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

fwiw,
"Left of the Bang" by Patrick Van Horne. Most interesting thing I have read in a while.

Regards, Matt.

I have been reading novels by Joel C. Rosenberg. They are focused on end times and the rise of islam. He also has some non-fiction that is good reading. Rosenberg is closely acquainted with and has worked for Benjamin Netanyahu. He writes very well and his thrillers could be tomorrows headlines.

Have also been catching up on my John Grisham. "Gray Mountain" & "The Whistler" are both good reads.

I'm reading this one now.....A Short History Of The Confederate States Of America, by Jefferson Davis.
Have read these lately, and found them worthy.....They Gave Me A Seafire, by Mike Crosley.....Coral and Brass, by Holland Smith....Twelve Years In The Saddle, William Sullivan.....Hood's Texas Brigade, by J.B. Polley......Cowboy Detective, by Charlie Sirico.......Commando, by Dennys Reitz........Spitfire Pilot, by David M. Crook.........Tally-Ho Yankee In A Spitfire, by Arthur Gerald Donahue......Spitfire! The Experiences of a Spitfire Pilot, by Brian Lane.

I found the books about the Spitfire and the men who flew her to be very good reading, at least for me, as I've always been intrigued by such. The last three books on my list were written by pilots who flew Spitfires, and were killed in action during WW2.

I recently read the three Rosenberg novels about JB Collins in order...#1 The Third Target, #2 First Hostage, #3 Without Warning. Great reads and could be tomorrows headlines for sure.
Another thriller which I couldn't put down was David Hosp's... Dark Harbour which was set in Boston about a serial killer.
The last two I read were Dean Koontz's...Velocity and Dan Brown's... Digital Fortress both good reads.

The Tears of Re: Beekeeping in Ancient Egypt by Gene Kritsky

The Education of Cyrus by Xenophon (translated by Wayne Ambler)

The last two were Michener's "the Source", which is absolutely outstanding, and Wendell Berry's "Jayber Crow". Totally different, and best consumed piecemeal, but no less outstanding.

"Empire of the summer moon" was a wonderful read, as well.

Ardennes 1944 by Anthony Beevor. The Battle of the Bulge.

recollections of William+finaughty elephant hunter 1864-1875. My Lost Wilderness by Ralph young(he was brown bear guide in the old days) shakari connection has free ebook of the wiilliam finaughty book. John boyes king of the wa-kikuyu( took over tribe of about 1 million Africans that had previously killed all whites in there territories)

I have added The Source to my Amazon wishlist. I have read "Caravans" and "The Covenant" both were outstanding reads.

I read the John Boyes book. It was very interesting, and good reading.

A really good list of additions here. Thanks for pitching in.

I like good fiction, WWII books, historical novels and books about guns and hunting.

I just finished our own John Barsness's new book "The Big Book of Big Game Hunting". It's such a terrific book that I bought 5 copies to give to my first line hunting buddies.

Working on a few as usual. Besides the steady stream of detective novels, I'm also reading Coyote America, by Dan Flores, who might be known to some folks here. Everything you ever wanted to know about the rascals.

The Detective Montalbano series by Andrea Camilleri is my current favorite in that genre. Well translated from Italian, they feature the
real Mafia, lots of hot babes, great food, and the obligatory introspection by the protagonist. The series is up to about 20 novels, a bunch of short stories, and a very popular TV show that's really a series of feature films running about 1 1/2 hours each. The shows can be seen on Amazon video by adding an inexpensive channel to your package. There are the original shows, plus another batch featuring a younger version of the character. All of them are very good and have made the star an international celebrity, and the Sicilian town where it's filmed a major tourist attaction. Books and show are highly recommended.

The Great Arab Conquests by John Glubb. Out of print, but gives a great description of Islam and why moderate Muslims aren't real Muslims.

I recently read Alaska's Wolf Man by James Reardon. It was a fabulous book that would be totally enjoyed by any ourdoorsman.
