Mack Bolan "The Excecutioner" - Don Pendelton. It is a series of novels that started in the Vietnam era and if you know Marvels The Punisher you know the story. Marvel pretty much ripped off the whole thing. It is an ongoing with a novel coming out every other month to this day.
Able Team, Pheonix Force, Stony Man - Don Pendelton. Basically the the JLA/Avengers type team books. Most of the teams are based around The Excecutioner or founded by him. Still bi-monthly, so you get a Bolan solo book and a Bolan team book every month.
Remo Williams "The Destroyer" - Warren Murphy. Another ongoing series mostly action based. Remo is a government agent thought dead but secretly trained in Sinaju which is pretty much ninjitsu by mentor Chiun. It is full of action, globe trotting adventure and the best part is the interactions between Chiun and Remo. That little Chiun is lol funny.
WH40K - Because of off the charts brutality.

An ex gave me this boo. She was one of those types who cinsidered herself and her friends smart. Sadly, it reads like a child's story. She is intruduced tp philosophical concepts and given some explanation ... hen suddenly her inner workd and the real world start to cross over.

I liked it a lot. Seeing NY through his eyes at that time was cool since its my home town.

Didnt like the gay stuff. The scene with the cop at the motel really grossed me out.

Not as bad as the majority of fantasy you see on the shelves like Shanara. I read all his books. They may get repetative but he draws out characters really well and you feel you know them quite quickly. He is not bad or great, better than middling

The first Clancy I read was Rainbow 6 and I was hooked. Fun military, spy, techno thrillers. Whats not to love right.

James Bond - High Time To Kill - Raymond Benson.

Not a structure. A plane crashes in the Himalayas with some important info. Bad guys and good guys race to the top.

That expanation works. How about the witches?

Im really enjoyin it so far. I am also reading one of the Aunts Ghosts novels too so I will not finish them both till at least Thursday.

Thanks for the clarification. Another thing I didnt get is the witches. Are they real witches as I assumed when they give mothers who just gave birth to thrm, or are they whores since the leader f the guild thought of seninf Severian there to score.

Also the memory thing. On one page its all I have photographic memory and a few pages later he cannot remember the face on the coin.

I started reading this a few dys ago because of the constant theads. So far it is very good. I am up to him arriving at the inn after the scene with he guards. Its fun so far, Severians photographic memory is not a real thing, he forgets things quite often and even admits he is not very educated so I take him saying he has total recall as him havin a good but not quite perfect memory.

I love the descriptions of tech from him too. He does nt understand it so his descriptions are very general. The citadel seems to me an old space ship raher than a castle with hs talk of engine rooms and such.

It does get a lot better. I got the first two books at once and read them in one go. In this one you start in the middle of the war on one of the battles and are introduced to a bunch of characters. The characters are thrown at you because it all converges at a fancy garden party. Soldiers, spies, ninja, wiches, etc all end up here. We see people from all sides of the conflicts and learn their motivations and by the time you get there you know who is there o blow shit up, assasinate a specific person, steal something of great importance ... or in the case of one spy, find the info and get outthe city before it all goes down.

I think of it as one of those old screwball comedies like Whats New Pussycat where you meet characters but the centerpiece is when everyone arrives at the hotel at the end.

Dalton is the closest.

Great idea and I would love reading it. I am not too verst on Hellraiser but why not make them deamon princes? There seems to be quite a few in the wh universe, even some of the evil primarks become deamon princes.

You do not need the puzzle box. A ship standed in the warp can get damaged and land to find itself in the labyrnth. The humans desire to escape can be all the motivation the cenobites need.

I would suggest you learn more about cars n general before you try to writethem realistically. Ian Fleming has some of he best car chases and car scenes as a whole. In the novels Bond is descibed as a competent enough driver to race. He knows cars and it coms across. He writes hese scenes with James' beloved Bently, lovingly describes its appointments, its power, sound, how the chassis sounds and flexes under hard driving, how it corners gracefully or slews hard, how it is the last left of his family willed to him by his uncle. Goldfinger's Rolls iz acharacter to itself. The loaner cars Q offers Bond are well described in their attributes and weaknesses (Aston and Volvo) and why he prefers his own Bently.

I suggest reading both Goldfinger and Moonraker for good, plot drivn car scense that are well written, fit in to the story and are plot points not info dumps.

Terry Goodkind's Sword Of Truth series is pretty objetivist. First few books are more fantasy.

Denny O'neil's original run on The Question.

All John Lecarre.

Rainbow 6 by Clancy. Damn action packed and moves at a great pace.

I like the concept. The Doc Savage and Tarzan were good but are te only ones I have read.

This guy again. I love the John Gardner who wrote the James Bond novels in the 80-90's. This is a whole other, much more lame Gardner.

No. TTSS is part of the Quest For Karla trilogy. It continues in The Honorable Schoolboy ans Smiley's People. Lecarre is one of ky favorites ever. The Russia House, The Tailor Of Panama, Absobsolute Friends and The Constant Gardner are also great. I think The Tailor Of Panama is one of the more interesting character studies ever. An entire cast of liars, who are caught up in a huge plot and in their lies. John does so much with dialoge it's sick.

Loved all of them so far. Met Terry at a seech/signing in NY for Wee Free Men.

Needs more Rincewind, Moist Von Lipwig and Carrot.

Self defence. Galt talked about that in the speech too.

I read way more on my tablet than I do in print now. Pplus it is great to have that kany titles riht there available. Friend remommends a book, has the pdf, easy transfer.

Did Pitman 2000 style short hand for a semestr in high school. After the first week wich cobered the alphabet I was almost always confused. They had strokes that stood for words and these.flowing strokes could be cmbined to form sentences which looked crazy and everyone else in the class could read but me. It was basically a system of strokes and dots replacng comon words and and an alphabet. Like there was a stroke for a word like "charge" then there were strokes for ing, ed, and on and on to build words.
