41) The Well of Lost Plots 42) Something Rotten 43) First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde. More Thursday Next stories. Quite inventive and very entertaining. 44) Last Gun: The Legend of John Selman by Gene Shelton. A novelized account of the life of the man who shot John Wesley Hardin. These were some violent dudes. 45) Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. Captivating alternate history of America's sixteenth president. (Tried to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by the same author, but it was just awful, even though there were some funny scenes.) 46) Thunderbolt! by Robert S. Johnson. The story of air combat in World War 2 by the highest-scoring US P-47 pilot in the theater. 47) Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life by Robert M. Utley. Historical account of the Kid's life. How many of you knew that William (Billy) Bonney was not his real name? His original name was Henry McCarty, but his widowed mother married a man named Antrim when the Kid was in his early teens. A lot of names for such a short life. 48) War Like the Thunderbolt: The Battle and Burning of Atlanta by Russel S. Bonds. Historical account of Sherman's march to the sea in 1864, with great detail about the actual capture of Atlanta. 49) Hellcat by Barrett Tillman. Combat history of the Grumman F6F carrier fighter in World War 2. 50) The Bomber Boys by Travis L. Ayres. The combat stories of five B-17 crewmen from different aircraft while flying over Europe. 51) In My Sights: The Memoirs of a P-40 Ace by James B. Morehead. The author's account of his days as a fighter pilot in a P-40 against Japan and in a P-38 against the Luftwaffe. 52) Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War by T. J. Stiles. Historical account of the life and career of Jesse James.
As you can probably tell, I like US history, war history, detective stories, and the occasional light fluff.
Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
