If anyone has read a good book lately, and would be good for someone to read in short spurts, I'd be interested to hear about it. Thanks!

The Good Book . . . especially if you have difficulty getting rest.

Honor Bound by W.E.B. Griffin

Good luck!
If it’s like most hospital stays, they won’t leave you alone long enough to read a book.
I’d just put the TV on CNN and go to sleep.

You mean, besides my “A Patriot’s History of the United States?”

Ok, Neal Gabler’s bio of Walt Disney, “Walt Disney.”

Paul Johnson’s great “Modern Times.”

ANY of the “Pendergast” series by Preston & Child.

And, (course, I’m a guy) anything by Nelson DeMille.

[ObozoMustGo2012]

John Frost’s Pictorial History of George Washington.

I’ve been meaning to read it myself but I was told it’s one of the best bios of GW.

The Bible; start with Genesis.

Re-read Herodotus’ Histories. Perfect for a convalescence!
“Business of May Next’ is an exceptional and pleasant Constitutional history book.

Louis d’Amour “Last of The Breed” is the best adventure novel I ever read. It is not a western, but an international novel about an Air Force pilot shot down by the Soviets and captured to be tortured for information. But he escapes and tries to get out. It is a book you won’t be able to put down so you may miss your sleep.

On second thought...don't read it.

The world on the brink of WWI. This book was a great education for me.

Up From Slavery - autobiography of Booker T. Washington. An amazing, inspiring story. And free download to Kindle.

[Pollster1]

Have you read the diaries of Lewis and Clark?

[2banana]

The Siege of Mecca.

You will understand the ME much better after reading that book.

I’d bet the hospital has free Wi-Fi, I’ve taken my laptop or tablet for entertainment when jugged up there. Get well!

The Old Way: A Story of the First People

[EvilCapitalist]

I’m currently reading “Jefferson and Hamilton, The rivalry that forged a nation.” The Author is John Ferling, and so far I would recommend it to anyone.

Can you laugh?

“Non Campus Mentis”

If not, “Centennial” (Mitchner)

The Sack of Panama is very good. by Peter Earl.

So is The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico, by Bernal Diaz. This book is much longer.

If you have not read Democracy in America by de Toqueville, It is excellent. Not a fast read, though.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

Have you read Matt Bracken’s (our own Travis McGhee’s) Enemy series? I would also recommend Unintended Consequences
