Finally getting a break in 2 weeks and plan 7 days of sun, beer and a few good reads. Looking for something fairly fast paced, easy reading for by the pool. Not looking for classic literature just a good bit of entertainment. Any recommendations.
 
There's been a recent thread about this on here. May be worth looking it up. The Kindle version of Sam Snead's "Education of a Golfer" is very entertaining and Ben Hogan's authorised biography is one of the best golf books I've read.

Done most the Jack Reacher books unless anything new has come out in the last few months. Also read all of the Dan Brown books. Should be some Andy Mcnab ones I have not read as not picked anything of his up in ages. Used to like a good Tom Clancy of Clive Cussler as well. I used to just pick up 3 or 4 random paperbacks but the shops are wall to wall womens books and riffs on 50 shades of grey these days. Not my thing.
 
One of the best books ive ever read is a book called Watch My Back by Geoff Thomson , bout a guy who faced his fear of conflict by becoming a bouncer , it appealed to me coz i do door work , but its serious and funny and violent etc but its based on his life
 
Darren Clarkes Autobio ?

Dream On by Jon Richardson

Any other bios
 
Chris Ryan books are easy to read & plenty of them (like McNabs they can be a bit samey. I mean why is it always the goat herder who blows their cover!)

But good for lying by the pool
 
I'm not a prolific book reader but I did get through Harry Redknapps autobiography a couple of weeks ago and quite enjoyed it
 
Try Bateman (he used to be called Colin Bateman before dropping the Colin). Really fast paced, clever story lines and bags of Northern Ireland humour.

Chris did you happen to check your pockets after to find some cash had gone missing? Wonky has mastered how to make money disappear ! Greg iles to the op with mortal fear, type in the poet book also from micheal Connelly.
 
If you are after fast paced then The Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffrey Deaver is a good one. Start with The Bone Collector and then move through them.

Also the Rebus series by Ian Rankin is superb, but you need to keep track of who is who. The Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo is excellent. Also as Sandmangent has said, Michael Connelly is good, his Bosch series is mostly very good although the recent ones are a bit formulaic. Also his Micky Haller series is very good.

He spends a lot of time explaining that he doesn't understand business, doesn't know how to work a computer and isn't financially savvy!!!
 
David Baldacci, particularly:
Camel Club Series
King and Maxwell series

Second te recommendation for Watch My Back by Geoff Thompson, excellent book that started an entire genre of biographies of shady hard cases. It hasn't been surpassed by any that followed it.
