Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - Book Recommendations

Hey guys,

After finishing book series from Barry Eisler (http://www.barryeisler.com) and J.A. Konrath (http://www.jakonrath.com) I discovered I need some book recommendations - if you guys are up to the challenge! :eek: :p

Preferring to stick with the whole thriller/mystery genre, any of you have some recommendations? Thanks very much!

(BTW, I definitely recommend both series by Eisler and Konrath - Eisler's books are based around a Japanese-American assassin learning who he is; Konrath's books are about a cheeky detective solving crazy crimes.)

And I just realized I completely forgot about the books and movies section! Sorry! :o

Cheers!

Charles sasser's One shot one kill is pretty good. I finished that last week and started on, marine sniper by charles henderson, along the same lines.

If you haven't read it yet, here's an oldie but a goodie- Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith. Easy, exciting read.

Read something by Eric Ambler, father of the modern spy novel.

Preferring to stick with the whole thriller/mystery genre, any of you have some recommendations? Thanks very much!
Recommend any of the Mathew Scudder or Hitman Keller series by Lawrence Block, all Elmore Leonard or Raymond Chandler; for a little more perverseness try James Ellroy especially the LA Quartet (The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential, White Jazz) or American Tabloid and Cold Six Thousand. I read all of Ellroy's books and liked them all except My Dark Places; I like my weirdness to be fiction not biographical.

For great spy novel read The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John Le Carré.

The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton, by Larry Niven. Sci-fi mystery. ("Flatlander" has everything in Long Arm, with some newer stories thrown in, btu they're not as good as the three original novellas.)
