I love this thread and look forward to it- but it always leaves me wondering...where are all the stupid, incurious, illiterate and uneducated conservatives? ;)
Just finished “Medium Raw”, by Anthony Bourdain, “The Lion”, by Nelson De Mille, and “The Long Road to Annapolis: the Founding of the Naval Academy and The Emerging American Republic”, by William P. Leeman. I saw that someone was reading “Six Frigates”. Great book, by a first time writer, too. A few years ago, I picked up a copy of “The Yard”, the story of the building of a destroyer at Bath Iron Works. Cost overruns, dlast minute design changes, labor issues- Not too much has changed in the intervening 200+ years!
It’s amazing to read the sheer variety of books/subject matter on this thread, and then be called a Conservative Knuckle Dragger by supposedly more well-read members of the Lamestream media!
