| I don't read much fiction any more, just about everything I read is either history or theology. But some of my old favorites are Alan Eckert's frontier historical fiction series, Howard Fast's revolutionary war novels, and Kenneth Roberts' "Northwest Passage," and "Arundel." |

I also adore the Wilderness series by Sara Donati, other favourites are:
Patricia Cornwell - Scarpetta series, fantastic books and I just love the forensic detail.
Nicholas Evans - The Horse Whisperer and The Loop I could read over and over again.
Jane Austen - Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility
Jewel - Chasing Down the Dawn
I have loads of books on Elvis, Audrey Hepburn, Gene Kelly and books on horses and Canada and Alaska that I love to look through and lose myself in.

| There is some really great "stuff" there Rich. I get probably 90%+ of any books I read these days from them. Nothing like seeing TRUE historic events written by the people who experienced it themselves. I've become interested in the trappers/mountain men era, - and what a life they lived. Not for the weak of heart, - but fascinating. ... I would highly recommend giving them or Amazon perhaps a try. |
