User Profile
My favorite series is Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series. I also like detective and spy stories. I've read most of Mick Herron's books, and all of Robert B. Parker's Spenser stories, including the ones by Ace Atkins. I've enjoyed both of Susanna Clarke's fantasy novels, Piranesi, and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. Neal Stephenson, John Le Carre, Connie Willis, Charles Stross, Michael Connelly and Jo Walton are also favorites. Dave Barry's novel Big Trouble is one of the funniest things I've ever read. My non-fiction interests lean towards history, but I've also enjoy David Cay Johnston's writing, and Chokepoint Capitalism by Giblin & Doctorow.
