Book recommendation thread

I read this autobiography "Broken Music", which actually appears to be written by Sting himself in 2003. It tells his story from his childhood up to when The Police had just started to see success. There were some surprising details and amazing connections, and it is nice to see how long and hard the struggle can be, even for someone who grew into a well-crafted songwriter and rock star.

 

I got a Kindle for Christmas probably five or eight years ago. I like books.

I don’t know how or why but when Covid hit I had been going to the library and I actually had 21 library books. They closed the library and I could not return them.

After reading all of them I had to turn on my Kindle. I then borrowed Kindle books from my library. I was surprised that it worked because I had not used it for years.

 

Read a few books by Shari Lapena that were good

 

Stuart Woods has gotten monotonous...
I like the Bill O'Reilly series Killing_______
C.J Box, Brad Taylor, Marc Cameron among a lot of those listed previously with similar types of stories.
A great one: Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins (true story)
And the one to make you think: One Second After by William Forstchen

 

The book I mentioned "Boyd, The Fighter Pilot that Changed the Art of War"... will make your head spin in the last 20% or so of the book.... your brain will hurt...

 

I have accumulated almost 1,500 books. I always thought I'd sell them to a used book store, but those businesses had dried up before I got around to it. Never thought about Goodwill. I guess I'll do that and reduce the amount of fuel for a house fire in my basement...

I used to spend a couple hours every day reading. In 2013 I bought my first Samsung tablet. Read on that for a year or 2, then I transitioned to streaming during the time I would normally read. It has probably made me less smart, but I'll be ok.

 

We have this thing in my neighborhood, not sure if it's unique to my neighborhood, where folks put a post in their front yard like a mailbox but they're little houses that they put books in. The theory being take one when you want one, bring one to replace it.

We have that in our lake community. Hasn't caught on in my home subdivision.

 

I like the o’reilly series killing xxxxxx. Pretty good books

 

That was on Chicago Fire. Mouch built it. Then someone burned it down, don’t remember the reason.
