Hello all,
What a great sub!
Would love to hear some recommendations on action and adventure books that preferably have a bit of a literary tilt to them. Upmarket fiction I suppose, though I keep hearing that word without fulling understanding it.
Here are some books to vibe off of, even if they may not fully fit into those categories themselves:
Count of Monte Cristo (original, full length)
Tai-Pan / Shogun
Power of One
Three Musketeers (original, full length)
Patriot Games / Clear and Present Danger
The Merlin Trilogy (Crystal Cave, Hollow Hills, Last Enchantment)
The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings
Bonus points if a recommendation has a good audiobook version.
