Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon
Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops, and The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream

Excellent podcast covering some the book.

Last night I finished, The American Sharpe.  It's the diary and letters of an American who was an officer in the 1/95.

Rereading The Aeneid by Virgil.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DS69K5W

Haven't read anything since i finished The Wheel of Time.  Decided to fix that.  Started reading Killing Floor by Lee Child.  Its pretty good so far.

Yankee Samurai by Joseph Harrington. Bought a used library copy that has a protective sleeve over the dust jacket. It’s autographed too.  Almost halfway through.

Red Army Tank Commanders.

Started Asimov.  Robots, Empire, Foundation.  Just finished Robots of Dawn.  All good so far.

Some good reading can be found on PDF at archive.org. For those of varied interests.

Braddock's Defeat.  It's about the Battle of Monongahela (near modern day Pittsburg)

Rereading Hammering Harry Kaufman's classic, The Pennsylvania Long Rifle.

The Earth is Weeping,  The Indian Wars for the American West. Peter Cozzens.

Night Without Stars by Peter Hamilton.

Finished Brad Thor's Spymaster and Christine Alger's The Banker's Wife.  Would be reading Larry Bond's Arctic Gambit, but I accidentally shipped that to my mother instead of The Banker's Wife.

Just started Big Game Hunting by Elmer Keith.

Builders of Empire: Freemasonry and British Imperialism,1717-1927 by Jessica L Harland-Jacobs.
Esoteric Hollywood:Sex,Cults and Symbols in Film by Jay Dyer.

Interrupted my reading to read Roger Ford and Chris Matthews’ T-34 Russian Battle Tank and then Alexander Jefferson’s Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free by a pilot from the 332nd Fighter Group.  You can read either in an hour.  The latter also provides some insights into the Great Depression.

I'm 9 books into the Ranger's Apprentice series. Back to sci-fi next.

Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker

@4v50    I can suggest "Into the Teeth of the Tiger" next.  Same type of story.

Thanks.  I'll add that to my list.

Waiting for Butcher Boy.

Just finished The Present Darkness by Frank Peretti

Sailing Around the World by Joshua Slocum

Our Southern Highlanders by Horace Kephart

The Experience of God by David Bentley Hart.

The Sixteen Trees of the Somme by Lars Myttting  -just finished,   I also recommend Norwegian Wood, by the same author, if you cut/stack/burn wood.

The Shepherd's Life: Modern Dispatches from an Ancient Landscape- just started

Finished Monster Hunters Memoirs:  Saints and just started Desert Hawk by Melvin Ewing.

Just started "Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension" by Michio Kaku

@1afmedic1 - I looked it up on the interweb and found out I have it.  I bought them direct from the Smithsonian and had its Asst. Curator, Don Lopez, autograph one for me and one for my uncle who is a WW II vet and a Korean War interceptor pilot.  RIP Don Lopez.  

Just read T-34 Medium Tank by Mikhail Baryatinskiy.  The best book I've found on the T-34 tank (76 mm gun).

Panzerkampfwagen T-34-747 (r) by Jochen Vollert.  Book covers the use of captured T-34 in German service.   Some were used for anti-tank training, others were converted into armored rail cars, mobile AA platforms, tractors.   There is an interesting chapter on wooden dummy T-34s used for training infantry in anti-tank tactics as well as Reichwehr’s dummy tanks.   Very interesting book.

Just started the Dresden Files.

John Bremerton & Uwe Feist’s Russian Tanks: Evolution and Development, 1915-1968.   Simple book which is a good primer.   I dunno if it’s Soviet propaganda and anyone who grew up in the ‘50’s - ‘60’s knows the Russians invented everything , but the Russians claim to have a one man machine gun tankette, the Vezdekhod, that was built as a prototype in 1915 but rejected by the tsar.  The authors are dubious but include a drawing from Antonev’s book, “The Tank.”

They mention the T-44, but no pictures of one.

THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF GEORGE GORDON MEADE, MAJOR-GENERAL UNITED STATES ARMY

George Meade, The Life and Letters of George Gordon Meade, Major-General United States Army, ed. George Gordon Meade (Medford, MA: Perseus Digital Library, n.d.).

I'm in his Mexican Wars letters. This is a really ironic read, given today's tension with Mexico. He certainly was not PC.

The first and the last, by Adolph Galland

White Mammoths.

Reading Russian Light Tanks T-27, T-38, BT, T-26, T-40, T-50, T-60, T-70 by Mikhail Beryatinskiy. I didn't know some early junk T18 (updated Renault FT-17) was still in use in 1941. Geez, those poor tankers didn't have a chance.

Lt. Col. William Lewis:  Duty, Honor and Country by Ann Oldham.  Lewis led the company down the hill to destroy the Confederate wagon train at Apache Pass near Glorietta.  While the Confederates had won the battle, with their supply column destroyed, they were forced to abandon the campaign.  Lewis went on to fight the Indians and was killed by them.  Fort Lewis was named in his honor.

The Monster Hunter Files

Russian Tanks of World War II: Stalin's Armoured Might by Joseph Page

Catch-22

Finished Outpost by W. Michael Gear, pretty good. Started a few others but nothing grabbed me so I'm back to the Dresden files.

Long update post.  Cleaning out my "recently read" shelf to take to Half Price.  Thoughts below on some that caught my eye as they are going into the box.

Not going to Half Price:

Eagle in the Snow by Wallace Breem.  I've promoted this book before here.  I enjoy this so much every time I read it.  I did finally pick up several of Breem's other books to see if they are as good, they are next on the to-read pile.  I described Eagle in the Snow to my wife as just a very "human" book.  Every character is human and the book feels like real life, with all its good and bad.  If you're at all into historical fiction or Rome then you must try it.

The Dream of the Iron Dragon by Robert Kroese.  Good start to a series, a little rough as a new author finds his feet.

Read and going out:
Fire and Forget - short stories from GWOT vets and families.  Some are good but not as good overall as anticipated.  Many stories were familiar so maybe I had heard this as an audiobook or something?

Artemis by Andy Weir - very lame compared to The Martian.  Some interesting bits but the whole lunar settlement and its economics just seems wrong.  Plus SJW-heavy, not to the extreme but heavily ladled on for mainstream SF industry approval.

Chaos Monkeys - didn't finish.  Maybe would be interesting if I knew anything about Facebook.

Scales on War - Hoping for more.  Just wishlist of "hey, lets have more good infantry around".  Oh, and the M16 sucks.

The Mandibles, A Family 2029-2047 by Lionel Shriver - somewhat interesting SHTF long-term economic collapse novel following several branches of a family.  I thought it somewhat realistic, showing the difficulty of knowing how soon to be mean.

By Russ Schneider, eastern front books:
Seige - Excellent novel, only going because I got a hardback.
Demyansk - another kessel story, good but not as gripping as Seige for some reason.
Gotterdammerung 1945 - again, worth reading but not keeping.
I'm still looking for his Madness without End book.

Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson - average prehistoric novel, nothing special.  KSR gets a lifetime pass from me due to Mars trilogy, but his later books are falling off.

For Steam and Country, Jon Del Arroz - didn't get more than 1/4, stupid and bad writing even for a YA book, which I don't think it was intended as.

Paradise Built in Hell - people's reactions during SHTF.  Interesting but so dry, couldn't finish.

The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O - I am pretty much a Neal Stephenson superfan but I think he had a pretty light hand in this one.  Interestingly written in journal entries and memos from the time-travel bureaucracy.  Would almost keep it but it's a huge book, no space.

Under Fire by Henri Barbusse - first of my French WWI books I tried.  Couldn't get into it.  I mean, I think I'm okay with literary pretentiousness, I like Cormac McCarthy, but I just don't care about this.
Journey to the End of Night - second one, same result.

Oryx and Crake - not sure what all the fuss was about, but perhaps I'm not an SF industry person.

Devices and Desires by KJ Parker - Pretty readable book about a society with interesting technical separations.  Just a bit bloated.  I have the next 2 in the series but they keep falling down the to-read list.

One Hundred Days by Sandy Woodward - recommended here and thank you for that!  Excellent book about the Falklands in particular and combat mindset in general.

With the Old Breed by Sledge - also recommended here, excellent book from start to finish.

Audiobooks recently done:

Edited by John Joseph Adams:
Wastelands and Wastelands 2 - great collections of short apocalypse fiction.
Dead Man's Hand - decent old west supernatural or steampunk stories.  Very good stories were Strong Medicine by Tad Williams, The Golden Age by Walter Williams, Red Dreams by Jonathan Maberry
Apocolypse Triptych - Overcome by SJW, couldn't finish.

John Adams by David McCullough - even better than the HBO miniseries.  My appreciation for Washington and Adams only grows whenever I read about them.  Interesting contrast to today's politics, there is nothing new under the sun as far as shenanigans or insulting your opponents.

Waterloo by Bernard Cornwell - entertaining, not much new

Ghost Fleet - meh, not as good as I'd been told

Torchship by Gallagher - heard it was great, couldn't stand more than 20 minutes.  Perhaps if the reader wasn't the author's wife.  I am really spoiled by great voice actors.

Just finished "Beneath a Scarlet Sky".  The story of Pino Lello in Milan during WW2.  Very good book.
