Books to Read

If anyone else is here that loves to read books. I know reading is difficult for some of us....lol..But  I would think this thread would be good. Post up their book a quick review and what kind it is.(I.E. political,fiction,western,ect...) I will start.

I haven't finished it yet but I have thoroughly enjoyed "the shadow party" by David Horowitz (political)

very good book and explains a lot about what is going on politically with in the dems party. And the BIGGER picture of what is going on. David Horowitz was brought up as a radical leftist and is now shining some light on what their (leftist) plans are and how they are going about it.

Bear,

Is that the Jim Corbet that was the boxer? He boxed around the turn of the century.

Wing master

Bear I seem to go through different phases. I read all of Gresham's books about 6 years ago. Before I got on that kick I read most all of Louis L'Amour books and one series that was about the oregon trail. I am trying to find out the name of the series it was the BEST western I have ever read. I should know what they are tonight. The last 6 years or so I have been into biographies and true life, or history(true) and do it your self books. Some of these are 30 years in dog fighting(I know I will get flamed on this book but I like the history) Sonny Barger's book on the Hell's Angels (just because I knew some and met Sonny numerous times while in AZ) Pat Buchanan's book  The Death of the West , All of Bill O'reilly's books, and I am starting on one of Beck's also. I also have a lot of canning books, cheese making books, sausage books, ect....I am looking for a book on how to make the most out of your land, or how to get the most production per acre of land. Something along those lines.

Oh a must for anyone that like grillings and southwest flavors is anything from Mad Coyote Joe (The Senoran Cook) I got to build his house for him in phoenix (actually Cave Creek) He also had a cooking show their. here is a link to his books http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_0_11?url=search-alias%3Dst ripbooks&field-keywords=mad+coyote+joe&sprefix=mad+c oyote+

Oh I almost forgot about all the Dog books I have on training or Genetics and breeds along with history of breeds and breeding. A lot on American Bulldogs. What a BREED !!

YES! Bear, you have a great book. An Army at Dawn is an excellent book, and the follow-up of the trilogy, the Sicily/Italy campaign is serious reading.

The two parts that really stand out in that book are the Anzio Campaign ( my uncle, a medic was wounded there) and the Rapido river crossing....wow, gut wrenching stuff. I'm really looking forward to the third book, the European Campaign one. Very well written historical account.

Another great book I've read recently is Charlemaigne by Derek Wilson, an excellent and "lively" account of the Carolingian Empire....for those who are interested in Middle Age Europe. Great reading to learn about the everyday life during the times as well as details on what we, today, have much to be thankful for in our societal evolution as well as Western Culture. I highly recommend it. It's a short (200 pp) book but chock full of the details and history of what makes Western Culture the powerhouse it has become as well as providing an understanding of why it is important.

One I forgot to mention that I love to read and need to read more. It is filled full of adventure and great story's THE BIBLE

If you like medieval history, Louis L'Amour's last book Flower Drum Song is very good.  I also like "Below the Salt.

Like most of you I get hooked on authors and start reading them till they die or go sour (too much $$4 and books become a commodity. 16 of Randy Wayne White and he ran out of steam.  Same thing happened to Tom Clancy; Hunt for the red October was great and they started downhill from there.  I stopped after 4 of his.

 

Bear, if you haven't read Clancy's Clear And Present Danger, you might want to give it a try.
