    Not a sci fi fan but Dune is an awesome book in my opinion.

    I have been thinking I need to start reading more again. I found this thread after a quick search. Just ordered "Missing 411: Western United States".

    Has anyone read it?

    Also, what are you reading right now/ what's on deck to read?

    Read Dune when I was a kid. Always thought the ending was stupid, like Hebert had 5 minutes to finish it.

    IMO, must reads are Clinton, Inc/Halper and Profiles of Corruption/Schweizer.

    I liked Patterson and Grisham for a while but then they all started to seemed to be predictable scripts.

    Mission Earth
    This is a dekology(10 books).
    One of the best reads I’ve had and I’m a voracious sci-fi, post apocalyptic (but not zombies) , survivalist fan.

    Mission Earth (novel series) - Wikipedia

    Wide selection below

    On the light reading side more geared toward younger audiences (I read most of the books prior to recommending them for my children)

    Dragon riders of Pern series (teens)
    Rangers Apprentice series (very clean book safe for all ages with good story line)

    Warriors of the Way (high school) Very interesting and different Middle Ages Viking saga

    This way up Cy Frailey

    Big people books

    Rainbow Six By Tom Clancy love the ending as well as others in series

    WEB Griffin WWII Asia, Europe, Korea, some Vietnam era. Detective series. Stay away from William E Butterworth (his son) they are just profane and not nearly as well written

    American Lion by Jon Meacham about Andrew Jackson

    How war came by Donald Watt

    The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman

    Robinson Crusoe

    FoxFire Series

    Jean Auel Earths Children (Great series IF you skip the romance portions that approaches soft core)

    The Memoroirs of Chief Red Fox

    Out of the Jaws of the Lion (Christian missionary account of Belgium Congo uprising)

    Gates of Fire about the Spartian battle at Thermopylae the opening paragraph will put you in awe to understand what the Spartans faced.

    Have read many of the mentioned books. Quick suggestion; Last of the Breed by Louis L' Amour. About a captured American pilot, who is part Sioux Indian, imprisoned in Siberia who escapes and survives across the Taiga toward Alaska. Not an exceedingly in depth read but interesting. Not the usual LL type of book. I enjoyed it.
