What are you reading?

[hip shot]

I'm re-reading "Citizen Soldiers" by Stephen Ambrose.

I'm almost done, and will probably re-read a Jeff Cooper book next. I'm going to the Gunsite 150 class in Lebanon in just over a week, and I always try to read something of his before a class there.
Just to get the mind right, you know?

love his books, read his last book before he died. also his sons books dont seem to be as entertaining,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Generation Kill -- Rolling Stone reporter embeded with unit during the 2003 Iraq invasion. I read almost every book I can get my hands on about the military and the war in iraq.

that book is very biased and I thought it sucked. I threw it in the trash so my daughter would not read it

"In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson. A humerous look at his trip to Australia.

 

[paddling_man]

RYP's The World's Most Dangerous Places. He leans a bit to the left but he has cajones and it is an entertaining read.

After having just finished "Lights Out" and "One Second After" I was looking for something along these same lines. Someone a few months ago had posted the PDF version of "Unintended Consequenses". I started but had a hard time getting into this book. I'll finish it sometime, but two nights ago I went and bought "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse" and plan to start on it this weekend.

None Dare Call It Treason.
By John A. Stormer

Written in '64 but still eye opening.

Talks about how since WWII, We the U.S. have been systematicly retreating from the Communist threat worldwide and even how we helped them through betrayal in most cases.

Lately, websites about JavaScript and SQL.

I think JavaScript was created by undisciplined hacks who couldn't stand the idea that real languages made them follow a few rules.

Don't read much but listen to audio books a lot.
James Patterson, Dean Koontz and stuff like that.
Just got One Second After and look forward to listening to that.

Just finished "In the gravest extreme" by Massad Ayoob

Bravo two zero. SAS in the first gulf war. Not bad. Not as good as Lone Survivor, very similar feel.

Yep, JavaScript has always seemed very random to me. One my of least favorite things in life is debugging JS. IMO, libraries like jQuery help, at least from the standpoint of the DOM.

[flagtag]

"Too Politically Sensitive" by Michale Callahan (IL State Police Dept.) about the murder of Dike & Karen Rhoads (Paris,IL) and the false arrest/conviction of Randy Steidl & Herb Whitlock by a corrupt city government and IL State Police personnel. (Yeah, they were set up)

 

[confused89]

"Jimmy Stewart Bomber Pilot" by Starr Smith.

 

[Bill B]

An english translation of "The Cheese and the Worms: The Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller"
It's the transcript of the Roman Inquisitions' trial of Carlo Ginzburg. Kinda interesting, but hard to read. (It's for a history class)
Next I'm reading Holy Feast and Holy Fast the religious importance of food to midevel women. *sigh*
