Joshua R. Die Hard Rat Registered: 05/08/12 Posts: 2825	I am a huge fan of reading and am always looking for a new book. I love anything that is based on real life and especially military topics. I am also a huge fan of biographies about influential people of the past. Looking for a few suggestions from my friends here. What are you guys reading? Thanks Joshua

I'm always looking for a good read and I like many different types; fiction, non-fiction, bio, I like them all. Josh, I really like the Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz, as well as The Great Gastpy by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren.

Facey, both Australian books. _________________________ Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes that would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head, that’ll freak you right out.

There are already hundreds of books for both, and new ones are being written all the time. _________________________

Lora Senior Member Registered: 12/19/12 Posts: 575 Loc: Swampland Ohio	Josh recommended Culture of Complaint: The Fraying of America to me. The author is Robert Hughes. I might have to borrow it once I'm done with Gone Girl by Jillian Flynn

Thanks Joshua Josh, I have a new one to read that was given to me for xmas. Soldier Dogs written by Maria Goodavage. I'm waiting for a good oportunity to get stuck into it. I too like reading military books. My most recent was SAS by Ian McPhedran. About the Aussie elite special forces. _________________________ Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes that would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head, that’ll freak you right out.

Drumrboy Die Hard Rat Registered: 05/08/12 Posts: 4900 Loc: Always on the move	Oliver North writes some pretty interesting fictional books. He has a series, so make sure you start with the first one. It really ties in to what he was doing back in the 80's. _________________________ Old School Swamp Rat Never Stop Trying
