Back Story by Robert B. Parker
I started with his Jesse Stone series. Then read all of the Sunny Randall series. Now I'm plowing through the Spenser books. I'm skipping around on them but have read most of the later books in the series, except for the most recent, Rough Weather.
BTW, is it okay to put in a shameless plug here for my own novel, Consequences?

I liked those as well. The third book is The Last Full Measure and carries the story through the end of the war.
Here is my reading list from January:
The Shack - William Paul Young
The Looking Glass War - John Le Carré
Code to Zero - Ken Follett
Freaky Deaky - Elmore Leonard
1 Dead in Attic - Chris Rose
A Small Town in Germany - John Le Carré
Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom
Just After Sunset: Stories - Stephen King
The Book of Lies - Brad Meltzer
How Good Do You Want To Be? - Nick Saban
I've read several good books because of this thread, keep the suggestions coming.
My blog: Mysteries Worth Investigating
And my storefront: Consequences by Merrill Heath (Book) in Mystery & Crime
Thanks.
My Dearest Friend : The Letters of Abigail and John Adams - edited by Margaret Hogan. A very good book that I picked up after watching the HBO series on John Adams.
The Broken Window by Jeffery Deaver
Killshot by Elmore Leonard
In case there are any Dennis Lehane fans browsing the thread, I read The Given Day a couple of months ago and enjoyed it. It is a historical fiction type novel, in the vein of a John Jakes book. A very interesting read, set in the time of the end of WWI, regarding the strike by the Boston Police Department with a little mix of baseball history throw in for good measure.

I just finished Lion in the White House A Life of Theodore Roosevelt by Aida Donald. It is a decent if you want a short bio on Teddy. I would suggest that Theodore Rex is probably a better bio on Roosevelt. I think it was by Edmund Morris, but it has been quite a while and I may be wrong about the author. I am starting Samuel Adams A Life by Ira Stoll. Biographies on Samuel Adams are not very common and I am hoping this proves to be a good read.
The Road - Cormac McCarthy. Either you love it or you hate it. A very dark book to say the least. I can't wait to see the movie which was supposed to be released Nov '08 but got pushed back until sometime in '09.
