    James Rollins

    I love James Rollins books and ive read them all including his newest release.



    His books are fiction thriller/suspense but they are highly researched and based on actual history or events that have taken place.

    I was told about James Rollins by a friend and once I started reading him I didnt stop. I read every night before bed, I dont watch much television. I sit with my wife she watchs TV or texts all the kids and I read

    Ive read them all except for the novellas....the sigma series is to me by far the best of his writing they grasped me from the first to the last.

    The link I will provide is to Order of Books, type in an author and it lists their writings in order.
    I loathe starting a book in the middle of a series to me you lose so much of the storyline.

    By "grasped", I think you mean "griped" ... They "griped me from the first to the last".

    Sounds right up my alley. I've been engrossed in fantasy for a few years (always been a fan), but I love action/adventure as well. I just placed a hold on the first two books in the Sigma Force series from the Ohio Digital Library. Thanks for the tip!

    Also, the site you linked to looks handy, I have bookmarked it.

    I read tons of fantasy and scifi...when I lived in the city there was a used book store, with I couldnt tell you how many books...from floor to ceiling and there was just about enough room to walk and there was an upstairs just as full...and the old man had it all Categorized and knew exactly where anything you want was...If you said I want this title by this author he could let you know in 3 minutes if he had it...and NO COMPUTERS...all long hand cursive...

    I used to buy 12 used books at a time, trade them back and get 12 more.

    That's awesome, you don't see that anymore. As a kid, I had a voracious appetite for reading and would prowl every thrift store and yard sale within a who knows how many mile radius. I've always been a frequent library visitor, although these days I mostly do it digitally. I also have a subscription to audible, and almost always have something on my phone I'm listening to.

    When I was a kid, I loved Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn...I read the Tom Sawyer book then the huck finn then the Tomsawyer huck finn books...I was totally absorbed in them

    I went through a period of reading Roman and Greek Gods...the illiad and they odysessy,
    Every read about the god Hector...damn that was a long long time ago.

    Got into Greek mythology in Jr. High, it's fascinating. I actually took a Science Fiction literature class in high school which was a blast. Easiest and most fun English credit I ever got, lol.
