Just wondering what books any one reads? I just got done with Sammy Hagar "RED" and read it in 2 days. Very good autobiogrphy and am now reading " if this isn't jerky, than what did I just eat" from Bill Heavey. And just picked up "In The Sancuary Of Outcasts" An auto biography of a mans life behind bars for 4 years.

What books did/do you read or authers you enjoy

The Final Frontiersman by James Campbell.

Both the author and the main subject are from Wisconsin.

Very good book about a guy that moves from Wisconsin to Alaska and lives off the land.

True story.

I should have added that I’m also reading The BIG BURN about Roosevelt and how he put into the US Forestry Service while in office.   He took on all the big buck boys in the logging and paper industry,and Won!     Im reading both books at the same time to get a feel of politics and exploration at the same time.   1890s - 1918.

I read:

On War, Fishing and Philosophy by Joe Campolo, Jr.

If you have an interest in the Vietnam War and its many characters, this is a great read. 

Just finished the novel. Fabulous. The writing style is amazing and friendly to the audience. It seems to come effortlessly for the author. That is such an amazing natural skill. The author has known and lost so many talented friends, soldiers, writers. I very much look forward to reading another of this authors novels. 

Joe Campolo, Jr. , the author, is know on these boards as KTowne. He is an accomplished author, having at least 9 novels to his credit. Not sure of the exact number but we are lucky to have KTowne as one of our own.

Just finishing another of KTOWN’s books and it was as advertised on the cover.  It covered seemingly everything from smelt fishing to the World War in the ALEUTIAN ISLANDS to the deadly creatures in NAM!    It’ll certainly hold your interest.

Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides.
True story of a rescue of POW survivors of the Bataan Death March from a prison camp before as the US retook the Philippines in 1945.
Heart rendering to hear what the prisoners went through and riveting on how the rescue was pulled off.

You guys are funny. I was watching a documentary on Sigmund Freud and he is quoted as being unable to evaluate and understand women in his professional capacity as a psycho analyst. In another conversation he apparently admitted to stringing along and fleecing female patients of their money. "Completely hysterical" he described them in one of his writings.

200 years later and his profession has evolved into promoting gender confusion. So easy to see the connection between the past, the present and the perpetual irrationality
