- "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke.
I usually can't read a book after seeing the movie or show, but the BBC version was so good and I read reviews that they left out quite a bit. The book definitely had a lot more detail, and was even more entertaining.
- "Flash for Freedom" by George McDonald Fraser.
A part of series of historical fiction starring Harry Flashman, a cowardly degenerate who always ends up admired and revered by all around as a hero. This one is set amongst the 49ers, the Battle of Little Big Horn, and more.
- "Neverwhere" By Neil Gaiman.
Fantasy novel about a regular guy in London sucked into a magical "London below". I thought it was clever writing, and the audiobook read by the author was surprisingly good.
- "One Second After" by William R. Forstchen.
Post-apocalyptic novel about the effects of an EMP attack on the USA.
- "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank.
Another post-apocalyptics novel, about conventional nuclear attack on many sites in the USA.
- "Cibola Burn" by James S. A. Corey.
Part of the Expanse Series that has been made into a show on SyFy. These books aren't page turners for me, but overall they are entertaining enough.
I want to plug the series "V Plague" by Dirk Patton if you're into post apocalypse stuff. Linguistically it might not be brilliant but I've not been stuck in a series of books like that since Harry Potter as a kid. They take about 4-5 hours to finish per book.
