    Hi all, looking for some book recommendations please. I don't like books that are too wordy or descriptive. I think I'm really into character driven novels and enjoy a lot of dialogue. Below I've compiled a list of books/authors I've really enjoyed. I'm open to recommendations on any genre based on the list below. Cheers

    The Millennium Trilogy (best I've read) – Stieg Larsson

    I Am Pilgrim & Year of the Locust – Terry Hayes

    Anything by David McCloskey

    The Kite Runner & A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini

    Galveston – Nic Pillozzato

    Don Winslow – Cartel trilogy

    Blake Crouch – Dark Matter

    Anything by S A Cosby

    A G Riddle – The Long Winter Trilogy

    George R R Martin – GOT

    Isaac Asimov – Foundation Series

    Frank Herbert – Dune

      You’ve got great taste – that Millennium trilogy hits different. Based on your list I’d definitely check out Tana French, especially “In the Woods” if you haven’t already. Her dialogue is incredible and the character work is top tier. Also maybe try “The Power of the Dog” by Don Winslow if you liked his cartel stuff but want something a bit different

      Dark tower… Based on your description you can almost just read a summary of the gunslinger and head straight for the drawing of the three
