I do have a friend who is a voracious reader. He must knock out two or more books a day. He gives me lots of suggestions, mostly in the older SciFi and Fantasy genres. He has also flat out given me many books on technical stuff (celestial navigation, ham radio, etc.) My favorite genre would be Action/Adventure. Something that takes me away from normal life. I don't care if it's an alternate world, a jungle adventure, a time travel, a lost underground civilization found, or whatever. I really like James Rollin's stuff. I did have some luck getting suggestions from a simple Google search, "Authors like James Rollins". That turned up a few authors that I did pursue.
I rarely ever re-read a book, but I am currently starting to re-read Subterranean by - who would have guessed? - James Rollins. I'm in a reading slump and hoping that this will rekindle my interest.
A big thanks to everyone who contributes to this thread and similar ones. I benefit greatly from your suggestions, as I'm sure many other people do.
