Does anyone have a book recommendation for something light/fun, nothing too serious? -- (edited)

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Sep 21 '15, 06:23

I just finished John Adams so I'm looking for something a little more fun than another history lesson. It was a great book but now I need something more entertaining.

I like the Alex Benedict series a lot. Archaeology in the far future, kinda sci-fi Indiana Jones. -- (link) - Ender Sep 21, 06:45 1

I'm reading The 5th Wave right now (it's pretty good). Movie comes out in January. It's not John Adams heavy, but a bit darker than Maze Runner or - decline Sep 21, 06:32 1
- Interesting, I'll check it out. With digital books I can load a few and see which one grabs my attention the most. - Krusty Sep 21, 06:38
The first Maze Runner book would fit. A quick read but nothing heavy. Currently on the second book and seems the same. - spamlet Sep 21, 06:27 8
- I stopped after the first one -- nm - decline Sep 21, 06:34
- Yeah? Not too easy of a read with it being a YA series? -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 06:30 4
  - It's no Hunger Games but it's not for kids either. Have you seen the movie? - spamlet Sep 21, 06:31 3
    - Nope. I'll add it to the list of books to check out. Thanks! - Krusty Sep 21, 06:34 2
      - if you can find it Thunder Road by Chadwick Ginther is a great read -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 06:35 1
        
        Sounds like an interesting story. Thanks! -- nm* - Krusty Sep 21, 06:40
- This is what happened to me. I read the first two, and just couldn't bear to read the 3rd. -- nm - MDH Sep 21, 06:29 1
  - They're not high fiction but (at least) the first one was enjoyable enough. - spamlet Sep 21, 06:30
The Martian, Ready Player One, Lee Child's Reacher books, Dresden Files -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 06:24 1
- Read it, read it, I'll check them out and I'm not sure Dresden. -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 06:29
