I was born with nothing,
with hard work and deligence I still have most of it
this week a lot less...must be a hole in my pocket
Now that you mention it I haven't read much of anything lately but recently it's been The rat river trapper, A book by Popcorn Sutton, Ridgerunner a book about Bill Moreland. I have american rifleman magazines going back to the 1920's. A handful of them are always nice reading. Get a kick out of reading about Townsend Whelen's adventures back when he was really really young. That's about all I can think of for now.

Just started in on A Distant Prayer - Miracles of the 49th Combat Mission. About the lone survivor of a downed bomber during WWII, his capture, time as a POW and his escape. He's the neighbor of one of my customers - I hope to meet him soon.
Wild Plants for Survival In South Florida by Julia F. Morton. (out of print)
SAS Guide to Tracking by Bob Carss sent to me from X-mas during the gift exchange here. I think.
And Airboating Magazine
Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides. Should be required reading in schools. Most people don't know how awful war really is. Or they would ALL be on this site learning ...learning.....
Half way through THE LAST CENTURION by John Ringo. Simply wonderful, highly recommend!
It's a military thriller set in a not too distant (2020) but very plausible future where the set of events are easy to believe (don't want to give away the disasters) and the style of writing sucks you right in and doesn't get in the way. (like, say, Patriots...useful but tedious)
Some of you military guys will be able to relate and get a kick out of the way Ringo tells a story and his sense of humor. He made me want to look up some of the weapons he's talking about, like the Javelin, Mk-19, etc. but y'll will know from the get go.
This about the author:
"A veteran of of the 82nd Airborne, Ringo brings first-hand knowledge of military operations to his fiction. Written blog style, he pulls no punches in his description of junk science, bad strategy and organic farming, not to mention all three at once."
I even recognize some of you in the main character!
Outdoorsman's Handbook"

Ordered it before I left for "The Place", should be waiting on me at the city house.
"Ring of Fire"......By Jay Ford Thurston......He is the local author I stop and talk to when ever I'm at the farmers market.
This is kinda a "growing up in a small town stories".....similar style to Patrick F. McManus, writer for Out Door life and Field and Stream.

Enjoying a short intermission from "Survival" type stuff and savoring Nelson DeMille's "The Panther". That genre is usually reserved for vacation reading but I couldn't resist his latest book with the only reoccurring character I really like--John Corey.
Well written and funny...the only problem is, once I finish it. I'll have to wait a long time for his next book.
LOL, I used to be the same way with Stephen King till he pizzed me off with the long waits, and on-line books......
So much for his hard covers......
