Mammon by Robert Kroese, interesting so far.
Also reminded of the Wool series by the very smudged lens on the airliner camera I was viewing on my flight. I did the first book but not the rest. So that's added to the upcoming list. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mPisi: Mammon by Robert Kroese, interesting so far. On vacation so doing a lot of time reading. Mammon turns from a space ambitious financial shenanigans book into a zombie-apocalypse-style economic collapse book, and then sets up the sequels which are combinations of space ambitions to solve financial apocalypse. Generally readable but very current year style, basically a big commentary on current US financial policy taken one step farther. Like many of these books, has some good chains of events, but ignores longer-term higher order effects. Pretty good characters. Overall high-than-average quality for a midlevel author and quick writing. I am reminded of another economic collapse book (but slower scenario) following a family in Brooklyn or somewhere urban? Called Mandervilles or something like that. Now reading Drop Trooper, which has been recommended in this thread or elsewhere on Arfcom, turned out I had the 1-4 omnibus edition already on my Kindle. Pretty good study so far. Like to see that the boot camp segments were pretty limited, that sci-fi genre has been thoroughly mined out. But I am sucker for mech suits. |

Do audiobooks count?
I'm listening to "Another Kingdom" by Andrew Klavan. ETA: I'm also re-reading Huck Finn, because Ben Shapiro is doing that for his Third Thursday bookclub on the Daily Wire website, and I support their purpose, so I'm in that. And because it's not a bit hard to read Mark Twain.

The Accidental Superpower: The Next Generation of American Preeminence and the Coming Global Disorder. By Zeihan.
I am learning more about the post WWII world and where we are headed and why than from any other single source before. This transcends FJB, Russia taking Ukraine (Ethic Russian peoples are failing demographically. The Russian state could very well follow and taking Ukraine, which we will allow IMO, will be their last gasp at exerting any meaningful power ever again in the foreseeable future.), the pandemic, our open Texan border, coming inflation and higher interest rates, etc. It's gonna suck if you aren't in the U.S. |

Finished a great book on McArthur. I had no idea the man accomplished so much in his career. Absolutely amazing.
I was recommended a book called My War Gone By, I Miss It So. I read it and was pretty much lost the entire time. It was written by a crackhead who was also a photojournalist during a few conflicts in the Balkans in the 90s. It was all over the map but I finished it. Next was a book called The Korean war, A History. I was excited to start this one but I only made it 60 pages in. It was painfully written. I tried but I just couldn't get into it so I stopped. Now I am reading a book sent to me by a fellow member. Rock Force. I am approx 50 pages in and I love it. Great book so far. |

Also recommended but it is difficult to follow. Perhaps if I knew more about the geography and conflict. Finished Correia's Bloodlines, pretty good and set up the next one. LOL a few times like usual. Again had audiobook problems, had to d/l it again to get the last couple chapters. My m4b to mp3 converter tends to lose the last chapter or so, and the file names don't always track in the correct order in my truck. So, I'm making huge single mp3 files from now on. After Bloodlines I had been listening to the first few minutes of Jack Carr's Terminal List, which seems interesting, but now that I have the mp3 thing sorted out I am switching back to Stephenson's Termination Shock and then probably Expanse #9, then Marko Kloos's Palladium War series. |

Finished Viktor Suvorov's The Liberators about the might Red Army of the 1960s and starting Heinz Gunter Guderian's From Normandy to the Ruhr. The former was written probably 5 decades ago but goes far to explain the clumsiness of the Russian Army in Ukraine today. Guderian is the son of the famous panzer general and post-war became a Bundeswehr general.

Astoria by Stark.
It chronicles John Jacob Astor's attempted creation of a world wide fur industry monopoly in 1812, centered near the mouth of the Columbia river. I didn't realize how sophisticated the Pacific NW Native Americans were in their economies, social structure, and relative wealth, or the extent of the demand for fur. I recently finished Peter Fonda's autobiography. He was an emotional space cadet who led an interesting life, despite many issues. Kudos to him for making his own way in a fickle business. |

Crushed Code Over Country by Matthew Cole in less than a day and a half.
Great read. At certain times I found myself wondering how much sensationalism and the "axe to grind" was applied by the author to make a point. But there are documented instances that align with what he was saying. Still a page turner, definitely an eye opener, and worth the read. I'd recommend it. |
