everybody's talking about game of thrones, so that's coming up soon.
Its also about time to reread fellowship, towers and return.
Is Contact the same one they made a movie (Jodi Foster and Mathew Mccontahay) out of?

You guys are way to serious for a vacation read... [Beer]
More Scifi:
"Ringworld" and its sequels by Larry Niven
"Ender's Game" & sequels (esp "Ender's Shadow") by Orson Scott Card
Hugo & Nebula award winners.
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher is a great vacation read fantasy series. It is about a modern day Wizard private eye. He is in Chicago, and has an ad in the phone book. No one takes him serious, but he is an actual wizard. The books read like an episode of a television cop show (he works closely with the local police Special Investigations unit), only with vampires and faeries and stuff. Pretty fun read, and you can blaze through the books in no time.

Decent cheesy and somewhat trashy read
On to this next: Kincade's Death

In what genre would you place Kincade's Death?
It's a western, and I recommend the series for sure. The first is Kincade's Blood.Quote:

I'm limiting my selections to books where guns are a primary theme (since this is a gun forum after all):
+1 on Patriots
You also cannot go wrong with Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matthew Bracken. It's the first in a great trilogy.
Another absolutely fantastic gun book is Unintended Consequences if you can manage to find a copy.
Molon Labe is also a good read.
