    Neal Stephenson Novels. Most of them anyway.

    Nelson DeMille novels.

    Goodreads is a great site to check reviews and look over lists.

            Way different aside from the basic plot

            But still good movie

            It's just the protagonist is opposite of what he is in the book

                I couldn't get into the border trilogy

                The one with the kid and the horse and the girl he was in loved with at the ranch
                I picked up the first book of the trilogy, All the Pretty Horses, at the airport in Albuquerque. It was the perfect book for a week working at the missile range. Maybe it wouldn't have hooked me like it did if I'd been in LA.

                  I've read a great deal in the course of my life. However, I'm too lazy to sit down and work out a list of my top 20 favorites. On the other hand, there is one book that I've read numerous times in the original Russian and the English translation. By far, it is my all-time FAVORITE on a number of different levels.

                  БРАТЬЯ КАРАМАЗОВЫ / THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV by Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky

                  Thanks to the author of this thread! I haven't read it in quite a while, but this thread inspired me to dig out a copy and get into it again. lol

                  BTW, the classic movie with Yul Brynner is worth watching. It's a good flick with some big names. However, it doesn't even scratch the surface of the depth of the novel. Below is a trailer for the original movie with Brynner and his gorgeous leading lady, Maria Schell.

                    I couldn't get into it, I dont remember any of it now

                    Never bothered with the rest of the books

                    What was the deal with the Horse?

                    What was so special about that horse that everyone assumes his friend (and he) had stolen it?

                      Wait a minute

                      Forget the book


                      Missile range?

                      What missile range?

                      The old decommissioned ones?


                      Please tell me it is new missiles.

                      You were working on missiles?

                      Proof.

                      post schematics and details.

                      I won't tell anyone.

                      I promise i won't give the details to my Chinese handler.
