I've really been into the memoirs of the US Special Forces. SEALs and Rangers.
Luttrell, Best, Webb, Willink, Babin, Owen The list goes on. There is some crossover, so it is interesting to get a different perspective to a certain event/chain of events. |

Musashi is my favourite book that I have ever read! If you like that you will definitely like the book Shogun as well if you have not read that :)

Just starting 'Operation Long Jump', about the German's plot to take out Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill at the Tehran conference in 1943.
Side note: Was so impressed by Grant's book. Probably the best actual memoirs I've ever read.

I'm bouncing back and forthe between 'Origin' by Dan Brown and 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius.
I can admit that the philosophy in 'Meditations' is just ivory tower for a guy like me, I'd be impressed to reach the level of any of that stuff. The core teachings are very noble. I'd recommend it to anybody as a stoicism primer. |

Food labels.
Other than that, I don't have time to read. The last book I read in earnest must have been about 10 years ago. I do not remember the details, but I do remember well the feelings it left me with. Pirate Latitudes by Michael Chrichton. Or I should say, by "Michael Chrichton." I knew going in that it was published posthumously. I wanted to like it. I was a big Crichton fan. The underlying adventure was Chrichton-esque, but the delivery was very suspicious. It was like an unfinished outline of a story, which was then brought to a minimally publishable state by ghost writers. Since reading it, I looked at some reviews, and was surprised to find so much praise for it. I cannot believe that MC would have intended for this story to be published in its current state. |
