“Friday Night Lights”.

I received it as a gift because I’m a fan of the tv series. Hesitated over the book as I assumed it would be more like the movie which I didn’t like nearly as much as the tv version.

Book is very different - more of a documentary. Too much racial/sociology crap - seems dated, but it is 20 years old.

Now reading Courage and Consequence and am waiting for new thrillers by Daniel Silva, Brad Thor and Christopher Reich.

[Quix]

In addition to Scripture . . .

Paola Harris’

CONNECTING THE DOTS . . . Making Sense of the UFO Phenomenon.

And after that one, her last one.

I don’t think the folks she interviews have it all figured out. I think they have been deluded by the enemy’s forces. However she covers a lot of territory and is a top flight interviewer.

Just read most of the novel GRAVITY CAN BE YOUR FRIEND (It can also get you killed)

A novel about police training in space.

Just finished Henry Wright’s

FEARS OVERSHADOWING YOUR LIFE—a very excellent book I’d buy for everyone, if I could.

There are some others but those are the ones I’m remembering off the top of my head.

by Remote Viewer Lyn Buchanan.

"Walking the Bible" by Bruce Feiler.

Written in an engaging style. Fun and educational.

I am reading Radical Son by David Horowitz. In the last year I have read Witness by Whitaker Chambers and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, recommended by similar thread that asked people to recommend the 10 Must Read Books.
Thank you for asking the question. I now have many new books to add to my Reading List. First up is Starve the Monkeys by Tom Baugh and Conflict of Vision by Thomas Sowell. I think I need a speed reading course!

I really enjoyed Son of Hamas. There was so much to learn from that book.

I am finishing up Prince of Darkness by Robert Novak on Kindle. I wish he were alive today to be writing about Obama. He writes about his life and experiences with the reporters and politicians he met during his life. Well worth the read.

Today I bought Karl Rove’s book from WalMart for about $16. The first several chapters were really good. He had a really difficult life growing up. I have a new appreciation for him. Looking forward to finishing it.

Nazi Officer’s Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust

by Edith H. Beer

[Auntie Mame]

“36 Yalta Boulevard,” by Olen Steinhauer.

I read his book, “Bridge of Sighs,” which is a tour de force, in my opinion, and plan to read everything he’s written.

Just finished Great Cases in Psychotherapy (Wedding & Corsini).

Before that, John McPhee's Coming Into the Country, an excellent book on his travels in Alaska.

Just starting Up Country- Voices From the Midwestern Wilderness.

I just finished “Pops”, Terry Teachout’s recent biography of Louis Armstrong.

It is a very nice book about an amazing man. I really feel like I understand him now.

Just received and started reading James McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" on the recommendation of mac_truck.

After reading through comments on a recent thread regarding the Civil War, I decided that my public school education left me embarrassingly uninformed on the matter and now its my summer project to educate myself.

If anyone else has any more recommendations on Civil War reading, I would appreciate hearing them.

Hello and thanks for asking! I’m reading “Mayflower” by Nathaniel Philbrick who also wrote “In The Heart of the Sea” which made my stomach ache because he describes some atrocious cannibalism that occured back in the day. He does great historical research and brings the early Americans alive. IMO. Thanks for the thread.

I'm reading Harold Bell Wright's "The Calling of Dan Matthews." It was written in 1909 by an author thought to be the first American writer to become millionnaire-rich solely through popular fiction novels. HBW was very, very popular in the early 1900s, but intellectuals considered his work "trash." HBW ignored his critics, was loved by "the masses," has pretty much always been ignored in university literature classes ... and stated openly and often that his books were nothing more than sermons to spread the word and spirit of Christ.

Ronald Reagan wrote to HBW's family to tell them that one of HBW's books, "That Printer of Udell's," which Reagan read at the age of 9, had a profound influence on his life. I wouldn't be surprised if Clint Eastwood's "preacher" from one of my favorite flicks of all time, "Pale Rider," was at least partly inspired by HBW.

I am enjoying the book immensely.

I don’t have any books going at the moment (unusual for me) but Amazon just emailed me that my copy of “Changes” (Harry Dresden series) and “Save the Cat” (a screenwriting book) are on their way. I imagine I’ll devour the Harry Dresden book in 24 - 48 hrs, and then work on the other.

C. J. Box's Nowhere to Run comes out today. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's possible a couple of characters might be trying to go Galt . . . or are they? I'm not sure this writer is all that conservative. See what you think.
