What are you reading these days?

One Second After by Willliam Forstchen. It's a great book about what happens after an EMP hits the US. The book is very realistic and it's setting is in western North Carolina.

I'm about half way though the follow up book.

I'm reading milk cartons to see if I'm still missing

And if you are, you should go find yourself and then notify yourself that you have been located.
It would be epic .

I’m reading super cheesy pulp fiction right now.

ETA - Last book I finished before this was Hombre by Elmore Leopard. You can buy a bundle of his Westerns in one purchase.

Nice!
I’ve never heard of Elmore Leonard but he has a solid library and some great movies and tv shows have been based off of his books. I’m definitely going to check out some of his books.

I’ve got a bundle of Louis L’Amour books waiting for me after I finish up my current read.

I love the westerns by Louis L’Amour !!
My father got me hung on the: when he was alive. He read more than anyone I ever saw ! Always had a paperback book in his hands ! If he wasn’t reading it was working crosswords. I come by it honestly I guess !! 😆

Elmore Leonard started off with Westerns and then moved onto to novels that involved criminals and heists. They’re all very readable.

I remember staying with my brother when I was a teenager. He didn’t have a television or anything. He’d go to work and I would read Louis L’Amour novels.

Nice! I’ve been hitting the second hand bookstores searching for the earlier L’Amour books that have the full cover art. The artwork is awesome on his books (IMO).

Thanks for the heads up!

I checked the Wiki page on Leonard. I had no clue he wrote 3:10 to Yuma (one of my favorite western movies) as well the books that would later become the movies “Get Shorty”, “Jackie Brown” and the tv show “Justified”.

Next time I hit the second hand bookstore I’ll be looking for his books.

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

Pretty dark but a good read

Darkest book I ever read.
