I have 5 or 6 books with a bookmark in them, but the one I want to finish is 1984. Yes, it’s my first time reading it and no, I never read it in high school, sadly.

[Colonel_Flagg]

1. The Civil War, Volume II, Shelby Foote
2. The Deadly Brotherhood (The American Combat Soldier in World War II)
3. The Other Battle (German night fighters vs. the RAF)
4. Panzer Commander (The memoirs of Colonel Hans von Luck).

I think my reading subjects may be falling into a pattern. :)

Speak No Evil
by Allison Brennan

[Non-Sequitur]

I just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, “The Greatest Game Ever Played: Harry Vardon, Frances Ouimet, and the Birth of Modern Golf” by Mark Frost. I highly recommend it, and I speak as someone who has never played or watched golf. It’s just a well written tale about good sportsmanship and an underdog winning.

Stumbled across this. Not going to read it. Sorry I didn answer your question.

The Good Citizen: How a Younger Generation is Reshaping American Politics (Paperback)

Russell Dalton uses a new set of national public opinion surveys to show how Americans are changing their views on what good citizenship means. It’s not about recreating the halcyon politics of a generation ago, but recognition that new patterns of citizenship call for new processes and new institutions that reflect the values of the contemporary American public. Trends in participation, tolerance, and policy priorities reflect a younger generation that is more engaged, more tolerant, and more supportive of social justice. <————

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

How come it took me 51 years to discover this great book?

[DustyMoment]

Dan Brown’s “Deception Point” (very good read, BTW) and “Marker” by Robin Cook.

The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom, by David Kupelian

Great book!

[Greg F]

“The Way to Christ: Spiritual Exercises” by John Paul II. It’s a short little book of 13 or 14 sermon’s/talks he gave on retreats in Poland in the early 1960’s to university students while he was a Bishop and before he was Pope. Very worthwhile. It’s interesting to see how consistent his thinking and focus was on many issues for thirty years. I’m not a Catholic but John Paul II was a man that knew God and these talks are straightforward and practical for a Christian.

[shekkian]

The latest issue of American Handgunner.

“Why They Hate” by Brigitte Gabriel

[chesley]

Persian Fire: The First World Empire and the Battle for the West by Tom Holland At $15.95, this book is a steal. Highly recommended.

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

[wastedyears]

What did the Soviets say about that little stamp?

THE DECODED MESSAGE OF THE SEVEN SEALS OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION By David Koresh

Just trying to find out WHY the Clitoid Crime Family MURDERED these people.

[CodeToad]

Jeppesen Aviation Weather.

Technical references are much more interesting to me than fiction.

[Resolute Conservative]

Ouch, I hate reading tech stuff anymore. I went through the pains of learning C#/ADO.Net stuff 4 years back so we could migrate our product forward.

My sympathies to you.
