‘The Wolves of Alaska: A Fact-based Saga’ by Jim Rearden.
Alaska’s wolves are the main characters in this historically and biologically accurate recounting. Included are vivid anecdotes about wolves, with descriptions of their behavior and way of life, examples of their intelligence, expressions of appreciation for their charm and beauty, as well as an honest look at their savage efficiency as predators and relationship to urban and rural Alaskans. 2002m paperback version, used.
Paris 1919 - what the post-WWI peace negotiations were and why they failed;
The War That Ended Peace - her take on why the war started. Not as detailed in events as Clark's The Sleepwalkers but better on the people involved.
A new UFO book—highly recommended for veterans of the subject as well as newbies:
In Plain Sight—Ross Coulthart
My wife just finished “Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors” by Tom Bower. She recounts the most interesting parts for me.
I read “Your Career in Comics” by Nordling, and “The Mandibles” by Lionel Shriver”. (Mark Steyn has a good interview with the authoress.)
The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest
Fascinating book! Well written! It amazing how far ‘sophisticated finance” goes back into history. The Wall Street “Masters of the Universe” wouldn’t be able to teach their Sumerian equivalents anything other than how to use a computer!
Here’s the Amazon link.
Not really liking it but.
Love Thy Neighbor - Peter Maass
Previous which I would recommend
Out of the Mountains - David Kilcullen
Since May I have read over 50 Barbara Cartland books. Yes, they are romance novels, but they are a clean form of escape/relaxation. TV bores me. I can read one in under 2 hours, usually.
I usually have several going at once:
Mark Twain — “Life on the Mississippi”
George Byron Merrick — “Old Times On The Upper Mississippi”
John Steinbeck —”East of Eden”
Sigrid Undset —”Kristin Lavransdatter: The Wreath”
This thread.
I am reading “The Gulag Archipelago”. I can’t believe I have not read it yet. Just want to see where we are going if we are not careful.
If anyone is interested, my latest murder mystery was published in May. It’s gotten some good reviews, and good reader feeedback as well. It has an interesting slant on press bias as the amateur sleuth/novice reporter solves a murder while scooping the competition. PM me and I send you the link. I’m also looking for someone to review it for publication in a conservative venue.
Jane Hawk series by Koontz.
I picked up to read ‘Thomas Reid-Inquiry and Essays’, but ended up setting it aside to read ‘Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All Is Lost’.
I want to learn more about Thomas Reid and his ideas but I guess I will have to wait for that mood.
Need an escape from politics for now.
By the way, that's 4,200 pages of reading across five volumes.
Just finished Is Atheism Dead. About halfway through The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger.
Magazines I read regularly : Backwoodsman, Primitive Archer, Fur, Fish and Game, Wonderful West Virginia, Virginia Wildlife and American Hunter
