Podcasts
Non-hunting
Someone Knows Something (season 3 is the best)
S Town (fascinating but sad story)
Crimetown (seasons 1 & 2)
Heavyweights (interesting funny stories)
Ear Hustle (interesting stories about prison life)
Serial (all 3 seasons)
Culpable (murder/suicide mystery)

Hunting
There are so many its hard to recommend. It really depends on what interests you. I like learning about improving habitat so here are two of my favorites.
Deer University (best deer hunting podcast, hosted by MSU professors, no BS, science based, straight from the source)
Droptine (mostly focused on food plots, he markets his own stuff a little but mostly sticks to science)

Start with those. I could give a long list of hunting podcasts but you probably already listen to them. I'm interested in hearing what other people like.

CJ Box,
Joe Pickett series.

I just finished this series. I really enjoyed it. I came searching on Rokslide for audiobook suggestions and found my own thread I had forgotten about.

Pretty much anything by Cormac McCarthy. The Road, No Country for Old Men, Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, The Crossing, Cities of the Plain.

One of my recent favorites is Out There by David Clark. It's an incredible story about a morbidly obese, drug addicted alcoholic that becomes an ultra-marathon runner. This guy has one of the greatest redemption stories I've heard. I put him up there with Goggins but he's a way nicer person.

Scars and Stripes by Tim Kennedy is outstanding.

Dear father, dear son by Larry Elder- This is a great book about forgiveness.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie- This is the first book in a three book series. I don't usually listen to fantasy themed books like Lord of the Rings but this series is bad ass. It has some of the most epic descriptions of battles and hand to hand combat. I wound up listening to about ten of this guy's books after this.

Bringing back an old one!

I’ll second the “one Second After” series and Jack Carr.

A little disappointed that Lee Child’s “Jack Reacher” series hasn’t popped up more. The character is great and Childs writing style is fantastic. 20ish books and I’ve loved every one of them. Don’t let the casting of Tom Cruise for the movie roles hold you back…

Plus all are these and the CJ Box series are available for free on ebook and audio thru the app my library uses. I’m certain most libraries are using the same or similar platforms.

I will be releasing an audiobook version of this later this year:

 

[Grecco]

On audible the borrowed world series by Franklin Horton is pretty good. They sell 3 books at a time and there is 11 books total.

 

[juju]

Series I actually listened to all of:
Parker novels by Richard Stark
Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
Red Rising by Pierce Brown

I use hoopla and Libby.

I average about 2-3 a week....I can't list them all......I'm going to keep this thread bookmarked for ideas.

There is not a guy on this site that won't like, "The Old Man"- by Thomas Perry, fiction, a retired spy in hiding....he isn't the Grey man....but he is savvy.

Anything by Michael Connelly, probably my favorite author

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was a gem. Yeah, it's a woman in a mans world type thing...but it's a very good story.

"Once an Eagle" by Anton Meyer is a 5 star book, the sort of a soldier from WWI to the Vietnam war- excellent. It was Jack Carr I think that recommended it.

Remarkably Bright Creatures-Shelby van pelt, it was just OK,

The God of the woods, Liz Moore- mundane missing persons story- meh, pass on this

"1491- New revelations....." interesting but a bit dry historical fiction hypothesizing on the Americas before discovery- it was OK. Did you know the Amazon jungle is really an orchard planted by the ancients?

Wool- Hugh Howey, sci fi and it was good for sci fi

"The Invisible life of Addie Larue", Victoria Schwab, I give it 3.5 stars, its ok

A bunch of Frieda McFadden stuff like ; The Crash and a couple others which were better than the crash. She is a bit dark but tells a gripping story.

The Patricia Cornwell stuff is good. The main character is a pathologist....all of her books are good stories

A couple Kristen Hannah, like "The Women" she tells a pretty good story but more aimed at Women, 3 stars

Some heavier fare which is more on the intellectual side;
I went back and read the 1957 book by Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"- Heavy Dysopian tale that is very long and repeats the premise a little too often for my liking. A classic yes....but not for everyone.

Something different; "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Vergase, its an ethnic tale of growing up in India and moving to Ethiopia for a medical internship, Different, and I really liked it. Vergase's other book, 'The Covenant of Water" is a similar ethnic tale, good but not as good as C for S. Vergase is a medical ethics professor at Stanford, a fascinating guy if you can see him speak.

Skeletons on the Zahara. Now this is one incredible survival story of Boston area sailors who shipwrecked on the coast of the Sahara. Absolutely incredible.
Also, Batavia: another true shipwreck story about a dutch ship in the 1600s and the depravity and survival heroics that followed.

 

[Telford29]

Tier one series, Sons of Valor Series, great books by Andrews and Wilson. Narrated by Ray Porter.

 

[bpa556]

Lonesome Dove series and Cork O’Connor series.
