Just finished “True Grit” and now reading “The H. L. Hunley.”

i’ll probably follow that with a couple of good old Louis L’Amour novels, before I start another history or biography.

I ordered TRUE GRIT for my daughters to read.

I'm currently up to page 170 in BONHOEFFER: PASTOR, MARTYR, PROPHET, SPY by Eric Metaxas and page 139 in WAR by Robert Greene.

Already I can recommend the Metaxas’ Bonhoeffer book. The author did his research and writes well too.

How is the Hunley book? That really was a fascinating ship. Had to do a report about it years ago in high school. It’s incredible to think the sub was actually designed to drill a hole in the side of ships...
