Hi there

Do any of you read any non hobby related books?

I love books, I love books just as much as i like modeling.

At the moment I am reading Stephen King's "The dark tower" vol. 5. Love that series.

I read quite a few Anne Rice books, a few years ago, but got bored with her. She have writen far to many vampire books.

Dean Koontz is one of my all time favorites.
Robert Ludlum, David Baldacci, Tom Clancy, Michael Connelly, Brian Lumley, James Herbert, Elizabeth George, Tolkien, Rowlings, Clive Barker and Preston & Child are all authors whom I enjoy.

I just ordered a Terry Goodkind 3-book boxset, from Amazon. Looking forward to that.

Hi, Lots of Native American books and American Civil War stuff as wel. Of course, not to mention W/W.II. Also some books on volcanoes and earth quakes and the scientific studies of them and plate tectonics. American frontier books as they relate to the old Northwest Territory and the frontiers of the 1700s as well.

Take care, Sgirty

Clive Cussler is a god at writing a great action novel. If you like a good mystery try Anne Perry.
