From the AllAluminumTour blog:
Similarly to the thread on music, I'm looking for help on books to
read and books to listen to on this long, long trip. Since this list
is intended to help me, let me tell you a few of the things that i
already have covered.
Patrick O'Brian--still can't believe he died on me. Thoughtless of
him. I consider him to be one of the best writers in the english
language. I have numerous full sets of his Aubrey/Maturin books,
including everything on tape.
Bernard Cornwall--got everything, waiting for him to write more,
though I've only tried one book on tape as a download from Audible.
Didn't really like it, can't say why.
Rex Stout--hey, the trailer is named Nero. Rex has been gone a long
time, I think I've read every word he published, and got most of them
on tape.
Hemingway, Robert Ruark, Peter Capstick, Peter Mayle--got 'em, read
'em, perhaps too many times. I'm waiting for my memory to go
completely so I can enjoy them all fresh and new.
Science Fiction--I'm a little burned out on the genre, the result of
50+ years of voraciously reading the great, the good, the OK and the
really crappy. The last good SF book I found was Vernor Venge, "Fire
Upon the Deep" and even he couldn't repeat the depth. I've read
David Weber's stuff, but I always feel a little stupid slogging
through the formulaic dreck. William Gibson seems to have quit
writing, Neil Stephenson is on autopilot.
My particular likes are historical fiction, science, anything to do
with cars or motorcycles, the occasional detective stuff, anything
hemingway-esque. Maybe that's the problem, I need to consider some
new directions. What are you reading, what do you love, what books on
tape are particularly great. I note that the reader is important for
books on tape. Who'd have thunk that Bert Reynolds would be a GREAT
book on tape voice, even though he can't pronounce "library".
