I'm almost 100% positive most guys on the 24HCF can't read.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Lots of good books listed above, I have read many. I will add one
Patton: A Genius for War by Carlo D'Este.
I like all of D'Este's books, but this is his best.

Most all of Elmer Keltons books
A good many of Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan
All of Richard Marcinko's books that
I've read
Jerry Ahern's Survivalist (the first ones)
All of William Johnstone's that I've read
( the later Ashes books were too far fetched
for me- just like the later Survivalist books)
The Foxfires
Most any that isn't too far out and
far fetched

I'm almost 100% positive most guys on the 24HCF can't read. For sure a good portion are very poor spellers.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Best book I have read about the end of WWII in Europe, "The Last 100 Days" by John Toland. 610 pages, and I just finished reading it for the second time. Many prominent military figures were still living at the time it was written (1964), and the author interviewed them.

Few repeat reads of God is my Co pilot and Marine Sniper.
My problem is, if a book is halfway decent, I'll finish it in one run.........makes for some rough next days.

Death in the Long Grass - Peter Capstick
Cold Sassy Tree - Olive M Burns
A Walk In The Woods - Bill Bryson
"Harold and the Purple Crayon" Crockett Johnson
Scotland: The Story of a Nation - Magnus Magnusson
The Legend of Pierre Bottineau and the Red River Trail
- Ted Stone (Pierre was my great great great grandfather) Miss Lynn, if you are familiar with Bryson, you must read The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.

Used to read a lot, last book read was "What does this button do?"
Kid got me a copy signed by the author.
Enjoyable but light.
I'd rather print tabs, watch music videos and try to play along w amp cranked.
Kinda hard to do with people in my house.
Had half of Live After Death memorized.
Put away a lot of booze doing that too. Good times.

The Bible.
It's more valuable than any other single object on earth, IMHO.
Every time that I read it I learn something new. .. lots of new principles. Especially that it is a written record of what God requires for everlasting life in heaven.
"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.". I John 5:10-12
