In Defense of Food. (I think thats the title)
Survivalist #1

The Story of The Stick in All Ages & Lands translated from Antony Real (1892). Intresting to me because I study all forms of stick fighting and have for many years.
It's that time of the year.
Crow Killer, the story of John Johnston aka Dapiek Absaroka aka Liver Eating Johnson, aka movie name Jerimiah Johnson.
"Masters of Chaos
The Secret History of the Special Forces", by Linda Robinson.
"STAYING ALIVE in ALASKA'S WILD" by, Andy Nault (For the fourth time)
and
"HEMINGWAY on HUNTING" by, Ernest Hemingway
The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
I'm about 25% into the post apocalyptic novel.
Movie trailer: http://the-road--trailer.blogspot.com/
I read The Road recently. I thought it was a pretty good book. Let me know your thoughts when you finish it. I don't want to spoil anything for you. I have not seen the movie, and since I don't typically go to the movies, I'll wait to rent it.Quote:

I'm halfway through reading Secret Agent. The true story of the Special Operations Executive by David Strafford. It's one of those books you can read and re-read.
Just finished off the Nov./dec. Muzzleloader mag.
Have been reading the kids at night a variety of Native American tales. Have to watch it as many are pretty gruessom and have sexual overtones. That coyote.....hmmmmmmmm.......he got around.
One of the little books that I like to read to the kids are the ones from Chick Fila. Always have a good message and enjoyable to read. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is the current.
Ooo another good one FVR is White Fang by Jack London.
made my monthly trip to the University Bookstore and picked up
WildCity: A Guide to Nature in Urban Ontario for $1.99
http://www.amazon.ca/Wild-City-Ontar.../dp/0771085699
plus the latest copy of Wilderness Way magazine
Just ordered some books and they arrived yesterday. Last night I started on Woodcraft and Camping by Nessmuk. Since it was written over a hundred years ago it is a little different in language usage. It really makes you concentrate to try and understand what he is saying.
I also received -
►John and Geri McPherson's "Naked into the Wilderness - Primitive Wilderness Living & Survival Skills
►A guide to Canning,Freezing,Curing & Smoking Meat,Fish & Game by Wilbur F. Eastman Jr.
►Making Native American Hunting, Fighting,And Survival Tools by Monte Burch
I'll bet this last one would be of interest to FVR and Canid if they don't already have a copy.
I haven't really looked at them too much yet, But They all look really Good.

Just finished Ford County-stories-by John Grisham. Wonderful!
On to SuperFreakonomics by S. Levitt & S. Dubner. Even better than Freakonomics. Highly recommend, since it deals with a lot of topics discussed here--I think y'all will love it.
http://freakonomicsbook.com/superfre...rfreakonomics/
Check it out.
Recently finished The Road, and went to the library and picked up Foxfire 5 to learn about blacksmithing and flintlock rifle making. Also constantly referring back to "Where There is No Doctor", since it is so thick that I can only digest it in small bites.
If you like that kind of stuff then try this link. It has a bunch of books you read through and some of the Firefox as well.

its funny this topic came up.
my cousin just gave me a copy of the FM 21-76 army survival manual.
its pretty cool.
Bladen - See if it's the May 2002 version. I think that's the latest one.
nope.
october 1970 lol.
still pretty interesting.
A good site to visit and join is www.paperbackswap.com.
Put a bunch of books up, if someone wants one you ship it. You pay the shipping. Bang, you get a credit for a book of your choice.
Been looking thru the titles, and see a few I have already read, and a bunch I want to read.
Lately, I have been in to forgotten history based novels.
The latest is "People of the Thunder" based on Native Americans 1300A.D.
Lots of culture, weapon types, foods, customs etc, along with some pretty good stories.
Written by W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, both archaeologists, as well as authors.
This is the latest in a series of 16 or more stories starting with the People of the Wolf, 13000 B.C. Paleo Indian era.
As archaeology (in the local society) is another one of my hobbies, this interests me, so I have read them all.
Big fan of S. King, R. Michener, T.Goodkind (Sword of Truth series), L. Lamore, Jean Auel, Lord of the Rings etc. and many others.
Last non-fiction read was the Lee and Hornaby, re-loading manuals.
Q:what are you reading currently A: A porn mag! ......Hey you asked.

"The 33 Strategies of War" by Robert Greene
Not a fan of his, but so far this book has been good.
"Nobody nowhere" by Donna Williams. The autobiography of an autistic woman.
