    Are you just looking for mil-related stuff or action-fiction? Someone mentioned history. I just rewatched the Band of Brothers and just started "Bastogne" by Guy Franz Arend. Interesting so far. If you just want a thought provoking book, read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. It changed the way I look at money.

    Or if you want to geek it out totally.. and becoming horribly addicted and curse the fact that the original Author died..

    'The Wheel of Time' - Robert Jordan..

    I'm sorry but it just doesn't feel right that someone else is finishing the series.. you can tell it's not Jordan writing..and the FINAL book is being delayed for no good reason!

    I just started "On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace" - Dave Grossman. I have had this book for year now and have finally started "actually" reading it. It is hard for me to find time to read or the want but I do enjoy it when I do.

    That author is Brandon Sanderson, whom I recommended earlier. Another reason to read his books.

    Wow, quite the list of authors there... My mom love Lee Child, says I need to start reading those books- didn't he write the book that the new Tom Cruise movie is based on (Jack Reacher)?

    Yes. And all the Jack Reacher fans are PISSED. In the books, he's like 6'6" and 280lbs. Ex MP and a badass.

    Cruise, not so much.

    LOL.... that's what my mom said, she was like "Isn't Tom Cruise like 5'5"? And he doesn't look nearly buff enough to be what Lee described Jack to be..." That's Hollywood for ya!
    Another great example is The Walking Dead- almost nothing like the comics...
