    and then max brook's world war z: an oral history of the zombie war. great read. it's like a modern day war of the worlds. no $h*t, this is how the world is going to end.

    or if you're into libertarian gun fiction, matthew bracken's enemies foreign and domestic is a can't-put-down page turner.

    just my $0.02.

    Anything by W.E.B. Griffin is always fun. When I was a little younger working a graveyard clerk job I read his whole "the corps" series in about a week! They are definately great books!

    If you are into SciFi at all, a really good book is Dies The Fire by S.M. Stirling.

    Be careful though - there are 3 sequels and once you read this book you'll insist on reading the sequels!

    http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Die...1460417/?itm=1
    (Also in unabridged 17 CD set if you need something to listen to while driving).

    Synopsis

    The Change occurred when an electrical storm centered over the island of Nantucket produced a blinding white flash that rendered all electronic devices and fuels inoperable. What follows is the most terrible global catastrophe in the history of the human race-and a Dark Age more universal and complete than could possibly be imagined.
    Publishers Weekly

    What is the foundation of our civilization? asks Stirling (Conquistador) in this rousing tale of the aftermath of an uncanny event, "the Change," that renders electronics and explosives (including firearms) inoperative. As American society disintegrates, without either a government able to maintain order or an economy capable of sustaining a large population, most of the world dies off from a combination of famine, plague, brigandage and just plain bad luck. The survivors are those who adapt most quickly, either by making it to the country and growing their own crops-or by taking those crops from others by force. Chief among the latter is a former professor of medieval history with visions of empire, who sends bicycling hordes of street thugs into the countryside. Those opposing him include an ex-Marine bush pilot, who teams up with a Texas horse wrangler and a teenage Tolkien fanatic to create something very much like the Riders of Rohan. Ultimately, Stirling shows that while our technology influences the means by which we live, it is the myths we believe in that determine how we live. The novel's dual themes-myth and technology-should appeal to both fantasy and hard SF readers as well as to techno-thriller fans.
