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!

Anything by Connelly or Lee Child

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

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

Glad you found some time to read. I agree w/you re: Follett and DeMille.

Thank you, DaveM for your suggestions!

I hadn't heard of that one. Sounds good--I'll try it!

Follett is one of my favorite authors.

"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.
