Awesome thread! With a new abundance of time on my hands I can finally start reading again!! I'm going with the warrior poets reading list with a sprinkle of some Jack Carr! Super excited!

Read two Joe Pickett novels last weekend, Savage Run and Cold Wind. I don't think I've read a single one of those in proper order. Each one is completely entertaining and a page turner.
Started World War Z last Sunday night, finished it Wednesday. There were a few good SHTF lessons in there.
World War Z movie is only remotely related to the book. The book is far more horrifying, and IMO, lays out the Covid 19 pandemic in the first 70 pages or so.

I finished



It was a fascinating and very understandable book He really is a gifted writer.

I've also been reading The 39 Clues series with the kids. I love how the authors weave a treasure hunt, mystery, problem solving, history and geography together using kids as the main characters. Even our daughter, who says she doesn't like to read, is asking for the next chapter.

Finally picked up some books, hopefully the start of our own library

For whatever reason, I rarely finish a book before starting another. These three are in the mix right now.

On a Elmore Leonard kick at the moment.
City Primeval is the current read....
Valdez is coming ....Swag ....Stick ...and killshot were recent previous reads.
Excellent writer...many books of his were made into movies.

Finished Ready Player 1 and Masters of Doom. Now starting this: Hoping it will help to explain the twisted, bizarro world I now inhabit (plus I like working on motorcycles).

Love this book, especially the part about "gumption traps". I too work on bikes and installed a Hammer Performance engine kit and new cams last winter.

I was going to read the Koran, but I couldn't finish Allah it.

I recently finished "The Second Most Powerful Man in the World," a biography of Admiral William Leahy. Tuesday, the blog The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War posted an episode on Leahy, so you can go to Youtube for a one-and-three-quarter-hour overview of this admirable man.

Dominon by Tom Holland. Fascinating history of Christianity.
