I got 99 problems but a book ain't one.

So the genre of book that i prefer to read is more of an action/military kind of book. This is why i like authors such as James Rollins, Matthew Reilly, and Clive Cussler. I think the main reason for this is that they very rarely ever have a slow moment. For example, Matthew Reilly's novel Ice Staion opens up with a massive 60 page firefight in an Antarctic research station between American Marines and French Commandos. Now James Rollins, the first novel of his Sigma Force series, Sandstorm, is quite bulky (about 600 pages i think) but at no point during it is there a dull moment. Between open conflict and archaeological-esque segments the book is entertaining from start to finish. And finally, Clive Cussler's most recent publish in the Oregon Files, Mirage, has action just about every ten pages. I think that just in general if i want to read i want to be entertained. If a book drags on when its not supposed to i'll just put it down instead of finishing it. If i wanted to be bored while reading i'll go read a textbook or even better yet go open up Catcher in the Rye.....
