Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch series
Jeffery Deaver - Lincoln Rhyme series

I wish I knew my fantasy hockey as well as I know my literary characters... cheers
The Prey series was one that I was actually considering starting. I need to get more consistent with reading books though, when I was younger I would read all the time but nowadays I tend to buy a book or two and it'll sit on the shelf collecting dust for a couple months before I get around to reading it.

I think that's going to be the next series I start though.

The Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben is pretty good too. I think there's 10 books in the series. Bolitar is a former first round NBA draft pick who busted his knee and never got to play a regular season game. Now he's a sports agent who is also an amateur detective (for lack of a better term). He solves mysteries involving his clients. It's a pretty good series.

Saw the trailer for this... seems legit. You may not like cruise but I think he is ok in these action roles. Although, it just feels like watching mission impossible under a new spy name lol.

Get an eReader . I got a KoboVox lastyear for XMAS, i've read about 13 books this year. It is the opposite of out of site out of mind... since the Vox also is a tablet sort of... wifi, browser, android, etc...

Good subway reading on my voyage to work and back.

Before I got it, I barely read...

I always liked Tom Cruise in these types of roles. I'm always entertained which ultimately is what I'm looking for.

Saw this movie a couple of nights ago, and thought it was pretty good. Cruise actually does a pretty decent job.
