All time favorite, doubt that it can ever be beat, read it about once every four or five years.

Centennial by James Michener, followed closely by Alaska by the same author.
Was this thread supposed to be about LE books?
Then the 7 book series by Terry Grosz.

Geez!! Where do I start now that I have my Books forum!!
Actually, I've got WAY too many favorite books to list here, but the #1 all time favorite book ever, and it's not even law enforcement related, is...
The Lord of the Rings trilogy!
I've read it at least a gajillion times, read it every couple years just to live through it all again. The movies were excellent (especially since I thought they'd be TERRIBLE!), but the books are where it's at."Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have made a difference in the world. Marines don't have that problem." - Ronald Reagan

With you on that one, Marinepilot. I re-read them every couple of years myself. I tend to be into sci-fi, David Weber and David Drake being two favorite authors.

The Choirboys from Wambough I read a lot of times, Also Rainbow Six from Clancy, But I read all books from Wambough and Clancy, also all novel from James Lee Burke.
BTW, Burke wrote often that his "heros" eat poor boy sandwiches. What is that? Must be something special from Lousiana or the southern states, I think.Evenhand (Cop Movie): You can't be everybody's friend
There are two things I'm good in, the second is arresting people
I'm looking for Drug/Narcotic Unit patches together with DUI/DWI unit patches for a frame in our Anti-Drug-Team bureau
Also looking for Massachusetts Police and US Capitol City PD patches now!

Does Mr. Bourdain have a television show? If it's who I think you're speaking of, Norm, I agree he's something special. Originally Posted by Norm357
