98.6 was oversold to me. I guess my disappointment was partially a function of that hype. Also I didn’t take to the repetitive nature(I understand it's usage as a teaching tool) and humor(which I did not like). I did not say it was a bad text, it just did not appeal to me. But he did have some information that I just did not agree with...but that is probably true with any text.

In regards to Stalag Luft III. Your right about excavations/GPR etc. There was a show about this on cable a couple years back.

Some of the humor was a bit over the top. Not refined and sophisticated like you find around here. Hey, pull my finger....

Just finished "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. He tells a humorous story of his trek up the Appalachian trail. Good book even though he is a bit of a tree hugger, funny.

Reading bits and pieces of "Hunting with the Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia" by a variety of authors and your truly has three published.

Started reading "1776" but have put that on hold as it's a novel, back burner for now.

Just started "Crow Killer" The true story of Liver Eating Johnson, ya'll have watched the movie Jeramiah Johnson. The movie is nothing like the true story. I read this book every Fall, been doing it for the last 4 years. I think I'm the only one who checks this book out of the library.

Also pick up the SAS handbook and do spot checks on my knowledge.

And last, have to read Black Belt mag., something about that Muay Thai Elbow that is just so fascinating.

I read A Walk in the Wilderness as well. Very funny. I am now reading In a Sunburned Country also by Bill Bryson. Excellent writer.

[Riverrat]

I am reading a Fur, Fish & Game magazine, as well as modules of a course I am taking, Accident Causation & Investigation.

I've been reading When All Hell Breaks Loose by Cody Lundin, it's not bad as far as people preping for disaster. Read Lone Survivor and loved it, also Grizzly Years by Doug Peacock, another great book.

Finished 98.6 Degrees (again) - currently reading America The Last Bes Hope by William Bennett, next on the list is Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10.

I read that book last Fall, here's a link to my post.

Great book. Just gave me so much more respect for those who serve our country.

I just finished a Stephen Ambrose book on Eisenhower and WWII.

[crashdive123]

Yep read it. It was a good read that painted an accurate picture.

My next read (maybe listen) is one that I haven't read in years. I just won a "door prize" at a function I was attending and won "The Call of The Wild" by Jack London. The case came with a hard cover copy of the book and 6 hours of cassette tapes. This week I have to travel to south Florida for a couple of days, so I'm thinking the 6 hours of audio will just about be right for the one way drive.

Where can I get a copy of that book? Even if it's a copy machine copy? There must be more than the 2 you and Larry have. Would you at least show a picture of the front and back cover.
