If you're into football and think you know a lot, you'd be surprised at how much you can learn from "TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE BALL" by Pat Kirwan

I'm not finished with my copy, just got it in the mail last week and I'm only on page 39, but I've already learned a lot in those 39 pages.

im reading "Rough RIders: Theodore Roosevelt, his cowboy regiment, and the immortal charge up san juan hill" but I have always liked books on Teddy

Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris is awesome. Give it a read if you haven't already.

Uncommon by tony dungee
Turner diaries- this book is considered the blue print for the okc bombing. Interesting read of fiction

Everything Robert Ruark ever wrote. Especially Something of Value.
Steinbeck's East of Eden. Far better than The Grapes of Wrath (for which he was awarded the Pulitzer).
Death in the Afternoon, Hemingway - nonfiction; the science of bullfighting.
All of Grisham's works; I particularly recommend The Confession.
Lonesome Dove, Streets of Laredo and Texasville by Larry McMurtry. He can give life to his characters the way no one else can and dialogue can't be matched by anyone - except by maybe McCarthy (see below).
Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses trilogy, should be read in order.
Stephen Hunter's Bob Lee Swagger trilogy; Point of Impact, Dirty White Boys, Black Light (must be read in order).
Prince of Tides and Beach Music, Pat Conroy.
The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption written by Stephen King (yep he wrote 'em.)
Most of Wilbur Smith's stuff.
Nelson DeMille has done some good work; in particular, The General's Daughter and The Charm School.
Peter Hathaway Capstick, Death in the Long Grass. Fun reading and expounds upon the difficulties of being a white hunter (though many PH's have said some of his experiences are borrowed and exaggerated).
And just for enlightenment purposes; Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do, (nonfiction), the absurdity of consensual crimes in a free society. The quotes contained on every page are well worth the price of the book. Author, Peter McWilliams.
Oh... and Louis L'Amour's Last of the Breed.


Those oughta hold you for awhile.

Dispatches from Pluto: Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta by Richard Grant

I'm kinda partial to this as I'm from MS. The MS delta is a special place. I recommend everyone spend at least part of their life there.

If I don't read for about an hour each night before bed I can't sleep. My brain just won't shut off unless I read, usually fantasy or sci-fi. If I read fiction or history I end up thinking about it too much and then I still can't sleep haha. So fantasy is usually my go to, it sounds crazy, but it works for me.

Brandon Sanderson is probably my favorite. But if you go to https://www.goodreads.com/ it will help you find books you will like in any genre.

If you liked Marcus's and Chris's books, you need to read Outlaw Platoon. It's balls to the walls the whole time in Afghanistan

I liked it, boiled it down to pretty fundamental approaches.

Before you go spending all your protein/corn money at Amazon, check out your local public library.

I'm reading The Dark Tower now. I think the Bob Lee Swagger series are good. Starts with Point of Impact I believe. It's what the movie "Shooter" is based off of.
