Seen a good movie? Read a good book? Please recommend!
There are some wonderful shows on PBS --and on Netflix and Prime. What have you seen that you would love to recommend to others?
And there are so many good books out there too-- both fiction and non-fiction . I would love to hear what some of your favorites are-- and they don't have to be on the best seller list--and they don't have to be "new!" One of the best books I remember reading was "Presumed Innocent,"by Scott Turow, which many of you may have read many years ago. I could go on and on but would love to hear what your favorites are! |

Emily in Paris, on Netflix. My wife and I both like this, so that is saying a great deal.

Or David Baldacci or Harlan Coben

Nelson DeMille, Ken Follett, Steven Pressfield...In my younger years working two jobs didn't allow much time for reading. What kick started my reading again ( and also getting
my children interested ) was reading " Pillars of the Earth" by Follett. |

I'm always searching for a 'good read'...especially these days
in another thread someone mentioned the book "Double Whammy" by Carl Hiaasen. I'm just about finished with it and recommend it to anyone that enjoys a light hearted crime/intrigue story...the setting is in FL and it's the first of an 11 book series If you like realistic spy/intrigue, Ludlum and Clancy wrote some good ones....author Brad Thor is also great, first of his that I read was "The Afghan". Clive Cussler wrote some great ones too...sprinkled with more humor if you've traveled to Greece and the Greek Isles and like murder/intrigue Jeffrey Siger has a nice 11 book series starting with "Murder in Mykonos" Another series of mystery/intrigue that is riddled with humor begins with the book "The Road To Key West" by Michael Reisig...and there are a dozen in this series...my wife keeps laughing out loud when reading these |

Great movie
"Taking Chance" with Kevin Bacon. You'll have wet eyes, especially if you are/were a Marine. I have it on a CD.

Connelly is great. The TV series is on Apple or Amazon which I don't have. The actor playing Bosch is a good actor but I don't see him in the role. Robert Mitchum would be my choice. But I am not in charge and Mitchum is no longer with us.
