What did you just finish reading?

[purp]

Dune Messiah. Just started Children of Dune.

Echo burning by Lee Child.. Love the Jack Reacher novel's.. If you get a chance check them out..

Enjoyed them greatly, but with Andrew Child becoming more involved, the books have gotten much shorter and sadly, stale and redundant A real shame.

I had a copy of Ulysses in the early 90s but never started.

Thinking about reading it now. Please talk me out of it.

I love Caro! Have made it through the first three of the LBJ series. Curious if you've read The Power Broker?

Wifey, who told me about Master of the Senate and Caro, is now reading The Power Broker, and she says it is amazing. I'm going to dive in.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. Not since listening to Art Bell back in the day.

he's been a coast to coast guest at least twice the past 6 mos,

I intend to read it some time in the new year

White Wolf - David Gemmell. Liked it so much I went and grabbed Legend and reading it now

 

[Toujours Pret]

Part of my journey to making peace with myself, recommended by my kid sister.

Passchendaele: The Sacrificial Ground.


The Second (or Third depending on perspective) Battle of Ypres provides the most enduring images of WW1 to present generations. While Verdun accumulated many more casualties, it is unarguable that any battle in history exceeded the horrors of Passchendaele.

I'm going to snag a copy. Thanks!

If by Sea. Founding of the American navy from the revolution to the war of 1812.

For any hunter out there, or adventure seeker, try reading any of Peter Hathaway Capsticks books. He is a lawyer turned big game hunter and culling officer in the African bush. Fascinating stories and so well written, you don’t want to put them down! Ive read each multiple times since my teenage years.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

The Wager. It's nothing at all about a bet; it's the name of a ship, and a great story of hardship, survival, character and moral dilemmas. Well-written, compelling.

The German War: A Nation Under Arms, 1939-1945, Nicholas Stargardt



A fascinating study of the German people and society during the war through their letters and diaries.

Thanks for the recommendation. Going to add this one to my list.

I love graphic novels and comics, have since I was about five or six, and just wrapped up the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "The Last Ronin" Series. If you like the Turtles' comics, you'll love these.

I read that, great book.

 

[GroverCleveland]

I read that, great book.

If you recall, there was a passage about the wife of an SS officer in Poland and some Jewish children. As you know I have read a ton of military history and seen gruesome photos/videos and the like.

Maybe it is because I have gotten older, but that passage was disturbingly upsetting and really got to me.
