You'd really like the jack reacher novels by Lee Child.
They read very naturally and play like a movie in your mind. I don't read often enough but they're my favorite fiction. You can probably find a bunch at your local thrift store for cheap. |

Atlas shrugged.
It’s an quick short story packed full of action and I am a sadistic bastard. It is an amazing book though. ETA: if you are looking for fun easy reads that are fiction I would consider the Dirk Pitt books. Cliche pulp that is just fun. |

I can't imagine life without reading books regularly.
I wouldn't know where to begin on recommendations. I might suggest The Firm based on you post. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I can't imagine life without reading books regularly. I wouldn't know where to begin on recommendations. What are your interests? Agree. I used to juggle 3 or more but I stopped, and read serially now. And need to find more time for that, if I’m honest. |

I've had to read so many books in college and at work that I don't read anything but ARFCOM and facebook stuff. I'll be damned if I ever read any book ever again!

Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy was a really good story about the fictional start of WWIII in the 80's.
The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum was a pretty good spy thriller. both are a bit dated, but if you read them in the "time" they were written, they are great. |

Animal farm
You can read it in two days (it's a short book), it's dirt cheap, and everyone on earth should read it. |

The Bourne Identity is a good read and very different from the movie.
Little Britches by Ralph Moody, and the sequels. |

Quoted: I'm 44 yrs old and I can't remember reading a book my whole adult life, with the exception of technical manuals - of which I have read many. Any tips on one thats a "can't miss" kind of book? Like a book that is nearly universally well reviewed? I don't want to start out with some kind of shiity book where I am doomed for failure. I like watching movies about planned robberies, clever heists, detective stuff. Not too into sci fi. Sounds like you would enjoy Dan brown novels ( da Vinci code). They are fast pace and an easy read. |

So many great books but for some reason the first one that came to mind is “Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West, written by Stephen Ambrose”

Not sure what topics interest you, but here's a few suggestions.
Non-fiction: River of Doubt (Teddy Roosevelt's Amazon adventures) Historical Fiction: Sharpe's Tiger (start of a series about a British Light Infantryman, beginning in India then the series goes to Spain during the Napoleonic Wars) SciFi: Ender's Game (alien invasion, martial tactics, mind games) Tom Clancy (yup, he got his own category): Red Storm Rising (WWIII Cold War Fiction) Consider audio books if you feel you don't have time to read. Great to do while mowing lawns, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Isaac's Storm. About the Galveston hurricane of 1900. Very good read. I agree. I saw the author on the book show on CSPAN. He was very interesting. I bought the book and read it in no time. ETA Heinlein has many good books. Even the books for young people are a fun read. Asimov is great. What type of movies do you typically like? SciFi, western, murder mystery, etc? |
