In honor of DoubleARon thread on boring books thought we could make a good book list for gun books or fiction...... whatever

Point of Impact by stephen hunter is a good one it's much better than the movie (shooter which was based on the book)

Two books by Harry Combs come to mind.
Brules and The Scout
They are along the lines of several of my other favorites by Larry McMurty -  the books of Lonesome Dove,

I just finished Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab.  It is about a group of British special forces operating behind enemy lines in Operation Desert Storm.  It is a GREAT book.

You can't go wrong with Marine Sniper about Carlos Hathcock.  I don't remember the author, but it's really good as well.

Good idea for a topic. I hate TV and tend to read alot.

-Shadow Warriors by Tom Clancy-informative and interesting

-The Aubrey/Maturin Series by Patrick O'brian-these are the books that the movie Master and Commander is based on, and as usual the books are far better (if you like historical fiction).

-Anything by John Milton

I've heard nothing but good about that one.  Bravo Two Zero is also non-fiction, survival, special forces.

I think that is true of most all books and the movies that come from them.

might as well throw in some Elmore Leonard (all his westerns) and Edmund Burke Richard Steinberg (4 Phase Man),


Ralph Compton has some interesting western series, but they get old after a while, especialy since some of the characters do the same things in several different books, to the point that's it's written word for word the same.
