Books Worth Reading

[Tenncvol]

I use a similar app called Libby. It makes it really convenient to read books. I still prefer a real book. But you can't always find the real book in the library. I've read the Jack Carr series. The terminal list was at the library. But no library near me had the next 3 books so I read them on my tablet.

Another very similar reading app is “hoopla”. I think Libby and Hoopla are tied into your library membership.

"Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman. Excellent, eye-opening book - "...a prophetic look at what happens when politics, journalism, education, and even religion become subject to the demands of entertainment."

Panem et Circenses

He is one of the best. Armand Asante played a great Hammer in I The Jury.

Damn. I thought I was the only one left around that read those.
Can't remember the name, but there was another similar series about a private for hire to gov agencies for a million dollars a job. IIRC, he favored revolvers.

Was he named Holland?

Has anyone read this guy? https://www.biblio.com/carlos-castaneda/author/243
I started reading him in high school 1969.

I remember going into local book store at the age around 17 and asking the owner could he get me "Journey to Ixtlan" by Carlos Castaneda. He said sure without batting an eye. And he did.

Just starting “Out of the Mountains” by David Kilcullen. Any chance you’ve read this one @toddnjoyce?

I don’t think I have. Currently reading Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate. It’s always been on my list, but I hadn’t gotten around to it until recently. Though originally written in 2009 and reprinted in 2011, it really is an eye opener when you put into perspective the political environment from 2016 and on.

I need to read that one also, always looked interesting but never added it to the list.

Got a hold on it at the library

Compromise is overrated. Better to vanquish your enemy and hear the cries of their womenfolk. Yes, democrats are no longer those with an opposing viewpoint, they are the enemy. Statists RINOS are not to be ignored either.

Another option for used books is the DAV stores. I also get some books from the Goodwill stores.

One of the TV channels started a series about Joe Pickett. I haven't seen it yet, but have seen it advertised.

FYI, evidently this will start streaming on Paramount + may 15.

I'am reading a very interesting book called WACO a survivor's story by David Thibodeau.
Very informative when you get to the actual raid on the compound.

Just finished another book by James Patterson....CROSS JUSTICE.

After finishing this book, I have read all of James Patterson...ALEX CROSS..books.

I'm going to check it out and see if the series is as good as the books are.

Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War by Mark Bowden. Obviously, also a major motion picture.

With the Old Breed: at Peleliu and Okinawa by E. B. Sledge. Basis for a large portion of the HBO miniseries "The Pacific". Same can be said of Robert Leckie's, Helmet for My Pillow. More and more I think that the American public (if they even care) remembers WWII as only the world vs the Nazi's while the Pacific campaign gets ignored.

Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam. Basis of "October Sky". The book and the movie differ on key points to keep a PG rating.

I liked it.

John Grisham, I think his Lincoln Lawyer is the most famous.
