But the fact of the matter is that the entire world, will be reading Melville’s Moby Dick, for centuries. Because of the writing. The Prose. The perfection of it. Same way we still read and Study Shakespeare, or Nathaniel Hawthorne for another epic American writer. In the big scheme, and to date, Moby Dick will remain this countries most viable and appreciated single work above all others. Inter-continentally, across translations/borders/ spheres of politic and even comprehension. Even the Hemingway’s and Hawthornes or whomevers might not have written something that will ‘last” as long. Hard to explain. But if they’re still reading The old Greek [bleep] like the Iliad and The Odyssey a hundred years from now, I promise you Moby Dick will be on The List from the America’s.

We Pointed Them North
Recollection’s of a Cowpuncher

By E.C. “Teddy Blue” Abbott

I saw Shogun which is decorated great read. But the first thing that came to my mind was Lonesome Dove, which has also been previously mentioned. Get both. They’re both long. Finish them both but hopefully not on your weather blown out hunt.

Crazy call on Brett Easton Ellis’
American Psycho. I enjoyed it.
Lol.
Wild call.

“This is not an exit”

Another vote for Alaska:s Wolfman.
Blood and Treasure is the real history,/story of Daniel Boone's life and a good read.

Agreed. After seeing "In the Heart Of The Sea" and then reading the book, it inspired me to read Moby Dick for the first time in my 6th decade. It was a hard read but worth the time.

You can read that book like 8 times, and
Get more from it each time. And learn to ‘skim’ weirdo parts you’ve already ingested fully. Or, get lost in them again and find things you ‘skimmed over’ and missed to begin with. Crazy Book.

"Captains Courageous", Rudyard Kipling

"Starship Troopers", Robert Heinlein

Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose.
A biography of Meriwether Lewis, great read!

Blood and Thunder should be one of them.

Unreal good. I have it but ineed to read it again. Its like being there in the early fur trapping west.
