The most interesting book I've read lately was The Great Understander: True Life Story of the Last of the Wells Fargo Shotgun Express Messengers by William W. Walter.

It's the fascinating story of the life of a kid who is abused at home, so he heads out to the old west and bounces around. I love it for the reality. It has a religious ending which is ok, too. The ending is separate and does not color the rest of the book, so it would be interesting for all.

A Patriot's History of the United States, by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen

It's a great book, and a book which can be easily read. It is chock full of interesting facts and anecdotes most people have never heard - including myself, and I consider myself somewhat of a history buff.

Most school teachers wouldn't like it, though. It doesn't have over half the page space covered with useless pictures and it takes a dim view of the Progressives who have been destroying America for over 100 years. It also calls them out, chapter and verse.

This is a must read. I bought 5 extra copies and plan to give them as Christmas presents to all my adult children and my sister-in-law.

Let’s see- just finished the latest Dresden Files novel, “Changes”, a book on vikings, one on D-day, one on the inventor of the Erector Set, A.C. Gilbert (a fascinating man), various and sundry old magazines that I pick up here and there (Popular Science and the like, preferably from the forties and fifties, Fine Homebuilding, woodworking mags- anything about making stuff), and I’ve just picked up Red Storm Rising for a re-read.
Oh, and the other day I read “S**t My Dad Says”, which was very entertaining.

Yeah- I read a *lot*.
