I am new to the blogging scene, so I'm not real sure how this is going to go. My wife is an expert, so I should be able to ask her if I have any questions. I joked with her that I was going to start blogging to and express what it was like being the widower of a blogger!! However, I am going to blog about things that I find fascinating and important to me.
My first blog is about the book I want to read right now. I am really wanting to buy and read the The Gate House by Nelson Demille. A couple of years after getting married, my FIL introduced me to a few authors. Dan Brown, Brad Thor, and Nelson Demille. I must admit that the first fiction novel I read of my own free will was The DaVinci Code. I loved it. I then set out to read all of Dan Brown's novels. I have read three of the four. I still have not read Digital Fortress.
While I was reading Angels & Deamons, my FIL bought me a copy of Nigth Fall. I was hooked on Demille right from the start especially the character of John Corey. I finished the novel in 3 days. I have since read 11 of Demille's 15 novels. It took me over a year to read The Gold Coast. It was a slow read, at least for me, but I plugged away and not only finished it, I really enjoyed it. This is why I really want to read The Gate House. I am interested to see what happens in the life of John Sutter.
Brad Thor is the other author I really enjoy. Of course, I have really only read these three. Thor's books on Scot Harvath is fast paced, intellectual, and most importantly a page turner! I could go on and on about these books, but I will save that for a latter post.
Who are some of your favorite authors? What book is a must read?
Let me know
