Just wondered…
I’ve been enjoying Steve Alten’s 1) Meg about a giant prehistoric shark in today’s world, 2) The Trench…a reprise of #1, and 3) Goliath about a sentient submarine(make you think about the morals of nukes, guns, haves and have nots.) 10 years in the future.
Also enjoyed Tom Clancy(Jack Ryan stuff and Mr John Clark, too) and Dale Brown(modern tech warfare 5-10 years in the future.)
I highly recommend Riverine, a book about gunboat warfare in Vietnam. It’s got a different view of the war. Some portions I had to read to others and a few pages that made me dry an eye.
Another great one is Count Luckner: The Sea Devil about the seafaring life of the captain of the last great sailing ship to be a blockade runner and raider for the German Navy in WWI. I may have mentioned this book in a prior post…
Enjoyed 1) Bias(liberal news slant), 2) Losing the Race(how Affirmative Action is hurting blacks) and 3) a book on George Washington(how he was prepared for the different rolls he played in America(forgot the name… maybe George Washington: Founding Father.)
I like books about war(American Civil War, Midway, Normandy, the Chosin Reservoir[Korea]).
Need to read a lot more autobiographies and biographies.
Made the mistake of trying to read the complete Marion Zimmer Bradley Darkover Series. Every book seemed to be about the same thing so I gave it up. People developing a new Talent(e.g., telepathy) and freaking out over it and another cultures way of handling the Talent…and, of course, poor communication…
I want to pick up Ann Coulter’s new book Treason exposing the fact that McCarthy was right and how the Democrats have been trying to destroy the USA for over fifty years. She explains that if the Democrats did what they’ve done lately during FDR’s time they’d be tried for treason.
I ain’t gonna pick up Hillary’s book, cuz I heard part of the audiobook, and she sounds like she’s reading it for the first time! As if she never even contributed to the manuscript!!! Aargh!
I like books that make me think, but not too many that make you read three pages and put the book down to ruminate on the ideas for days before you can read more(knowwhatimean).
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
