.

If you mean you want to read anything by any author I suggest Psycho, by Robert Bloch.
Any genre? Do you like fantasy? (Tad Williams has some good ones and I like most of Raymond E Feist's: Riftwar Saga)
not really a fantasy reader. I mean not yet anyway. I like crime novels like the sanford Prey novels I like lee child novels. I like books that can seem like real life. Or ones like kind of make it seem like crazy stuff could happen in real life like Dreamcatcher. I dont know I like the books to either be suspenful or make me think hard
Just finished Field of Prey...took me a long time to read it, not because of story, but because I've been busier than a bureaucrat looking for problems so's I can keep my job. Good story...all of the Prey stories have been entertaining and this one was no different. Check out John D MacDonald if you have not already. I've read a pile of his stories (54) and they have all been a blast to read. A Deadly Shade of Gold, one of the Travis McGee stories is top notch. The McGee stories do not have to be read1, then 2, followed by 3, although the last 3-4 of 21 should be read that way. But his non-Travis McGee stories are good, too. The End of the Night or A Key to the Suite...there's a pile of them.
How funny! Nothing to Lose was my first also, chosen completely at random (though it was on audiobook, from the library) because the spine caught my eye and the summary sounded vaguely interesting. Still probably my favorite.
And the way you discovered Lee Child was precisely the way I discovered Stephen Hunter (Point of Impact, at Walmart). I guess if I'm trying a random book, I like the whole "man on the run" theme!
Try Meg Gardiner's books. They're mystery/suspense, she has a great sense of humor, and several of our SKMB members have been included as characters.
Agree with MsMod's post. Meg Gardiner's books are excellent reads.

I have never heard of this. Thankee. Who?
Dana Jean, PatintheHat, and Flake if I remember correctly, but I can't remember which book titles (they each are in a different one). They entered contests on Meg's web site which is how they were chosen.I have never heard of this. Thankee. Who?
Are you serious that is awesome!!!!Try Meg Gardiner's books. They're mystery/suspense, she has a great sense of humor, and several of our SKMB members have been included as characters.
It is awesome.
Steve discovered her writing after his UK publisher had sent him a copy of one of her books and gave her career a boost when he wrote about her in one of his EW columns. She's American but had only been published in the UK at that time because she hadn't been able to get a publishing contract in the US. That happened after he wrote the column praising her work and asking why no US publisher had picked her up, though.
You know I love hearing stories like that. I got to check it out.It is awesome.
Nah, just Deej and Patrick... I was runner-up a couple of times and received a signed book for each. The contests were a lot of fun and Meg is a lovely person... I like her writing too.
Ahhh...that must be why I was misremembering. I'd thought you had mentioned the signed book but forgot it was as a runner-up.Nah, just Deej and Patrick...
