Stumpy, I hear you!
One reason I've been scarce the past six months is that I've read every one of Clive Cussler's novels (all 30+ of them), in addition to working full time (and being gone from home 12 hours a day).
In the past, I've really enjoyed Tom Clancy (in fact, I've just reread three of his books).
Interestingly enough, you mentioned Louis L'Amour in a post yesterday, and today at the public library, on the used book shelf (for sale, $1 each for hardcover books), was an almost brand new copy of Last of the Breed. I scored on that one.
I've also read a few John Grisham novels that I've enjoyed.
