Just being a member of this site is clue enough that I love to read, but I am always looking for new authors to try, and no subject is taboo. Shoot, sometimes just to scratch the itch I'll read the back of a cereal box. Not much plot-wise, but passes the time. My goal this year is to read 100 books...but with 2 young ones I'm not sure how close... more »

    Have you read anything by Timothy Zahn? He's my favorite Star Wars author. You should check out his stuff--try Outbound Flight to get started. It's a fast read and gets you into the beginning of his SW timeline.

    I liked the Force Heretic Books too. The second Thrawn series was my favorite Spectre of the Past and Vision of the Future. Right now I'm reading a book called The Intelligencer it's part Elizabethan part modern day spy/historical fiction novel. It's really good.

    Hey! John: Bruno-uno here. I recommend three authors: Stephen J. Cannell, Jonathan Kellerman, Lorenzo Carcaterra. They write about the tough streets of Los Angeles. One of my favorite books is George Raft by Lewis Yablonsky. It is probably out-of-print. George Raft was our kind of guy, professional boxer, dancer and actor. All of us kids tried to look like George Raft. I wanted "patent leather' hair just like his. Half a jar of vasoline later I looked in the mirror. Hey Man! It didn't work with young guys with blonde hair. YOU DIG!!!

    I just checked out the Shatner biography from the library. So on that basis alone, I say let's be friends. :)

    You're welcome! Good luck with your reading goal; 100 books is quite lofty even for those who do not have children. =)

    Apart from what felt like a tagged-on ending, I really liked Alina Reyes' The Butcher. The few other tomes of erotica I've read since that have been rubbish, so that's why I wanted to know about Herotica. I'll maybe add a copy to my Wish List now. :-)

    Hello John. Pleased to meet you. It was your copy of Herotica I was wondering about. What did you think of it?

    Now I remember!! I read those books probably about 10 years ago but it's referring to Admiral Thrawn! Yay, thanks for the good memory.

    What's the Thrawn series? I may have read it and it's on my shelf but that name is not ringing any bells! :)
