I'm currently reading Trigger Men by Hans Halberstadt. I've recently finished Roughneck Nine One and Sniper One. Not sure what I'll start this week.


Maybe the book by Michael Durant.

Lone Survivor was good too, but the story of Fearless is just amazing. Talk about overcoming a lot in life through faith!

If you like Lone Survivor, you'll like his other book "Service."

I just started on Lucifer's Hammer.

This is a really good book. It is called, Fetching Raymond. It is by John Grisham.

I am now at 40percent and can not put it down.

I agree. It's my favorite Spec Ops book.

Yesterday, I finished Zane Gray’s Riders of the Purple Sage. I recall reading it in my youth, but at that age, Mormonism was an unknown. I just remembered the book as a good western novel. Recently, it was recommended to me as a study of the immorality of the early LDS Church in its treatment of its own women. It was an eye opener. We continue to see examples throughout our 21st century world of how thin the line is between theocracy and brutality.

I recently read that one based on THF recommendations and loved it.
I just just started The Lonesome Gods by Louis L'Amour. So far it looks like a keeper.

I just finished 'The Last Battle by Stephen Harding' it's about the defense of Castle Itter during the last days of WWII. Castle Itter was a prison for French VIP's. After Hitler's suicide the SS guards fled and the castle was taken over by the French VIP's, some anti Nazi German troops, and a handful of Americans. They then had to defend the castle against a local SS unit wich was seeking to eliminate the French VIP's. The book was OK dragging a little where it set the scene explaining the rivalries amongst the French but was it was a good read. I actually think this could be a better movie.

Im reading "Coronados Children...Tales of lost mines and buried treasures of the southwest" by J.Frank Dobie.You south Texas hunters might want to put down your gun and grab a pick!

Finished several books in the last few weeks.
The Son by Phillip Meyer-Great multi-generational story of a Texas family from the 1840s to present day. Much of it takes place in the 1800s and early 1900s.
The Day the Cowboys Quit by Elmer Kelton-Another very good Western.
The Lost City of Z by David Grann-I was intrigued by the story of Percy Fawcett who disappeared in the Amazon in the 1920s while he was searching for a rumored Amazonian civilization, but I didn't enjoy the way the author wrote.
The Prophet of Smoked Meats by Daniel Vaughn-Really good book about Texas Barbecue joints. I have followed his BBQ blog for a couple of years and this was just a comprehensive look at all the places he has visited in Texas (300+ BBQ joints).
The Hit by David Baldacci-Another good book from one of my favorite crime/spy/thriller authors.

About 8-10 years ago Grisham was my favorite author but I have given up on him now.

Ghosts brigades by John scalzi

Since my last post I have read Huck Finn, The Great Gatsby, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, and the first Harry Potter based on a recommendation from my 7 year old daughter, hahaha.

Currently working my way through Hamlet and the 10 day MBA. Starting an MBA program in August so going to read some business/accounting/statistics books before then. Also, Starting Jurassic Park today.

Author,
Glen S.

You are cheating you are watching the movies

Brandon Sanderson - The Way of Kings (best fantasy book I have read in many years)

Jim Butcher - Cold Days

Just finished a bunch of Zane Gray Kindle books.

Read the Hobbit the other day and wasn't too impressed. Thought it was supposed to be some kind of classic or something.

Started A Game of Thrones yesterday and so far it is great. Anyone read it?

I have read Game of Thrones and loved it. The other 4 books in the series are great too. I am usually not a fan of "fantasy" novels, but I got hooked on the books after season 1 of the TV show.

I didnt think The Hobbit was that great either. A Game of Thrones is 10X better than The Hobbit.

Read the first two now and starting on the third today. Amazing books.
