What book are you reading?

The Hunt for Red October is my current read. I read it probably once a year. My favorite book of all time.

On standby (I jump in and out of books halfway through) are: Pioneer Bush Pilot -Story of Noel Wien, In the Shadow of Eagles (another bush pilot bio), and Carrying the Fire (Michael Collins, Apollo astronaut bio). My tastes run mainly nautical and aeronautical history and biographies.

The Cosmere marathon continues. I’ve completed The Way of Kings and I’m now on to Words of Radiance. As for recurring characters, I Felt that concept had a bit of Wit to it, don’t you think?

When I was a teenager I started reading my dad's John Grisham novels. Saw "A Time For Mercy" on the grocery store rack the other week and picked it up. It's pretty good, not exactly a sequel but it picks up with the same attorney and setting as his first novel "A Time to Kill" (of "Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!" fame) five years later

Currently reading "Kill-O-Byte".
It's about a VR video game. I think it was from 1993.

I've been reading stories that do weird things with time. So like The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, which was fantastic and basically Knives Out + Momento + Edge of Tomorrow; All You Need is Kill, which is the book Edge of Tomorrow was based on, it was good, and I'm just about to finish Piranesi, which was...weird but enjoyable.

OH you're in for a treat. Just remember to be patient with The Way of Kings. You're gonna get plopped down on Roshar and have no idea what's going on. Don't be in a rush to have every question answered, and make sure you pay attention to the epigraphs. And be on the lookout for familiar names and faces.

I finished “Endurance, Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage” by Alfred Lansing. I like polar exploration books and this one was very good. It is amazing to read what they lived through.

I’m starting Apache Wars now

Is this the same book as "A Man Called Ove"? When I search your title, I get Russian results, for some reason. Lol

At the moment I am reading Frederick Buckman's "The Second Life of Uwe". The novel sucked me in, in a few days I read 3/4 of the books, despite the fact that there is not so much time for reading.

De rien, mon ami. Also grab a hold of Lewis and Clark's journal. Enlightening stuff.

I’ll have to check all 3 of those out. I really been into learning about western exploration lately so all 3 of those will fit in nicely. What I’ve learned so far is vastly different than what was taught in school as a child growing up. Thanks for the recommendations.

I just finished Empire of the Summer Moon by S. C. Gwynne. If you’re into western history it’s worth a read.

If you liked that one, check out the following:

The Apache Wars: The Hunt for Geronimo, the Apache Kid, and the Captive Boy Who Started the Longest War in American History by Paul Andrew Hutton
Chief Joseph & the Flight of the Nez Perce: The Untold Story of an American Tragedy by Kent Nerburn
Comanches: The History of a People by TR Fehrenbach

All three books were hard to put down. I like learning about the Apache Wars in particular, since some of those events happened literally within sight of my house. Normally I have a healthy respect for Amerindians, to include my Mexica ancestors, but the Comanche were absolutely worthy of the title "savage". Amazing what kind of barbarity those people dreamt up, and most of it was visited upon their fellows Amerindians.
