Recommend me a book

Heading to the beach in a few days. Recommend me a page turner.

[Nole-4-Life 804]

Anything Dean Koontz is pretty much a mindless page turner. I find his books very enjoyable. Also John Grisham.

House to House by David Bellavia

[HookEm 2,468]

I generally like apocolyptic stuff. Anything of that sort?

[SimonBolivar 10,960]

CyberStorm by Matthew Mather is a page turner and apocalyptic.

[Patron 230]

I Am Pilgrim

[Damor 1,237]

Have you read World War Z?

Other good beach books for me have been The Martian, Ready Player One, Life of Pi, and Lamb - The Gospel According to Biff.

[HookEm 2,468]

Have read WWZ. Enjoyed it.  A friend was reading Ready Player One.  It is on my short list.

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep 'em coming.

Warning for Ready Player One, if you are an above average reader, speed wise, you can finish it in a few hours.

While not really apocalyptic per se, The Expanse novels are set in a type of dystopian future and set across the galaxy plus on earth.

[HookEm 2,468]

Interesting suggestion. Will take a look.

Regarding reading speed, I am definitely on the slow side.

Thinking about the checklist manifesto if anyone has any thoughts there.

Read this whole series. Set in Austin and Central Texas to begin, then moves across the state. 

Enjoyed it. Mindless, page turning fun.

The Road...Cormac 

[Bama Llama 1,450]

Hell at the Breech by Tom Franklin

Historical fiction about class warfare in 1890s Clarke County, Alabama.  Crazy shit really happened but the read is outstanding, like well aged whiskey.    A first novel but an outstanding one.

Also, anything by Nelson DeMille or John LeCarre. 

[Quagmire 2,147]

Since you said beach you should read this , could save your life

LeCarre via Audible is so damn mellifluous, written precisely for the Brit accent...reads well also.

Three Body Problem is the first of a large trilogy that I'm halfway through. Alien contact and they're coming to take over. It will take 400 years for them to get here.

Excellently written on the large and small scales. Not exactly a thriller page-turner, but fascinating and new.

 

Thanks for the rec on I Am Pilgrim. I just ordered it. 

[Kyle 207]

A childhood friend wrote Big Woods inspired by our home town. Worth a read.

[EvilCaseMcCoy 691]

The road is good.  I read while on a beach trip.  

Wool is a pretty good apocolyptic book.  Its a little longer though.  

[thrillhammer 684]

you fuckers oughta know the rules by now.  no fucking book talk in the movie room.
