Good books

[JD Guy]

"Unbroken Bonds of Battle" by Johnny "Joey" Jones

A very good read regardless of your political leanings. About the brotherhood of combat veterans and how, despite the obstacles of their injuries they have kept moving forward and succeeded in spite of their apparent "disabilities".

Inspiring.

Woodworkers Guide to Live Edge Slabs by George Vondriska 144 pages printed in 2021 

[PoginyHill]

I've never been much of a book reader; and when I do its non-fiction. Thomas Sowell is my favorite author. The book most I have most enjoyed from him is Conflict of Visions. To me it is a great explanation of the root of what forms our thinking of the world around us. Currently reading the 10 Commandments by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. So far so good.

I just got done with a Jules Verne kick: The Mysterious Island and 20000 Leagues Under The Sea (which I always thought meant they went 20000 Leagues deep, it meant 20000 leagues around under the sea!), both were good and no additional cost with Prime. Unfortunately, I'm running out of the free classics that I have any interest in. Now I'm reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It's too short... I may need to get a library card.

[Raider Bill]

I read on a kindle. If you have Amazon Prime for $9 more a month there are unlimited "free" books.
There's supposed to be a way to get libery books free on your Kindle but I haven't figured it out yet.

   Just read The Guardian from John Grisham. Has been out a while but I missed it and found it in a used book store in Charlotte a couple weeks back. Now reading an old Clive Cussler book I got there too. Both are great authors IMHO. 

[Raider Bill]

Thinking of Danny, We both have re-read Killer Angels by Michael Sharra several times.

Raider Bill & aigheadish, we got a deal in NH that you use your library card and have access to TONS of free downloadable books and audio books.  I think its the Overdrive app-thing? May have a new name, it wants me to update but that is just a problem waiting to happen!  Its all free also

I have two apps, one is hoopla, the other is libby.  They are linked to my library card from the county. 

[aigheadish]

Thanks guys, I've heard there are some newfangled ways to rent books from the library now, I'll have to investigate. 

Raider Bill, I'd be more inclined if it was 3 or 4 bucks a month. The amount of money that Amazon already gets from me is crazy enough!

Dan is that on a Kindle?

It's a ggod deal for me as I read 10-12 books a month

[Dan_Shade]

I don't use a Kindle, it's on my phone.

The libby app may link to Kindle, it has an option to read on Kindle. 

[Raider Bill]

Thanks

Just got Bill O'Reilly's newest "killing" series book.
Killing the Witches.
Started reading it yesterday at 5pm. Was still at it at 4am this morning. Hard to put down.
Bill O'Reilly: Books

I've enjoyed all the books in this series.

[GRANITEstateMP]

I did the Killing Patton book and another one that I can't recall. I liked them both.

Raider Bill at 10-12 books a month do you ever sleep? That's a lot of reading.
I've always enjoyed reading but these days it puts me right to sleep, end up waking up with the book either on my chest or the floor no matter how much I'm interested in it.

Nope, that's the problem I've always had trouble sleeping so I read.
I'd rather read than watch TV.

I tend to spend too much time on either X or Reddit and I'm trying to talk myself into acting on the knowledge that both of those sites are poisonous. I've thought several times, while being grossed out at Reddit, that my time would be much better spent reading, but I've only flipped over a couple times to the book.

I agree, I've not read them all yet but getting there. Finished Killing Patton a few weeks ago and now reading Killing the Killers. 

[Raider Bill]

The ending was quite surprising.
Rereading the entire Sackett series now. 20 books.

[GRANITEstateMP]

Raider Bill, I looked up the Sackett series you mentioned.  I then ordered a copy of Sackett's Land, figure if you like it enough to read it again, I could give it a shot!

[Raider Bill]

Great way to start! If you like good ol mountain man,westerns and family, you'll love the Sacketts.
Nobody does it better than Louis La'amour!
They made a movie about one of the books " The Sackett Brand". Even with Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot it didn't do the book justice.

My office staff bought the whole series for my birthday one year. I'll re-read one or two then read something else then repeat until I've finished it.

Louis L' Amour is my favorite authors I figure I've read 50 of his paper back books I used to get at Walmart for just a few dollars
I was able to buy 10 of his leather bound books but with moving around I no longer have them 

[Raider Bill]

I got hooked on westerns 50 plus years ago. I read them in between more "serious" books.
Remember when they tore the front covers off paperbacks and sold them for a nickel?

[GRANITEstateMP]

update. I have read the first two Sackett books, have the 3rd in waiting.  I put something else between the books just for flavor
