I love nelson Demille. His style of writing is sure catchy. I read one on a whim when I found it in a ships library when looking for something to read. Got into it and now own all his books.
Also read Clive Cussler.. but I must admit, I dont like all of his series now, some of them are just a bit, too, uh, yeah.


Currently.. I am reading compressor and caterpillar manuals. And getting headaches. lol.
