Another vote for Unintended Consequences. I have loaned it to guys who haven't read a book since high school and stayed on 'em for 6 months to read it. When they finally do, they call to talk about it, full of excitement. I have bought 5 copies because they make great gifts! It is a gun guys dream book in my opinion. There are web sights dedicated to this book.
Another vote for: Patriots, surviving the coming collapse. What a good book packed with info. It seems like everyone in the AR 15.com survival section has read this one. Thanks guys for tipping me off.
1984: Way ahead of its time. How did he call it so well?
Atlas shrugged: Ayn could have made it shorter, but its worth the effort to read. She was a genius.
Alas Babylon: easy read, good post nuke war book.
Stephen Hunters books: outstanding books that will be right up a gun guys alley. I have lost weekends that I had important stuff to do to these books. You can't put em down. They mostly are about a war hero sniper named Earl
Swagger. The writer is so popular that fans have web sights in his honor. "Pale Horse Coming" is one, "Dirty White Boys" and "Hot Springs".
