Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn. Great fantasy writing, really good. Rereading it tonight, no idea how many times I’ve read the whole series. @Rapid Butterfly

Thanks.

Speeding my way thru Kloos’ Terms of Enlistment series. On the third book. It appears audible narration comes with all 5 books in the series if you have kindle unlimited. Pretty rad if you enjoy military sci fi. There are some lacunae and plot / device holes, but I’m enjoying them a lot.

I strongly concur. It's one of the few fantasy series that's actually surprised me routinely. Mistborn is a fantastic trilogy. If you liked Mistborn you'll probably like Night Angel. They are fairly different story lines but the writing and characters are on par.

Les Miserables is a great book. Well worth the effort.

I'm through the first five chapters. So far what I've gotten is the bishop is a pretty darned good guy.

Noted, I'll grab Night Angel next. Sanderson can write.

I read the first trilogy but never got around to the second.

If you’ve got a lot of time to kill (they’re fairly big books), his Stormlight Archive series is outstanding. He’s only three books into a proposed 10 book series so you’ve got time to catch up.

flying out on Wednesday and desperately looking to fill up the Kindle. I've been a big fan of Carl Hiassen and James Carlos Blake, but I've pretty much read all their stuff as far as I know.

Anyone have suggestions in that vein?

I find Elmore Leonard to be a good extension of Hiassen. Hombre is his great western work, Fifty-Two Pickup his early masterpiece, and his later stuff like Get Shorty is like candy.

You might try The Sea Runners by Ivan Doig.
Not the same neighborhood as Hiassen but a good story.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. The "Montana Trilogy" (English Creek, etc.) is a worthy read as well. But about as far from Hiaasen as Cormac McCarthy from Raymond Chandler.

Second one isn't as good, IMO. Especially the first one. It's still a good read, mind you, just not on the same level.
