After reading the brilliant Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, followed by Dragonfly in Amber, I am now hooked and onto Voyager, the third book in the series. Great stuff set in 18th century Scotland and France.

"The Devil's Guard" (again) by George Robert Elford

"Make Me" by Lee Child

"Unintended Consequences" by John Ross


I think everyone should read Unintended Consequences, would help a lot of people understand liberty, personal responsibility, and the consequences of letting the government have too much power over you/letting them restrict your rights. To facilitate this, I will post a link to a free PDF

Now I'm on book 4 of David Blixt's brilliant Star-Cross'd series - the true story of Romeo and Juliet.

Everyone should read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Harari. It's a real eye-opener.

House To House, by David Bellavia, about the 2nd Battle of Fallujah and the incident that led to him being nominated for the Medal of Honor. Just got to the incident, and he not only is storming a hardened house full of trained fighters alone with almost no ammo, but he ends up beating a guy with one of his ceramic body armor plates

Travels of a Palm Reader would have been good if the author wasn't such an areshole and if he could have convinced me that palmistry actually worked.
