pyrrhic3gun Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Creole Belle by James Lee Burke. This guy seems like one of the best unknown writers of what I'll call detective mysteries ala Clancy...only the Dave Robicheaux series (New Orleans detective) puts the southern twist on it. Three of his books are movies. They are all entertaining reads (to me), but serious enough that I wouldn't give them to children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben b. Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Just read The Hobbit for the 6th time in last 30 years, still enjoy it. Have an American history book written in 1870 that I am working on, the physical book was printed in 1870 and passed thru a few hands in the 142 years before it reached mine.

Gerard Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Burke's novel are definitely not for kids. Robicheaux is a moral guy and works to do right within the law. He might be a good choice for older teens. I'm reading SUNSET AND SAWDUST by Joe R. Lansdale. Creole Belle by James Lee Burke.

JesseM Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm reading this book now called "The Woodcutter" by Reginald Hill. It's sort of a fairytale who-done-it with so it's a bit weird but oddly engaging. I've been on a detective kick recently reading 4 or maybe its 5 at this point of the old Raymond Chandler noir classics with his Philip Marlowe character so when amazon recommended this to me I gave it at try and the sample chapters had me interested enough to buy it.

xsniper Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 FEARLESS, by Eric Blehm. An excellent read, very timely with the Kyle shooting, but it sure made me feel like a whimp when I think of how I handled several of my past injuries. Highly reccomend.
