[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2530160, member: 109862"] I used to read a ton for fun…now im finishing up my masters degree and read on average 300-600 pages a week because i have to so when im not working on that I rarely feel like doing more reading haha. I read a lot of sci fi and mystery. One of my all time favourites will forever be Michael Crichton’s “Jurassic Park” - the famous movie is based on this novel which came first. Both are awesome, but the novel is MUCH darker and more visceral, your skin just crawls in places before anything has even happened yet, the author is able to create an atmosphere of dread and impending doom that makes it very hard to put down. Guy was a medical doctor before he was a writer too so the science part of his science fiction isn’t completely based on imagination only (sort of like how John Grisham was a lawyer before writing books with climactic scenes happening in the courtroom) As for outdoorsy stories, I can’t remember how well written the actual book was but the story, and it’s based on a very true story, “The Mad Trapper” is a captivating mystery indeed! We had to read it in school; didn’t mind at all. If you haven’t heard of or read about the mad trapper do yourself a favour and do so, see what you make of it. [/QUOTE]
