As I look around, I see that my home book shelf has taken on a new look.

I now see .exe, .txt, .doc, .zip......instead of the more conventional library I'm accustomed to seeing.

These documents are full of fun and things to do. They also contain more information than I ever thought was available.
But, I still enjoy retiring to my favorite chair and holding a real book in my hands.

I do enjoy the e-books that come in various formats but the feel of a real book gives me an added pleasure to my reading time.

I guess I would call myself a sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, horror fan.
The writers that I pick up most are:

Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins
These two got together to write a great series of books about the battle
between good and evil. The series is based on the Bible's Book of Revelations.
Even if you're not interested in the religious background, I think you'll find
the story itself very captivating. I've just finished the series and really enjoyed it.
The reading is easy and there is lots of action.
I'm referring to the
Left Behind
series
Right from the beginning' when millions of people around the world
disappear, this series will grab and hold your attention. See how one of
the main characters, airline pilot Rayford Steele, must look for his family and
answers. And this is just the beginning.

Stephen King
Probably the leader in the strange horror category.
I have lost lots of sleep thanks to Mr. King.

Tom Clancy
If you're looking for adventure, here's the author to try.
The man that wrote The Hunt For Red October just keeps
pumping out these edge of the seat stories.

Dale Brown
Another good adventure writer. I've really enjoyed his war
adventure stories

Dean Koontz
Wow. Now here's a man that can keep you up at night. His
tales can bring nightmares to almost anyone.

Michael Crichton
I've just recently started reading these books. More like real life than
most books I read. Some of his stories include:
The Andromeda Strain
Congo
Sphere
and many others

Isaac Asimov
An amazing Sci-fi writer. No collection of science fiction books can be
complete without his books being included.

Patrick Robinson
I spent much of my military career on submarines. This writer has
provided me with many good hours of reading books involving submarines
and their crews as the main subject . You'll find lots for action in these books.
