Max Lucado mostly, this time of year, but I like Ray Bradbury occasionally.

Ted Bell is awesome if you are into the "Jack Ryan" genre of book

Just finished a compelation by Michael McIntosh of Robert Raurk's articles on Africa, that was great.

And Mike Greenburg's book, "Why my wife think's I'm an idiot" is a fantastic book for anyone of the sports persuassion

[ptghunter]

North American Whitetail, Bowhunter and Deer & deer hunting. Great reading!!!!!!!!!!

[Arps]

anything Michael Crichton is usually pretty good.

[tmarsh83]

The Rainmaker, The Last Juror, Bleachers, great books....

If you are looking for something to read quick, its kind of a teen book, but if I could find it, I would buy about 10 copies of it, and just read them over and over, is "Lion Hound", by Jim Kjllard (spelling might not be right), awesome book, a little under you maybe, but it's right at dean's level...hahaha

Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters.....By Meg Meeker.

[jstalljon]

C.J. Box is one of my favorites.

Stories surround a game warden out in Wyoming.

Don't have much time anymore, unless I am flying somewhere for work. I enjoy reading westerns written back in the 1930's-1960's by writers such as Loius L'Amour, Max Brand, Luke Short and Zane Grey. Louis L'Amour is by far my favorite. I have over 300 westerns and all but a handful of L'Amours...all in paperback.

Can't beat A Sand County Almanac for a non-fiction read.

Seems like it's almost all I do.

Just finished Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (one of my favorites). Just getting ready to start Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Both of these are for my classes. When I get any time to read for strictly myself, it's usually Patrick McManus.

I find myself just reading updates for work issues, takes up most of my free time.
I have been reading more gardening books and building plans to start a greenhouse in the spring. I often re-read training books for dogs, eager to get the new puppy soon.

JC - you really dug that post out from the past!

Dr. Seuss ... I'm a dad ...

I used to read for myself ... then I had kids. All I read now it seems is kid's stuff, hunting magazines, Cabela's & Mack's catalogs.

[Money Maker]

Wildfowl for me, that magazine is great

[Flintlocker]

Yup.

I like Larry McMurtry... Lonesome Dove series (there are 4 of them). Last summer I found his Berrybender trilogy about a family of English Aristocrats in the 1830's American West. Adventure, history, humor. Excellent reads all.A couple of years ago, while on vacation, I found "A Hunter's Journey-the education of an outdoorsman" by Dan Prusi. A collections of tales and remembrances from his life as a hunter and fisherman.

[GCMC]

Wildfowl and Gun Dog for me. Cover to cover every issue.

[huntnprayn]

Anything by C.S. Lewis. Yes even his stories!!! I love Screwtape Letters.

[Hoosier_Steelheader]

I know Mark, was kinda "goofing" around, but look what an after-life it has...

For short reads I also like:
"The Big Two Hearted River"...
"Of Mice and Men...'

[jaymac]

"Seizing your Divine Moment"--Erwin Rahpael McManus: Similar to John Eldridge's Wild at Heart, but not as "Woodsy"

I stumbled upon Robert Ludlum about a year ago. Yep, he's the guy that wrote the Bourne Trilogy. Absolutely great reads! I recommend "The Ambler Warning".

[cjones46]

I was never able to read just for entertainment. I get bored.

The last 3 are as follows:

1) The 9/11 Commission Reports - every single anger inducing page
2) The Nitsche Reader
3) Interventionism: An Economic Analysis -Mises

Yesterday I ordered "The End of America" by Naomi Wolf.
There's also a stack of Cabelas, field and stream and Bowhunter's in my "Thinking Room."

Can't wait to make my kid a young outcast by reading my books to him haha

[hunter47331]

I'll show my redneck side...

Coupldn't wait to get out of English class... hated it. Only interested in reading material that covers hobbies of mine... or the news of course.

Have you read his Out of the Silent Planet? We have our honors students read that book. Most of them like it but find it somewhat difficult.

I have my Comp kids read Ellison's King of the Bingo Game. They write a critical paper on it. Interesting story.
