Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Read any good books lately?

I just finished "The Next 100 years" by George Friedman. He is the principal of the Stratfor Group, a Geopolitical Think Tank and is former CIA, I believe. Excellent read.

Currently I'm reading "Empire of the Summer Moon", Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. It's a GREAT read and I recommend it highly.

Anyone want to add to the list?

I've read "Empire of the Summer Moon" and it's great. Try "Rising Tide" about the great Mississippi River flood of 1927.

Last two I've read:

Nonfiction:
Dynasty by Tom Holland, was pretty interesting.

Fiction:
Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut

Vonnegut is great

I just started "Empire of the Summer Moon." It has me hooked already. Next will be fiction: "G-Man" by Stephen Hunter.

I just finished Alaska Wolf man Frank Glaser very good read!

Of course: my book "The Float." Available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Just finished "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo" by Lt.Col. Patterson. Early Africana at it's best!

A Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. This is the author of the Longmire series that has been cancelled...much to my disappointment. Also, C.J. box short stories. Both authors are good reads and easily read. Enjoy! MTG

Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am.

Amazing how the US Government helped and, simultaneously, worked to destroy the airline industry in America. Great read, more like a novel.

Netflix bought the rights and finished the series quite well. They did the last 2 seasons if memory serves. Gotta get Netflix. If you can cram 2 seasons into 2 weeks, you can do the free trial and cancel before you get charged.

Yes

One Second After by William Forstchen. Life after an EMP event, ugly to say the least.

I agree. I really like C. J. Box. Craig Johnson I thought was a disappointment as well.

"A Terrible Glory" by James Donovan. Custer and the Little Bighorn.

Crazy Horse and Custer by Ambrose is also excellent. Haven't read A Terrible Glory.

All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I've read three of his novels, The Road, Blood Meridian, and this one.
Pretty Horses is my favorite.

For those of you that enjoy Empire of the Summer Moon, the next book you should read is "Comanches: The History of a People". The first 100 pages offer the most accurate description of the American Indian than anything I have ever read. (And that is a lot.)

An excellent book. Personally I think Blood Meridian is one of the greatest novels ever written but Horses is indeed stellar as well.

Cormac McCarthy is in the running for my favorite.

If you're up for a challenge try "Child of God." McCarthy generally gets at human ugliness with the truth, but this one is especially visceral.

Adding to my list:)

Recently read two by David McCullough: John Adams and The Johnstown Flood.

Both are terrific. Currently reading Mornings On Horseback, also by McCullough.
