Any good books?...

[JinSun]

So I just recently ran out of books to read. I have a kindle so I can use that, but any good suggestions? Something... non-fiction...

Anything? Some of you lot must be literate...

Joseph Mitchell. Up in the Old Hotel. Collection of magazine pieces from the New Yorker from the 1940s through '60s. Mitchell's main subject are quirky characters in and around New York, and the waterfront in particular.

I'm reading two books.

Black Cross by Greg Iles. Historical fiction on Nazi chemical warfare and the development of Soman and testing and using it. Slow start but finally getting to some action.

Johnny Tremain. Ya, ya...I know it's Jr high reading. But I volunteer for a reading discussion group for this age. Boring, dry tale of the Boston Tea Party.

Last good book I finished was No Easy Day, about the SEAL killing of bin Laden.

Thanks for the suggestions...I'll check them out.

The Passage by Justin Cronin

Always a good choice. I like the ones with the dinos.

Most anything by the author known as amicus...

...should elicit at least some kind of rise out of most.

good non-fiction

Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen

Love is a Mixtape by Robert Sheffield

Killing the White Man's Indian

They're no pop-ups, but they're perhaps worth a look.

Longitude is EXCELLENT! And was made into a very good movie.

Plugging my own books, but check out the reviews for yourself:

"Poor Man's Fight" is non-erotic sci-fi: http://www.amazon.com/Poor-Mans-Fight-ebook/dp/B00B3WZ4VY

"Good Intentions" is erotic, comedic urban fantasy: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Intentions-ebook/dp/B0054E8QYE

(Read the warning on "Good Intentions." Also, note that no vampires or werewolves get laid over the course of that book. Just wanted to put that out there.)

Oh. Shit. You said non-fiction. Sorry.

My favorite non-fic book ever (besides the Art of War): http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Blue-Water-Catastrophe-ebook/dp/B000PDZFCU

"Empire of Blue Water" is about Henry Morgan's pirates in the Caribbean. It's fascinating and an easy read. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll pick a few then read them but I don't think I'll ever get through all these...
