Good Reads

Some of the best of the books I have read fairly recently, in no particular order:

• Scorpion Down, by Ed Offley, ISBN 978-0465051854
• Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, by Bernard Goldberg, ISBN 978-0061252570
• The Overlook, by Michael Connelly, ISBN 978-0316018951
• The Good Guy, by Dean Koontz, ISBN 978-0553804812
• Strike Force: A Novel, by Dale Brown, ISBN 978-0061173103
• Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel — Why Everything You Know is Wrong, by John Stossel, ISBN 978-1401302542
• Brother Odd, by Dean Koontz, ISBN 978-0-55-3804805
• The Watchman: A Joe Pike Novel, by Robert Crais, ISBN 978-0743281638
• Rebel Island, by Rick Riordan, ISBN 978-0553804232
• The Darkest Evening of the Year, by Dean Koontz, ISBN 978-0553804829
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling, ISBN 978-0545010221
• The entire Prey series, by John Sandford

This book is probably great if you’re new to Wikipedia. For me, however, it’s practically useless:

• Wikipedia: The Missing Manual, by John Broughton, ISBN 978-0596515164 (Read the review)
