All of tom Clancy`s early stuff..i think his later stuff is a bit meh. Top recommendation ATM is John Scalzi`s Old mans war. really gripping read and very original. also anything by Raymond feist.
Plus the usual stuff like playboy .razzle fiesta and the other stuff.
but in between all of the early Viz stuff when I don't need to think

God damn it, should have been Hugh Cook.Did a mod edit my post? I'm sure I didn't write that. 😐Sadly the books didn't sell well, so his plans to make a 60 volume epic ended after the 10th book. Don't worry, the story isn't incomplete.He died from cancer 10 years ago. 😞The books have cool things like the villian in one book is the heroe of another book and you get to see their side of the story.

Kojack I agree Allen deen Foster has some great novels.
I still have splinter of a minds eye which he wrote to be Star Wars episode five until the change to empire.
It reads more like fan fiction now.
He ghost wrote the novelisation of Star Wars, it was credited as written by George Lucas.He also wrote novelisations of tons of scifi movies. All the Alien ones, a bunch of Star Trek, etc.He's got around 134 novels at the moment.I really liked the Dancing Gods series by Jack L Chalker. It was a spoof of many fantasy tropes. It's set in a world where all of the laws of reality were written in a library of rule books by wizards. Why do medicines taste bad? Because some time in the past a wizard wrote that as a rule in one of the books, forcing it to apply to the world forever. A rule can't be removed once written. It's a great series.His Gods Inc series is great too. It's about two private eyes that get involved with parallel realities.Soul Rider started off fascinating, but by book 2 it had turned into body transform fetish porn so I never finished the series.If you want amazing artwork and a fascinating storyline (although the artwork is the primary focus), get Simon Stalenhag's Tales From The Loop, Things From The Flood and Electric State. SO GOOD.

Daemon by Daniel Suarez was amazing (the sequel was good too, but not as ground-breaking as the original). Don't want to give away too much of the plot, but you should definitely check this. I listened to the audiobook, and the narration was good. May go back and read the two on Kindle, it's been years since I first listened.
Tea from an Empty Cup by Pat Cadigan. Classic cyberpunk, VR related, worth checking out.
Vurt by Jeff Noon. This is a weird one, really weird, but an engaging read.
Under the Amoral Bridge by Gary A. Ballard, also VR related cyberpunk. 3 part series.
