Pien | 601 comments I’ll be reading Making History by Stephen Fry
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
And right now I’m finishing The Host.

But what will my husband be reading?? I usually pick books for him, but it’s getting harder to find something. He loves fiction concerning WWII. Thrillers, or just a good story.
Would anyone have an idea what I could pick up for him? He has read all the Philip Kerr novels (try it!) and many other books I found for him. The last one was The boat runner, which I liked as well.
What would you recommend?

Thanks!!!

StarMan (thestarman) | 1942 comments Some suggested WWII historical fiction:
https://www.bookbub.com/blog/2017/02/...

The Man in the High Castle (alt WWII fiction, by the author of Blade Runner)

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America (a world's fair... and America's first notorious serial killer)

Thunderstruck (early wireless technology, an ocean voyage, and a doctor intent on getting away with murder)

If he likes The Walking Dead:

The Girl With All the Gifts (The Girl With All the Gifts #1) by M.R. Carey The Reapers are the Angels (Reapers, #1) by Alden Bell

other random ideas:

The Vampire Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles, #2) by Anne Rice (one of the few Anne Rice books I give 3+ stars)

Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton by Michael Crichton (published post-humously from his files; opinions vary on how good it is, but I thought it was good escapist fare)

Techno Thrillers: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-B...

Military Thrillers: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-B...

These Shallow Graves was such a mesmerizing read. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! :)

P.S I Like You is so cute! I hope you get to read it soon.

Thank you so much! Going good so far. I have 19 chapters left! I'm probably going to work on it after I come home from my aunts house. :)
