Thread: What are You Reading?

The Boys In The Boat

in the middle of Moby Dick, or The Whale

The bible every day!! and just finished Fearless by Eric Blehm.

I just finished reading this one:
Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
by Jon Meacham.

A good read and a fascinating man during interesting times.

Very good choice Birnardo,, I just finished "The Geronimo Breach". Tc

At Home by Bill Bryson...
He writes about the history of his home, a former rectory. In doing so follows how houses have evolved over the centuries.

I'm reading Lone Survivor. My son, who is in the service, said it was an "intense" movie and I wanted to read the book before I see the movie. So far, the book is fairly intense too. It's a good reminder of what Memorial Day is about.

Been too many years since I've read, Cornelius Ryan's, "The Longest Day".

Every time the movie is on, it's a must watch, along with his, "A Bridge to Far".

Excellent choice on both counts. The movie captures the "intensity" of combat realistically when your training and experience control your reactions, at least in my experience.

Both the book and the movie bring home what our Seal teams are subject to on a moments notice. They and all of our fighting men and women are my Heroes.

Civilization by Neil Ferguson.
I am a fun of Ferguson and this is one of his greatest books. A must read if you are interested in economic history and politics.
