Rebel Yell by S.C. Gwynne.

It’s a biography of Stonewall Jackson. Fantastic.

WAR OUTSIDE (Monica Hesse).

So far, I’m enjoying it, good young adult novel, but I’m leery of any wokeness (i.e. weak fathers).

Reading "Farewell to Arms" (Hemmingway).

Just finished "Battle for the Falklands" by Hastings and Jenkins - excellent detail on political angles, logistics, individual units and tactics. Highly recommend to history junkies.

Also reading Bear Attacks Their Causes and Avoidance by Stephen Herrero as research.

Rather anthropocentric, but Herrero has had enormous influence.

Swan’s Way by Proust. It’s slow going but I’m determined to finish it and see what all the fuss is about.

Pure escapism ! .. Stuart Woods books. They are ok but he does mention his liberal leanings once in awhile

I’m reading Deep Nutrition by Catharine Shanahan. Second time through. I think I understand only superficially what’s being communicated; now I’m trying to learn it in a way I can communicate it to others. Got me off vegetable oil for sure, I already didn’t eat much sugar.
