Just finished Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle for the second time, I also like his others as well.

Also just finished Patrick O'Brian for the third time and Hornblower for the fourth, about time to do the Jane Whitefield novels for the second time.

Barry Eisler's Rain novels are also good and I've enjoyed Tony Hillerman and James Hall as well. James Carlos Blake is also splendid, his Under the Skin is as hardboiled and authentic as they come.

I also HIGHLY recommend William Fortschen's One Second After. This is perhaps the most compelling disaster novel I've ever read, and I've read a LOT of 'em.

You can lead a man to logic but you can't make him think. NRA Life since 1976. God bless America!
