For some easy reading fun I enjoy the Benedict Jack's Alex verus series.

Working through 32 hours of this
Quite good. -
I'd add:
The Great Railway Bazaar (Paul Theroux)
Q&A: A Novel (Vikas Swarup - this is the book version of Slumdog Millionaire)
In the Heat of the Night (John Ball)
The Outsider (Albert Camus)
Corelli's Mandolin (Louis De Bernieres)
The Culture of Contentment (John Kenneth Galbraith...this book from the early 90s will explain everything about where we now are politically)
Confessions of an Advertising Man (David Ogilvy) -
Can’t remember who rec’ed Flash Boys but just finished that. Good stuff, Michael Lewis does well with that genre, obviously.
@minion_doog finished Surprise Vanish Kill 3-4 weeks ago. Outstanding. The one main guy needs a bio-pic. Insane life. -

Damn - doesn't anyone other than @Doog_de_Jour read trashy books?
How about Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series that doesn't star Tom Cruise? good quick reads.
Steve Berry books featuring super spy Cotton Mather
James Rollins books with super spy fighting agency SIGMA
most of my porn collection is by anonymous so can't really recommend them -

Get the app (assuming you have a library card) and then you can use it to borrow e-books from your regional library by searching the app, then click on a book you like and it instantly opens Amazon and asks you if you want to transfer it to your Kindle -> transfer it, read it, then use the app to return it within 3 weeks. Free, easy, and amazing. -
It's teh teets. I use it mostly for audiobooks, set it on 1.5 or even 1.75 speed, and knock that shit out.Meek said:

Pro Libby tip: If you're listening to a book before you go to sleep, set a bookmark and then the sleep timer. If you ass out before the timer, you'll know roughly where to go back to.

literally described me and the thousands of podcasts I've "listened" to... turn on a podcast, fall asleep within 2 minutes, wake up and I've completed it. I never retain anything. I can't deal with audio books for that reason. My commute is 8 minutes so doesn't work for me in the car and everywhere else I just fall asleep (parenthood has left me chronically sleep deprived apparently) so I need to just read the old fashioned way - with my eyes.GrundleStiltzkin said:Pro Libby tip: If you're listening to a book before you go to sleep, set a bookmark and then the sleep timer.
