I'm a huge WWJ fan. i've tried to read every book of his i got my hands on, but it's realy hard when your stuck in Iraq. Yes I am in the U.S.M.C and reading WWJ books kept me busy and brought my mind away from other things, my favorit is the "in the ashes"series. I'm also a big fan of WEB Griffin.

Virtually all I read are westerns, my collection contains books from over 260 different series, not to mention the stand-alones. Last count was nearing 4000 books.

Of course I have a lot of Johnstone's books sitting on my shelves amoungst all the others. I've just started reading the Matt Jensen books and am trying to work out who really wrote them.

It's hard to list when you read anything including soup can labels. :lol: Having been raised in a mining camp by poor parents, I was taught if I wanted out of it, read everything I could find. My favorite author will always be William W Johnstone I think. I have great admiration for him with his miriad of life situations. But I also like JD Robb, Clive Cussler & about anybody who writes vampire or other supernatural books!

I read a lot of Johnstone's westerns, I also read a lot of L'Amour, and several of the western series out there, I happen to like the Wilderness series by David Thompson quite a bit. I'll sometimes kill an afternoon with one of the cheesier series books out there like Longarm, Slocum, or Spur, but I tend to steer clear of most of that stuff, because once you've read one of them, you've read them all.

I will admit to having a big love for a lot of the old pulp writers like Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft, and Clarence E. Mulford (the creator of Hopalong Cassidy).

I also like the Mack Bolan and the Destroyer series too.

Plus, I have a bit of an obsession with the writings of Ayn Rand.

I write a lot of short stories myself, I've tried to get a few comic book scripts published, and I've been working on a novel for a little while now. It's a western with supernatural elements, so it fits into that whole pulp thing rather nicely. I'm also a fairly prolific writer of western movie reviews, I've probably been laughed at by a number of people for the large number of reviews that I've written on the movies of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.

What can I say? I'm a pretty avid reader and I always have been.

I just finished reading Conn Iggulden's Genghis series. They were great. Its a historical fiction series about Genghis Khan, and his rise to power. I would recommend these to anyone. Next is his series on Julius Caesar!

Besides the Johnstone books, I love reading anything by Michael Connely's Harry Bosch novels, Joesph Wambaugh's books, and of course, my friend John C. Carpenter's "A Well Regulated Militia"

I read all kinds of books some are work related, but the fiction stuff is mostly western, mystery, thrillers, and spy novels.

I really like the Rig Warrior Series. Barry Rivers is one bad dude. The series is just raw. Rivers cleans the clocks of several goons who try to mess with him. Same with the Invasion USA series. That is one sick series too. It depicts a ordinary American family rallying a town to stand up to evil. Tom Brannon is basically an All-American family man and his wife taking a stand against evil.

Other authors I like to read are John Gilstrap, Harlan Coben, Lee Child (Jack Reacher Series).

Right now I'm re-reading Nathan's Run by John Gilstrap. Gilstrap has some pretty raw stuff too.
