What are you reading now. (If the Bible or the Constitution, what else are you reading along with it?)

I’m reading the other Dune books by Frank Herbert.
I really enjoyed Dune, so I figured give the rest a chance.

[Leaning Right]

I’m reading “All Creatures Great and Small”, for the second time. It’s nonfiction, written by a British vet. But it’s really a book about people more than one about animals.

Not an exciting choice, just borrowed an updated version of a book I read before from the library, The Four Pillars of Investing by William Bernstein (a personal finance/investing book)

tl;dr Wall Street isn’t your friend, use index funds

For the past year or so I’ve been into Amazon’s Audible, lot’s of free books to listen such as the Bible, Count of Monte Cristo, Sun Tzu etc. As I walk at least an hour a day it a pleasure listening, also by listening I discover things I missed when I read the book.

I’m currently reading “The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith, but I could recommend “James and Dolley Madison: America’s First Power Couple” by Bruce Chadwick. I mentioned it a few days ago on a thread about which was the best First Lady.

To the Ends of the Earth, Rites of Passage - William Golding. I found a used copy. Just started reading it.

The Toxic War on Masculinity by Nancy Pearcey has helped me to clearly state why I believe what I believe regarding marriage, family, roles and responsibilities.
Man is to be the first in the family to forgive, love, humble himself, lead,... (One of the many truths that make me think.)

Two excellent recommendations: “Rape of the Mind” by Merloo , and “They Thought They Were Free”. The Merloo book is about mind control and was written by a psychologist who lived in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. The latter is about interviews with German citizens post WWII and how they tolerated the rise of Nazism and survived the Third Reich. These books provide real insight as to what is happening now. I know a guy who said he couldn’t finish the Merloo book because it terrified him. They should be required reading for anyone who considers themselves to be enlightened.

I'm very picky and extremely critical of most books. Makes it hard to find a good author. My pet peeves:

Repetition - keep repeating facts we already know. Keep dwelling on how someone feels.

Overly descriptive - “the expensive draperies were made in China from brocaded cotton damask in a mostly green Paisely pattern tied back with matching gold braided silk cords...

Most female characters - they are always in power and have authority, kicking ass and never wrong. Meh

Anything woke - the minute the author tries to take a dig at conservative values, I ditch it.

Rarely do I find a book that keeps me going to the end.

Everybody should read and understand Lord of the Rings. If you’re not reading that at least every five years, you are failing to really educate yourself politically.

I just started Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life.

I do love these book posts; I usually read some of the recommended books here.

I am reading the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. The books are totally separate from the TV series

Walt and Vic are to Wyoming as Leaphorn and Chee are to New Mexico

I’ve temporarily sworn off non fiction

I just finished reading "Castigo Cay" and "The Red Cliffs of Zerhoun" by Matt Bracken (Free Republic handle Travis McGee). These books are the first two of a trilogy with the third book due to be available in a few months. I also read his "Enemies" trilogy a long time ago and need to reread them. About 100 pages of each of these books can be read at his website https://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/.

My attention span is so limited I can only read as much as a long FR title. Then I’ll comment twice as long.
