So, what do the movies “No Country for Old Men”, “I Am Legend” and “Into the Wild ” have in common? They are all adapted from books of course. Even “HellBoy” “IronMan” and “Batman” began as comic books. Pretty cool huh?! Let your imagination run wild with the latest Top Ten Books countdown. 

10)  Heading up our list at #10, the New York Times bestselling author Jerome R. Corsi analyzes the life and career of Barack Obama in “The Obama Nation”.

9) Michael Moore, the man loved by liberals and denounced by conservatives, in his first book in five years brings us # 9 with “Mike's Election Guide”.

8) A series of unexplained deaths in foreign hospitals sends a UCLA medical student on a search for answers. Author Robin Cook takes #8 with “Foreign Body”

7)  In this pulse-pounding thriller, a ruthless and cunning Al Qaeda leader must be stopped before it’s too late. #7 is “The Assassin: A novel” by Stephan Coonts.

6) When it comes to thriller writers, one name stands above the rest, Jack Higgins. He’s back with a tale of Power, Death, and Revenge. #6 is “Rough Justice”

5) #5’s "Star Wars:The Force Unleashed” is the official tie-in novel based on the latest blockbuster video game created under the direction of George Lucus.

4) Faye Kellerman's “The Mercedes Coffin” races through a dangerous urban world of fleeting fame and false dreams, making this heart-pumping book our #4

3) Moving up from the #5 spot from our last countdown, the final book in the Twilight Saga “Breaking Dawn” by Stephenie Meyer now settles in at #3.

2)  He may be a #1 bestselling author, but Ronald Suskind’s at #2 in our countdown with “The Way of the World”. A looming look at American national security.  

1) A tale about audacious corruption, and those with the courage to expose it “Smoke Screen” is Sandra Brown's most intense novel yet. That’s why it’s our #1 pick.

In a world that is becoming more and more fast paced and tech obsessed (not that such a bad thing) it’s always nice to take the time to relax and lose yourself in a good book or two.
