What book are you reading?

[Chuck E Ducky]

Next up I’m excited for this one.

[lhamilton1807]

That sounds spicy

[Chuck E Ducky]

It’s pretty wild so far.

The last 2 that I finished are

Meateater’s American History, Mountain Men
No Way Down by Graham Bowley

I enjoyed both books. I like No Way Down more as it wasn’t a story that I knew about. I knew that K2 was more dangerous than Everest but didn’t know any of the history or stories about it.

Just finished "Agency" by William Gibson. Sequel to The Peripheral.

It sucked. Started strong and just... went nowhere. A few brief, interesting scenes, but no overall plot, no story to follow. The feeling was a car chase with no heist and no prize.

Skip it if you were thinking of reading it, IMO.

[flyweightnate]

As i think about it... maybe that's his thesis.
Once AGI gains agency, people are just along for the ride, spectators with no influence.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Scary isn’t it. Wait till AGSI decides it don’t need the meat puppets anymore..

[Ratzo]

Conan The Magnificent

[coyote]

The Mission, the men, and me.
Lessons from a former Delta Force commander.

Pete Blaber.

Let's call it an autobiographical lesson in leadership and preparation.

Great read.

I'm back on books about people suffering and dying in the cold.

The Last Traverse by Ty Gagne, excellent read and I'd recommend it if you're into the outdoors

[The Jayster]

I'm into military sci-fi and history books, especially those dealing with warfare. I just finished Trinity's Children by Dave Bara.

[autococker04]

I just finished Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and jeeeeezzzzeeee that was by far the most violent book I’ve read, and it was really well written. Would recommend.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Sounds interesting I will put that on my list. Gangs of Scalp Hunters sounds dark.

[autococker04]

If you want eloquent brutality it will not disappoint

very good reading, guy has a great voice for the tone of the book

[Chuck E Ducky]

Just finished this one up. It’s a wild ride real page turner.

[BLachance75]

I added the audiobook to my list. Hopefully Apple fixes a bug with iOS 26 before it’s my turn.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Try the Libby app all you need is a Library card they offer audio books and it works great with the iPhone.

[autococker04]

This was a good one, very glad to work at a desk now haha

[BLachance75]

Just finished this one up. It’s a wild ride real page turner.

I just finished it and agree that it is an excellent book. Definitely worth the read or I'd recommend listening to the audiobook as he narrates it.

Started "First SEALs" by Patrick O'Donnell

[Glovebox Operator]

My brother got me listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl series on our commute. Fantasy kinda stuff isn't really my thing but I'm listening to them again.

[shocker_monkey]

I restarted the Sword of Truth series. I'm on book three currently, Blood of the Fold. It was a series I started reading in high school, got through a handful of books and then stopped for whatever reason.

Blind Decent by James Tabor

Im borderline claustrophobic and have zero interest in going in a cave but the book was interesting. I had zero knowledge of caves other than the typical tourist caves that you can go in. It’s kind of shocking to think that people voluntarily will go 6000+ feet into the ground.

[BLachance75]

Riding with Evil by Ken Croke and Dave Wedge

Along the same lines as Code Name Palehorse that Chuck E Ducky recommended, worth the read.

[Chuck E Ducky]

I will check that out thanks for the recommendation
