I’m watching Oceans 11 and wishing I was reading it. What books will steal my attention? My favorite is The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton. by flunkadelic2 Related: Finally read Fourth Wing Which writer’s complete works/ series you think should be read ? Non-fantasy/scifi fiction novel with a main character who is crafting, building, tinkering a lot e.g. a kid during summer vacation building treehouses, gadgets in his freetime. I’m looking for something that a teenage boy who is into videogames would love to read. Any book recommendations for my kiddos Recommendation needed – something like The Ploughmen
