Berlin Diary by William Shirer - Good stuff. 1941 Best Seller. Spooky. "First-hand account of the rise of Nazi Germany and its road to war, as witnessed by the American journalist William L. Shirer.[ Shirer, a radio reporter for CBS, covered Germany for several years until the Nazi press censors made it impossible for him to report objectively to his listeners in the United States"...........wikipedia

He later wrote "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," which is also fantastic.

Beneath A Scarlet Sky

Yup. Great book.

I picked that up from a hostel "leave your old books here" shelf and found it way more interesting than I expected.

I wanted to like it but found it repetitive and pretty boring. For each their own.

I just listened to Commander In Cheat by Rick Reilly, narrated by same on a long road trip. A 12hr+ listen. Kinda interesting that makes sense of the mindset of tRUmp. Amazing how much a countries golf proclivities factor into some of his "decisions".
Yeah, not a read, I know.
This is the winter I knock some of my books out, if nothing to appease the wife cuz of how many I have stock piled.

Lonesome Dove - should've read this years ago. Pretty sure Gus is someone I've met many times before and enjoyed his company every single time.

a truly great book. I ignored it for a long time because of the cheesy name and cover that made it look like a western romance novel. But the character development is simply fantastic. By the end of the book, when things happened, I knew exactly how the characters would react to those events, because I deeply knew and understood them.

Oh man, those are the exact same reasons I put it off. But hey, better late than never. I can already tell it's going to be one of these books that I don't want to see end.

Just finished Buried by Ken Wylie. Sobering read, felt like it went a little off the rails at times, but I didn't expect to relate as closely as I did to the emotions/thoughts/insecurities that he chronicles. Highly recommended if you can track a copy of it down.

Starting Winners Take All by Anand Giridharadas next.

I'm juggling Freedom Found, Warren Miller's memoir along with my other reads. It's nice for a little levity sometimes. He was a funny guy.

A Trappers Journal, by Osborne Russell

Dog Star...read it before, enjoyed it again. Dystopian survival story with a very personal aire about it.

The Dog Stars by Peter Heller. Just started it last night and I can tell it's going to keep me up late nights till I finish it (which shouldn't take long). I'm a sucker for these kind of books.

Got a copy today; read it straight through in one sitting. Wow, what a read; it goes far beyond a simple story of a tragic avalanche. Wylie is a gifted writer, unafraid of baring his soul. Recommended.

Edit: I rarely keep books; if anyone wants my copy, pm me: $5 shipped. Worth it.
