Never really read before...

[New Shoes]

Hey y'all! As you can see, I'm brand new around here. I just thought I could get some help from some of you. I've never really been much of a reader. Both of my parents love to read, but I never really got into it. There have been a couple of books however, that I read and got caught into it. I can see how it would be fun, I just don't know what to read.

I read Da Vinci Code a few years back. I know a lot of people don't like the book from a writing standpoint, but I enjoyed it because of the suspense and action in the book. Any suggestions for that kind of genre?

I also loved the movies Cinderella Man, Pursuit of Happyness, and Invictus. Is there inspirational books like these films that are good to read as well?

[The Butcher]

You seem like the Mystery type.

I have(These are first books in a series,and suspenseful or fun Mysteries,or thriller):
Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Eye of the Storm by Jack Higgins
The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum

I would suggest the Harry Bosch series,but you do not seem like that kind of person.

 

[Lincoln Rhyme]

Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror by Steve Alten is about a badass ex-marine taking on a huge Megladon shark that surfaces from the deep. It's a funny novel,very suspenseful,and full of gore and action.
