Im halfway through The Good Soldiers by David Finkel. It is a great book about the surge in Iraq.


Anyone else have a recommendation on a good book to read?

Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee

African Game Trails- Teddy Roosevelt is an excellent read. Talks about the tribesmen surrounding a male lion with nothing but spears, then closing in.
If anyone wants to swap books pm me, I have quite a few that will end up at a thrift store. Some military, Jack Reacher, etc.

Some great suggestions. My library card is going to get some use. Or my amazon prime membership is.


Also I’ll add Atlas Shrugged and We the Living by Ayn Rand

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearnes Goodwin

Louis L'amour has a lot of good books about the frontier and the old west. Realistic fiction


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

All of Coopers Last of The Mohicans series were very good....

Flags of our fathers is a good one. The bob lee swagger series by Stephen hunter are very good, the first in the series, point of impact, is the book that the movie shooter is based off of. I also like Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series
