Well, you do have one as an avatar.
Seriously though. 300+ hard backs, 500+ paper backs and almost 900 e-books. Yeah.... Meow.

Ok, back to lurking I go.

Whatever they are, looks like they'll give you the homogay.
I spy a Michael Crichton on that shelf on the left.

I spy "Clear and Present Danger" by Tom Clancy. Two shelves down from the middle of the cat.

You're both right:
Ignoring the fact that "Homogay" is nearly a double negative. If books cause it, than I have it. (The Janet Evanovich books belong to the wife) I own a few Tom Clancy and everything Michael Crichton ever wrote. And apologies, I'm no photographer.
Anybody know of any other facebook organizations/groups/whatever similar to 'Religion must end'?

I liked the Alexander Hawke series by Ted Bell as well. As a person with some military knowledge, it was hard to turn my brain off for the super unrealistic portions of the books, but they were entertaining nonetheless.
I, too, love Crichton. Timeline is my fave. Red Storm Rising is my favorite of Clancy's. Maybe the best prologue of a military action book ever.
Ever read any Andy McNab? Realistic military/special forces fiction. Good stuff.

For books? I'm also a huge fan of James Rollins (Both sigma force series and stand alone, as well as the co-written books with Rebecca Cantrell, if you're into vampires-not the sparkly kind). And I believe it's hard to go wrong with Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child books. A good one for patrons of this site:

Can't say I've ever read any Andy McNab. I'll have to take a look. Appreciate the recommendation.
I will say I've been on a Robert Ludlum kick lately. Presently working on 'The Matarese Countdown'.
