April 5, 20187 yr Anything Dean Koontz is pretty much a mindless page turner. I find his books very enjoyable. Also John Grisham.
April 6, 20187 yr Have you read World War Z?Other good beach books for me have been The Martian, Ready Player One, Life of Pi, and Lamb - The Gospel According to Biff.
April 6, 20187 yr Author Have read WWZ. Enjoyed it. A friend was reading Ready Player One. It is on my short list. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep 'em coming.
April 6, 20187 yr Behold a Pale Horse (Milton William Cooper)... Planet X, the Sign of the Son of Man, and the End of the Age: Planet X at the Creation, Nativity & Second Coming (Douglas A Elwell)...

Warning for Ready Player One, if you are an above average reader, speed wise, you can finish it in a few hours. While not really apocalyptic per se, The Expanse novels are set in a type of dystopian future and set across the galaxy plus on earth.
April 6, 20187 yr Author Interesting suggestion. Will take a look. Regarding reading speed, I am definitely on the slow side.

September 20, 20187 yr Hell at the Breech by Tom Franklin Historical fiction about class warfare in 1890s Clarke County, Alabama. Crazy shit really happened but the read is outstanding, like well aged whiskey. A first novel but an outstanding one. Also, anything by Nelson DeMille or John LeCarre.

LeCarre via Audible is so damn mellifluous, written precisely for the Brit accent...reads well also. Edited September 20, 20187 yr by noharleyyet

Alien contact and they're coming to take over. It will take 400 years for them to get here. Excellently written on the large and small scales. Not exactly a thriller page-turner, but fascinating and new. Thanks for the rec on I Am Pilgrim. I just ordered it.
September 26, 20187 yr The road is good. I read while on a beach trip. Wool is a pretty good apocolyptic book. Its a little longer though.
September 27, 20187 yr you fuckers oughta know the rules by now. no fucking book talk in the movie room.
