Great book! One of the first Ranger books my dad sent me after I joined the Army!

Im currently reading: Decorative Fusion Knots: A Step-by-Step Illustrated Guide to New and Unusual Ornamental Knots by J. D. Lensen. I have always liked tying knots but mostly it was because they kept me safe and alive. These are not as useful but sure are pretty!

I just ordered the Memoirs of Ulysseys S. Grant and the complete works of Mark Twain for my Kindle - both for $.99 ea.

That should keep my busy for awhile.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Mark Twain is amazing, (so is the kindle), Just watched part of a documentary about him the other night, crazy life from nothing to wildly rich to nothing and back. Also smoke about 40 cigars a day!

Currently reading George W.'s autobiography "Decision Points." Written in a very interesting style for an autobiography, focusing on the major decisions he made in office and what lead him to make those decisions. It's an interesting read, and truly shows what the reality of Washington politics is. Also, just started Keith Richard's autobiography "Life" enjoying it as well.

Recently just finished "In Search of Pipe Dreams" by Rick Newcombe, a great book on insight into the pipe smokers industry and a lot of focus into high grade manufacturers. I read through it in two days. Was a nice, interesting read. Recommended if you have an interest in that part of our forum here.

Finished "Decision Points" by George W. Now onto "Life" by Keith Richards.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Not sure if I should post this here or in the "What are you listening to" thread but I just finished "City of Thieves" which I very much enjoyed.

I just started an audio book called "Hunger Games"

The girl with the dragon tattoo trilogy. These are great books. I am on the last one. The girl who kicked the hornets nest. I highly recommend these books. you won't be able to put them down.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I thought this was a great book as well. Rare Smoke: The Ultimate Guide to Pipe Collecting is not a bad book either but mostly if you are interested in old pipes. Confessions of a Pipeman is another pipe book I flew through reading.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I read through 2/3rds of the trilogy I just couldn't get into it. :sh

Re: What are you reading?
 

Maybe the best military history book I've ever read. Grant really describes military logistics and tactics in a way even a layman can clearly understand. He admires and respects courage and fighting spirit. And he shows many instances where a failure to press the advantage through timidity or uncertainty can cost a victory. But he makes it clear that getting to the decisive zone with the most trained men, food, and ammunition usually makes the difference between victory and defeat. And even the bravest and most spirited force or commander can be destroyed by a more numerous, better armed, or better placed enemy. It was never so clear to me before reading the memoires that a battle can be lost because of muddy supply roads or starving horses or failure to keep backup ammunition close to the front. Maybe it's his experience as a quartermaster that gives him that emphasis?

Re: What are you reading?
 

I bought four more copies of this after I read it and gave it as gifts to family and friends. My copy is out on loan now. I've never looked at food the same way since reading it.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just started the first book. Slow start but I'm a quarter of the way through it and it's starting to pick up.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Don't give up on it. It will get MUCH better as you get into it. All three books really are a great read. Its a shame the author passed away. I read there was going to be a series of 10 books in all. After I finished the last one I was kind of bummed out that there was not another in the series to read.

Started reading Machiavelli. Interesting read. I think Vonnegut might be on deck, or Fountainhead by Rand.

Re: What are you reading?
 

A great book - even better IMO than his "Blind Watchmaker"

Re: What are you reading?
 

Read the first two and I'm now 2/3rd through The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. Enjoy the plots and characters. But, it's still hard to cope with all the Swedish names.

The Fountainhead is one on my all time favorites!!
