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.

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?

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.

All good books as far as I'm concerned.

Hackers by Steven Levy. Talks about the old school hackers from the early days of computing at MIT to the beginning of the digital age in the 80s, with several updates and follow ups since it was first released in 1985.

If by 2/3rds you mean the first 2 books you should read the last one it was probably the best of the 3
