I guess I won't be doing that anymore:
Clive Cussler, the bestselling author and sea explorer, died on Monday, his family announced in a Facebook post.I always said he couldn't write a woman's role to save his soul, but I loved his books anyway. They featured larger than life characters and were good, clean escapist fun. I'll miss his Oregon Files series. She was a great ship with a great crew.
He was 88...
In his lifetime, Cussler was known for his books about underwater shipwreck discoveries -- both fiction and nonfiction.
He published more than 50 during his career, two of which were later made into movies -- "Raise the Titanic," released in 1980, and "Sahara," in 2005. His books were published in more than 40 languages in over 100 countries, according to his website.
May I suggest you look up Tony Hillerman? His stuff is fascinating and his attention to accuracy led the various Native American nations to name him an honorary member. Also, if you like stories set in National Parks, look up Nevada Barr. If you like slight macabre, look up Dean Koontz. I love his Odd Thomas series. And finally if you like SciFi/Fantasy read Neil Gaiman. Anansi Boys, American Gods and Good Omens are all very British and tongue in cheek.
