LVR,
TheCEO & I pound through about 40-50 books per year, each...sometimes the same book,
usually different interests. I have walls full from recent and/or "saver" 1st eds., we have read;
we give bags of previously read books to the local library every year.

In recent weeks, have read John Sanford's Invisible Prey, Koontz's The Good Guy,
Frazier's Thirteen Moons, (for the 2nd time), Richard Ford's Lay of the Land, a very
good book on the geography & geology of the US, The Eternal Frontier,
Economic Hit Man, from your list, etc.

Have a half dozen lined up, to be dug into, the next few weeks.
We love to read...

I'm addicted to W.E.B. Griffin, Clancy, and Stephen Ambrose.

I've got tons of books in the house, and have been successful at passing the love of reading down to the kids.

In fictional writing I read a very divirse collection but for factual books to add to your collection check out

Guns, Germs and Steel By Jarod Diamond A study on how these three elements changed history, culture and the face of the world

I did enjoy Freakanomics by Steven Levitt not necessarily totally believeable but definately and interesting read

Just finished a book by Michael Cordy called the Miracle Strain. Great book. I also like Tom Clancy and Dean Koontz and one my favourite writers is Nicholas Sparks who wrote, Message In A Bottle, The Notebook, A road to remember, and loads more.

I don't think I've read a fiction book since 7th or 8th grade. Books I'm currently working on:

Toyota Production System
Toyota Way
The Goal

None of the books I listed are fiction... they are all stories about/by interesting people..

Cheers

Clancy, all the Star Wars books, golf books, etc...

(oh yeah, medicine)

I am a big fan of Mario Puzo, he wrote The Godfather, the last book I read of his was Omerta

Read Harry Potter VII
!ouch:
first pleasure read in a long time.


I've read a few.
What kind of student doesn't?
