I guess I was gone during the Get Shorty discussion, but I didn't realize it was based on an Elmore Leonard book.  I rented the movie back in high school and really liked it back then.  I found the decade-later follow-up Be Cool to be okay, but not as good as GS.  

@CatsbyAZ , this belongs more in the TV thread, but you might like the 6-season series Justified, which was based on Elmore Leonard novels.  The dialog between the protagonist, Raylen Givens, and the antagonist, Boyd Crowder, was legendary on that show.  One of my all-time favorites.  

Some authors I really enjoy:

John Sanford (wrote the Minnesota detective series et al.)

Bernard Cornwell (wrote the Last Kingdom series et al.)

Stephen Hunter (the Bob Lee Swagger series)

Michael Connelly (Bosch and the Lincoln lawyer)

This is interesting. Hunter and Connolly have been on my list for a while to start some of their books. When I lived overseas I was probably reading 3-4 books a week and then coming home, starting a business, then kids in the mix and reading dwindled.. Then brain surgery and I actually couldn't keep my eyes focused on a book without getting dizzy for a long while.. Over the last couple months I've been making it a habit to ready 15-20 mins before falling a asleep every night again.

My easiest read has been my starting point with Ben Mezrich and have read a second time now recently bringing down the house, ugly americans, rigged (underrated) and now on Accidental Billoinaires. Was going to revisit some Steve Berry Books, then a few john grishams and then expand out to testing a Connelly or Hunter. Between the two, who would you go to first?
