I am starting "The Guns of August: The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Classic About the Outbreak of World War I"
“The Passage of Power” by Robert Caro. It’s the latest volume of “The Years of Lyndon Johnson”.
Applied Economics by the great Thomas Sowell
F5 (story of the 1974 Super tornado outbreak)
Up next: David Platt's newest book, Follow Me
Hmmm. you know I bought that book years ago and have never read it? I need to sell it online. Hmmm.
After reading these titles, I bet you guys all went to summer school for fun! I want to read an Archie comic book in rebellion.
Last book bought, The Complete Book of Outdoor Cooking (1970), menus include Tang, Kool-aid and jellied foraged fruit and fish salad, great pictures like a folding table-foodbox-Thermos kit, and how to keep packrats from taking off with your wine opener. Perfect for lazying by the air conditioner.
By the way, we get the Wall Street Journal, and invariable their list of best sellers are mostly conservative subjects.
Matt Bracken!
“Swear To God” by Scott Hahn
Solar Cooking Adventures by Jackass Jill (It doesn't matter if you have a solar cooker, this is hilarious!) 5 stars!!
This summer I'm on a dystopia, SHTF, apocalypse, TEOTWAWKI reading kick. I'm trying to read various types of disasters, and avoiding zombie and vampire books.
77 Days In September/Ray Gorham [EMP] 3 stars
The Remaining/D.J. Moles 4 stars. [Bio Warfare turns people into mean, horrible, altered beings; they're not zombies! 4 books in series so far. US Gov't trains 1 person for each 48 continental state to help survivors of any kind of end of world as we know it disaster to reestablish and survive. I really like this series!]
Collapse/Richard Stephenson 3 stars [Cyber warfare. I couldn't read entire thing, it was too boring. So, I just read the chapters I liked. Those chapters were worth reading. In the end, I didn't miss a thing by skipping the boring chapters. The book was free on kindle. What intrigued me was the hero is an Aspenger's computer genius. That aspect of the storyline is why it got 3 stars.]
Tuskegee Airman/C.E. McGee 4 stars [I was raised in a military family. This man, who the book is written about, is the only base commander whose name I can remember. I always admired him and was thrilled to find this book!]
7 Things You Have To Know About End Time Prophecy/Jack Kelley 4 1/2 star [The book has an awesome appendix with all kinds of cross references. I really liked being able to check out what this author was saying.]
Currently reading: Keepers of Salt/Debby Davis [So far, I like the book. It isn't anything that I expected it to be. The author has researched the historical significance of salt oaths.]
I'm also reading: The End of American/John Price [I have to put this book down and think about it. It's not something I can read at the pool while the kids play. I'm not sure about it yet.]
Five Little Peppers and How They Grew/Margaret Sidney [Reading this to my 6 year old granddaughter. I thought she wouldn't like it because the language is so different than today's; she loves this book!!]
I bought, Resistance To Tyrants, after you recommended it. Thank you!
Another excellent work along the same lines is “Romans 13: The true meaning of submission” by Chuck Baldwin.
If you like the “patriots” genre, try “Feathers on the wings of love and hate I&II” by John Grit. His “Apocalypse Law” series is also excellent. Also “Patriot Dawn” by Max Velocity.
Thank you! I really like Chuck Baldwin.
