[Books] Book Suggestions

[cubby]

I'm looking for new authors to read. I've included my two favorite categories and the authors I've read so far (that I've liked). Thanks ahead of time!

Thriller

John Sandford
Lee Child
James Patterson
Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens
Stephen King (although he is much more horror than thriller)
John Birmingham (again, probably more sci-fi than thriller, but you know, potato, po-tah-to)


Sci-Fi

Stephen Baxter
Arthur C Clarke
Isaac Asimov
Robert Heinlein

Jean M. Auel's Earth's children is awesome books. You can read about them here

[Disenchanted]

Justin Cronin's "The Passage."

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Fantastic book, couldn't put it down. Didn't realize it was the first of three so the ending simultaneously thrilled/frightened/pissed me off. Can't wait for the next one.

On a side note, regarding "The Passage", I am reading the synopsis of the second one (coming out in October) and it's a little, well, odd. Seems like the story resumes back during the beginning of the crisis rather than continuing where the first book left off, but then links the new and old stories together. Anyway, looks good regardless.

Yep. Seems like it will have a dual story going on for a bit. Judging by his writing ability, I'm sure it will work.

The ending: I was happy with it. Nice ending, everything more or less tied up. Even if another book never came, it stands on its own. Then I see there's an epilogue... and it's basically Justin Cronin walking up to you with a big smile on his face...

And then he sucker punches you right in the gut. LOL. I immediately pre-ordered "The Twelve." Can't wait for October. There's AR copies floating around eBay, but I'll wait.
