A must read...especially for the Squad. People that have no historical context say stoopid stuff.



And the 2 best books ever written about WWII rather easily...

You like to call your collected works "canon." It's something you like to do.

Based on your list of recent reads I have nothing to think you will be interested in this, but I read it about a year ago and enjoyed it.

True for the hardcovers, but there's always the cherished eBook.

Awhile back I saw someone selling a signed copy of Husky Football in the Don James Era for $300 on eBay. Kind of odd.

You can’t ask a vinyl guy to buy an eBook?!!

For very reality based fiction with a heavy dose of Chinese history and culture that I found fascinating, the first book in my new favorite trilogy (and great on its own):

PurpleThrobber

Anything by Michael Lewis or Timothy Egan.
