    I agree on this one. I have a copy on mp3 too, if you want it.

    yup.

    I just started but I can tell from the first 20 pages that the book will be vastly superior to the film. (I did like the film a lot, tho.)

    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.

    Finishing this up right now http://www.amazon.com/Go-Go-Girls-Ap.../dp/1416552251



    Decent cheesy and somewhat trashy read

    On to this next: Kincade's Death

    It's a western, and I recommend the series for sure. The first is Kincade's Blood.

    They're fun easy reads, like a lot of westerns

    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.
