      Yes, yes you do. They are incredibly good. In 30 years I have no doubt it will be seen as a "classic" series. The novellas are pretty good as well, you don't need to read them by any means but they are nice if you want some deeper understanding of a few of the characters or some context to things that happen in and in between the books.

          South Coast by Nathan Lowell (new series 1st book)

          Otto doesn't want it. He wants to be a fisherman. When company policies force unwelcome changes onto his life and threaten even the security of the village, Otto discovers that being a shaman isn't optional.

          Jimmy Pirano is caught between the devil and the deep green sea when new production quotas are handed down from corporate headquarters. Locked into a century of existing practice, Jimmy is forced to find new ways to fish and new places to do it in or face the very real possibility that Pirano Fisheries will lose the St. Cloud franchise.

          Join Otto, Richard, and Rachel Krugg as they struggle with what it means to be the son of a shaman. Cast off with Jimmy, Tony, and Casey as they navigate the shoals and shallows of corporate fishery along the South Coast.

                  The Ghost Ships of Archangel by William Geroux, If you're into WW2 I'd definitely recommend it.

                    I will add that to my list, as I realized when asked for historical books to read, I have a lot of WWII books in my library.

                    Waypoint kangaroo

                    Sci-fi, set in the future, spy has the superpower to be able to open a small wormhole to a pocket dimension. Typically to store items. He is the only one with this ability. Government bureaucracy still exists and his whole department is being audited. Boss wants him out of town as he is not the best at.... Following orders. Sends him on a cruise to Mars as a vacation, murder mystery is only the start.

                    Just finished it. Not the best book I've ever been through but it is pretty good. I'm going on to the second in the series

                        Right now I got a little carried away and have 3 going at once

                        - Methland about how the midwest got rocked by meth and how it ties into industrial agriculture.

                        - the millionaire next door about effective saving/spending habits

                        - no one wins alone is a mark messier autobiography (memoir? Is that the same?)

                          I just started Dracula and I am really enjoying it so far. At first I was turned off to classic literature because I thought it was going to be drawn out and boring but I really like how thoughtful and creative it is.
