How about Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhythem's series (e.g. The Bone Collector which was made into a movie)? One military book I read last year and really liked was Joker One: A Marine Platoon's Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood by Donovan Campbel

I enjoyed (memoir): Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death and Sleepless Nights in a Surgeon’s First Years by Michael Collins. I'd also read his 2nd book Blue Collar Blue Scrubs: The Making of a Surgeon which is actually set before the first book. The first book was about his intern/residency...

I recently read Fear Itself by Barret Schumacher where the main character's wife can "see" the future.

I moved to Australia as a teenager. English is not my first language. A friend introduced me to Christopher Pike's books and I'd be hooked my murder/mystery/thrillers since. His books really got me interested in reading English books (which were a struggle previously.)

Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder? i have to admit tho, i started reading this book many years ago, and haven't finished yet. i read the library copy, and as i was reading, i thought this is a book i need my own copy to read so i can make notes etc (e.g...

books by australian author Paul Jennings.

i bumped into this website by chance - be patient to load all the pictures. beautiful libraries! i wish i live closer to them all! Librophiliac Love Letter: A Compendium of Beautiful Libraries | Curious Expeditions

sorry don't know... but sounds like an interesting book and would love to know what it is!

I forgot, I read this also - this time it is a daughter/father book, but still on meth. Loss of Innocence: A Daughter's Addiction. A Father's Fight to Save Her by Ron Clem (Author), Carren Clem

I'd read Come Back: A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back by Claire Fontaine & Mia Fontaine - a real life story. Mia was the daughter who was addicted to meth. The book alternates between Claire's and Mia's perspectives. I'd also read Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through...

sorry i didn't have a chance to get back to this thread until now. my first language is chinese. some dennis lehane's books are made into movies (i haven't seen them tho) - Mystic River (have the DVD but haven't watched yet), Gone, Baby, Gone. A new one coming out is Shutter Island which i...

one that came to mind (since I just read it last year) was Obedience: A Novel by Will Lavender. Review on amazon isn't that good, but i thought it was okay. i was after a quick read (and i like murder/mystery/thriller type of books) and not literature type of books so it served its purpose.

english is not my first language either, but my english has improved a lot after i start reading more english books - not the ones the school assigned, but the ones that interest me like murder/mystery :) and i love the tv show 'numb3rs'. one book that came to mind is The Oxford Murders by...

i still prefer the earlier books in the kay scarpetta's series, with more forensic details etc. Scarpetta was just okay for me.

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane * it's on an island :) * the main character IS a detective, but i love the plot * the language/writing style does take some getting used to, but if you're looking for good plot/twists, then i recommend it.

books by paul jennings - he's an australian author.

I enjoy reading mystery/murder (eg Jeffery Deaver, Patrician Cornwell etc), but a lot of times, I easily forget the plot after I read them, since I just read them for fun and not really trying to learn anything from them as I would from a non-fiction book. But Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane...

I am more into the CSI type: I enjoy Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series (have you seen The Bone Collector?) Others I enjoy: Tess Gerritsen (Jane Rizzoli series) the older Patricia Cornwell books (Kay Scarpetta series) Kathy Reichs (Temperance Brennan series) Stuart Woods (Stone...
