Last three books you've read?

[sd375]

Plainsmen of the Yellowstone. Just went back and listened to the 3-toes the wolf episode on 2x until I found it.

I stand corrected. Glad you found it.

I stand corrected. Glad you found it.

Wouldnt have checked the episode had you not brought up the wolf they discussed. Thanks for the help.

Just finished Undaunted Courage, Lewis and Clark.

Before that it was Robby’s Hunting Big Mule Deer and “The Making if the Atomic Bomb”, a great book about science and history.

Before that was Don Quixote and Moby Dick.

Currently working on Long Range Shooting Handbook, Psalms.
I would like to read a good book about frontiersmen and the original mountain men - anyone have a recommendation?

Don Quixote was one of the funniest books Ive ever read, so many characters though so I had to write them down as I went.

Recently read a couple of military history books: Grant Takes Command by Bruce Catton and Crusade in Europe by Eisenhower. Both were really good.

Also read Crypto by Stephen Levy, interesting book how cryptography became not just the tool of governments once the internet came along. Pretty cool since we all use it when online.

The Pawnee Indians- George E. Hyde

Spotted Tail’s Folk- George E. Hyde

Eating the Dinosaur- Chuck Klosterman


It’s hard to do better than Hyde for good honest history about the Native tribes of the plains and their interactions with each other and with Americans expanding westward

And Chuck Klosterman is awesome

Last Of The Breed......Louis L'Amour. Read this one many times....good read
Game Of Snipers......Stephen Hunter
One Minute Out...…..Mark Greaney

 

[Jackal7]

Wilderness Warrior - Douglas Brinkley (great book about Teddy Roosevelt's environmental and conservation policies and ideas;

The Gathering Storm - Winston Churchill (the run up to and opening stages of WWII); and

All the Light We Cannot See - Anthony Doerr (one of the best works of fiction I have read, about two children, one French and one German, through WWII).

 

[Redwood]

Marine Sniper: 93 Confirmed Kills- Charles Henderson

The Reaper- Nicholas Irving

Way of the Reaper- Nicholas Irving

Maybe a little off topic, but I'm interested to know how you all consume your books. Audiobooks, read them via Kindle, or read them via the hard copy? I've tried all these different methods, and I'm a fan of the hardcopy.

I love hard copies as well, but I have 500 books on my phone, it’s so nice to not have 500 books to move, store, whatever. I like to read myself to sleep at night, harder for me to do with a light on also.

Aside from technical work shit, the last 576 books I've read are children's books. I have most of them memorized. I am planning a retirement career as a childrens book author because I believe the secret to success figured out.

 

[Pathfinder27]

Like a lot of you I read American Buffalo by Steve Rinella
Labyrinth of Ice by Buddy Levy
When the Road Ends by Dylan Samarawickrama

 

[Beendare]

Good thread...but if everyone would go back and edit- adding comments- it would be better.

It would be a big help to others to know whether that book you read was any good, what style it is...that type of thing.

On the road I listened to “The Terminal List” by Jack Carr.

(I usually do not read (or listen) to fiction, but the CD was a gift and the story was very interesting and kept my attention. I ordered the Hardback book for my library and the follow up book as well)

Montana Peaks, Stream, and Prairie : A natural history by E. Donnall Thomas

(I was not familiar with the author who writes for a traditional bow hunting magazine but he made everything about the Treasure State wilds interesting, fish species, rodents, big game, wolves, etc)

No True Glory by Bing West

(Battle of Fallujah in Iraq for the USMC, I have enjoyed the authors work before and found he made a convoluted battle flow with personal accounts and a detailed information from all the branches of service involved)

 

[SpookySpectre308]

George Washington's sacred fire was illuminating but incredibly dry. 700 some pages followed up by another 400 of appendices.

Unfreedom of the press was finished in two sits. Very political and poignant in today's climate.

United States of Socialism was a weekend read I thoroughly enjoyed. Wrap things up in a nice little ball for me.

American Serengeti Dan Flores. reading now.

I know this is an old post but the last three books I’ve read are Dennis wintch mule deer hunting legend public land muleys by David Long and whitetail rites of autum by Charles j Alshheimer. Great reads for a dummy like me trying to learn as much as possible anybody else have some more reads to investigate I’d appreciate it

Here’s a picture of these lovely books

 

[SWOHTR]

Some book on military retirement. Educational but a bit outdated.

Call sign Chaos. Mattis does a great job of telling educational stories and summarizes his points nicely. Highly recommend.

Now reading Rinella’s buffalo book, and enjoying it a lot.

Next up is Just Mercy.

 

[Milestone522]

Deer land by Al Cambronne

Empire of the summer moon by SC Gwynne

The Fighting Bunch by Chris DeRose

 

[Sam's dad]

Cool thread.
1. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. Early human history, really interesting.
2. Keith Richards unauthorized biography by Victor Bockris. Pretty predictable but informative. Amazing that guy is still alive.
3. Tactical Fly Fishing by Devin Olsen. Deep dive into euro nymphing.

 

[Ashy Larry]

Maybe mentioned but Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Good god. Emotionally roller coaster, riveting, and just effing happenchance that a world class climber/writer happened to be there during this tragedy. I read it in 3 days and took another couple to process it.
