Currently reading PT 109 and previously read a book on the Indianapolis. Fuck being in the Navy and surging your ship getting sunk only to float around in shark chinfested seas wondering if you’re going to live.GrundleStiltzkin said:
The only tim I really see commercials anymore is during football season. The one that makes me chortle right now has the line, “You know who reads submarine books?” “My dad.”
Damn straight. This one isn’t some scholarly work but a compendium of first hand accounts of WW2 submariners. Two are about guysm who got left above decks when boat submerged. Best story was a crew that presumably hit a mine. 15 guys were thrown out of conning tower by explosion, 7 made it to an island. -

I'll never put on a life jacket again -
This was good. Half narrative, half light-military science. What D Days in the Pacific should have been. -
-
damn war imagery on this thread is heavy.
I like to read to forget about things that are in the daily news - love the historical war stories, etc. so here is one that explains the Dead, and how some dead heads also got to be the way they are

Broke from my old man WWII books for something different. I don't understand much of this, which is why Ireadinglistening to it I suppose. This dude really likes him some blockchain and starts coming across as magical thinking a touch. -
I started reading this a few years back @LebamDawg . Got side tracked and need to re-visit.LebamDawg said:damn war imagery on this thread is heavy.

My affinity for complex-things-explained-in-simple-manner books is well documented. This is one of the better ones, and higher level. It gets pretty sciency. -
Good book.LebamDawg said:damn war imagery on this thread is heavy.

Good chit so far. Of the mythbuster, what-you-think-you-know is wrong genre, which I enjoy.

Any book narrated by Dick Harries is one I've gotta give a listen to.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Not sure how to describe this one. Geopolitical overview of fossil fuels & power generation. Regardless I’m about halfway through, interesting. -
Now started this one. This guy is good.

@pawz recommended this book somewheres, maybe the late @creepycoug's shitty bored. Anyhow, really good, thanks.

Entertaining book. Could well have been written by SpaceX PR, but given that caveat, learned a lot.

I just got done reading this too. Thank you @pawz. I appreciated how Voss acknowledged (unlike most business books) that there *is* quite a bit of emotion involved in negotiating. I almost wish we could do this as a book club selection.GrundleStiltzkin said:@pawz recommended this book somewheres, maybe the late @creepycoug's shitty bored. Anyhow, really good, thanks.

I bet you think I’m being unreasonable asking you to do another book club, especially when few people participated in the last one... -

I tried using some of the techniques yesterday with a customer service agent but I botched it badly. Still, good practice and I know what I did wrong for next time.pawz said:

But I so far have had a 100% success rate with the “Are you giving up on x?” email. -
I know this is going to sound selfish on my part, but I really think @GrundleStiltzkin should organize it given his vast experience organizing book clubs.Doog_de_Jour said:
