Lee Child is one of my current can’t wait til the next one comes list. Jack Reacher’s take on life and especially the military is hilarious fun to read. If you like him, you might really like Thomas Perry. His Jane matches Jack tick for tack.

I’ve been halfway through Collapse for almost 3 years, I decided I should actually finish it.

Collapse is the best book I’ve read in the past few years. I hope you a) get through it and b) enjoy it. Good luck both with the list and with the novel.

Abba,
I’m glad you found me, and I hope you book mark me and come back, so you can tell me how you’re doing. Welcome to your quarterlife crisis.

It depends on what you’re looking for right now. If you need to commiserate, 20 Something Manifesto is primarily a collection of others’ twentysomething experiences, with Christine’s feedback thrown in. 20 Something, 20 Everything is really more about you figuring out what you want and how to move positively in that direction. There are considerably more exercises that make you take stock of your life, if you’re willing to journal about them. They’re both really easy reads, very conversation in writing style.

Lindsey Pollak has a book called from College to Career that covers all the things you wish someone had told you before graduating. She has a great blog over at lindseypollak.com

Lindsey, Christine, and a third author Alexandra Levit host a podcast called 30/20 Vision at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/3020vision/

You should also check out BrazenCareerist.com
There are lots of 20something bloggers there focused on career and personal development for Gen Y. Sign up for a username; feel free to post in the forum there. People are pretty quick to respond and help where they can.

PS, If not the library, http://www.campusi.com generally finds you your best book deals.
