I need a book!
It has been a while since I picked up a good book. I had a favorite author Jefferson Scott - who I was nice enough to email back and forth with once - his first books that caught my eye were the Ethan Hamilton stories, namely the progression from Virtually Eliminated (going to read it again soon) - but the stories are wonderfully written, and not just some “magical computer terms” like the movie Hackers “let’s hack a gibson!” and no spray painted Apple laptops, simple, true, accurate goodies - but the stories tied in Faith to the whole story, tied it into the job, the walk, the day-to-day of the character’s life. Amazing Stories.
Then yet again, he wrote the Operation Firebrand series - yowza! I could put those down, as I heard one was released, I was at Barnes and Noble or CBD placing and order to get it to me, sadly I found myself done in a night. LoL - Re-Read them again this past year in under 3 days - the stories are about a miltary unit that uses non-lethal weapons to carry out, how should I put it, Extreme Missionary Field Work 
but again very accurate, visual books, that in some cases even with just the people you meet in the story, brought tears to my eyes.
Sadly, no other books of the Fiction variety have come from him lately, and who knows maybe one day they will, but I have said all this for two reasons:
- Mr. Scott - I love your books, today as much as I did when I bought them, a massive blessing to me!
- I need more books!
I find myself constantly in front of the computer anymore, with a day-job and a business of my own which keep me busy, a book to burry my head in would be good for a change. I have found some other Christian writers who do decent fiction, but I want fiction, I deal with Real Life enough as is, a blip off the radar from PHP/dBase/MySQL/How-to books, would be a great relief.
So if you have a thought or two, post your suggestions in the comments either here or on Xanga, and let me know if you have ANY sort of suggestion, even Non-Fiction suggestions are allowed, but again a little escape from reality would do me good
That’s it for tonight, I am off to see what these 24 emails are then hopefully passout! Have a blessed Sunday!
