My brother just gave me two books by James Lee Burke. He's not a very well known author, at least in the reading circles I talk to. I've recommended two books. Crusader's Cross and Swan Peak. They are stories in a series about a detective named Dave Robicheaux. There are a ton of books in the series. Start at the beginning because they build on themselves.
Both of these stories are murder mysteries, both are excellent. These books contain everything, murder, sex, scandel, etc. I've read Patterson and he's good, but I think Burke is better. I'd recommend these books to anyone and everyone.

I'm also reading David Halberstam's The Education of a Coach. It's about Bill Belichick. I'm not a fan, but I often wonder what makes the great one's so great. In reading this story I see Bilichick is fueled by an insane desire to be great and know I know why he's so off putting to the media. I needed a break from Burke so I stared this one and I'm enjoying it.

Happy reading everyone.

I love Biography's. I've been reading undercover stories of late, two on ATF operatives who infiltrated motorcycle gangs and one on a Navy Seal who spent an amazing 6 days on the run from the Taliban in Afghanistan. Nothing more entertaining and true life stories

How in the world do you have time to read? Are you one of the vampires from the Twilight series?
