What are you reading?

Finishing up James Holland's WWII book "The Battle of Britian". I like his style of writing, not just from the military point of view but from the political and, importantly, civilian point. As an amateur historian, the book fleshes out things I did not know about production, conflict within governments, political intrigue, etc. His first book on WWII "The Rise of Germany" also highly recommended.

My next book, "Leaders Eat Last" should be reviewed this summer.

I hope you enjoy.

Driver - As I age (we all do), I am becoming more interested in Yoga and remaining flexible. Can you provide a brief summation of the book?

Impossible to make it brief, but just think of it as the ultimate Catholic guide to properly ordered human sexuality.

Not Catholic, did go to grad school at U Dallas (Catholic) so I will get the book. Probably a while before I can review it. Thanks.

Finished "Leaders Eat Last".

Summation: Practice what you preach and Lead from the front. Sadly, I have learned from many managers, what not to do.

Just started Ghosts of Honolulu. Co-written by Mark Harmon (Actor).

It deals with the run-up to Pearl Harbor and a Japanese American spy catcher and a Japanese spy, both in Hawaii. So far, so good.

Some of my favorite books (Millard’s River of Doubt, Hampton Sides’ Kingdom of Ice) can be described as stories about bad camping trips.
Started my latest foray into this particular genre yesterday:

Once I determined this was not about a weekend in Vegas, I began to enjoy it immensely.

Funny.

I forgot about Killers of the Flower Moon. Read the book but have not seen the movie. Book is highly recommended.

Haven’t seen it yet either. I was a bit concerned that the movie wouldn’t live up to the book, but Scorsese films are a good bet to come through.

LC,

Glad you found the thread.

While I disagree with his view of Trump, I recommend Ryan Holiday - ryanholiday.net.

He is a voracious reader and makes some very intriguing reviews of books on various topics.
