Summer Reading

I was responding to saur on Sweet N' Saur about books. After writing a lengthy reply I decided to ask you: my few readers what books do you read?

This is my list of favorites:
Robert B Parker's Spenser and Jesse Stone Books.

Dennis Lehane's books. A Drink Before the War was his first and very Spenser like. Mystic River was a big hit. Shutter Island blew my wife away - now she is hooked on him. Can't go wrong with any of his stuff.

I've read all of the Michael Connelly books. The Harry Bosh ones are my favorites. The Poet was pretty good.

The writer I try (and fail) to model my stuff after: Carl Hiaasen. If you haven't read him I'd suggest picking up his early stuff in paperback. He is a very pro-florida, anti tourist and anti development guy.

Nelson DeMille - especially the John Corey books. Gold Coast was solid.

I recently discovered John Sandford and his "prey" series. I've read most of them.

Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas Preston was pretty good. It has a Crichton feel. Preston also writes with Lincoln Child - those books are good reads but really creepy.

The past 6 months I started reading a lot of Florida Authors:

Jeff Lindsay (Dexter Series) the "hero" is a serial killer that kills other serial killers. The books are so twisted they are funny. Or maybe I need help.

Bob Morris - He has two: Bahamarama and Jamaica me Dead - they were OK.

James O. Born - Is a real FDLE cop. I read Escape Clause first and picked up his others.

I just bought two books by Sarasota writer: Wayne Barcomb but I haven't read them.

What are you reading?
