Out of that entire fuchsing list, the only thing I've heard a positive word about was Blue Highways. Otherwise, a whole bunch of woke, mostly women, books there. they are trying to help you get in touch with your feminine side, you Nazi bastards.

I always kind of like the survival stuff, even down to Hatchet level, but not the "we had to resort to cannabalism on day three" ones, probably because I had a weird ass professor who was fixated on that stuff.
I figured... "Hey, it's Men's Journal, what could be bad about that list. I'll just basically blind copy the link".
Not remembering that they are probably more aptly named "We're not the toxic, man-splaining, privileged white male Men's Journal".
This mea culpa doesn’t exonerate you though - consider yourself on probation.
I have the good fortune of taking a 6 week sabbatical starting June 1 in which I plan to disconnect from much of the world, drink boat drinks, smoke cigars, and read books.
While I might read a business book or two, I’d rather just disconnect completely.
Any fiction or nonfiction recommendations? I might re-read the Clancy series, and I don’t think I’ve read the Jack Reacher series, so that’s possible. Also, any good history books lately?
A fun read from DeMille is "Gold Coast." Actual LOL moments.Nelson DeMille books. You should read the "John Corey" books in order (he's a great smart ass), and the one's with Paul Brenner (The General's Daughter), otherwise, they are stand alone books. For personal reasons, The Charm School might be my favorite book, period, of any. Also loved By The Rivers of Babylon. I find DeMille very interesting because he has a big "gap" in his timeline. He was an intel officer in Vietnam, then a well camouflaged "gap" after that. There is no way he wrote some of his books by just talking to people/researching.
It's a great book, the sequel is to, I think it's called "The Gate House."A fun read from DeMille is "Gold Coast." Actual LOL moments.
Did not know there was one. And given how "Gold Coast" ends, I would not have guessed there'd be a sequel. I'll look for it. Thanks.It's a great book, the sequel is to, I think it's called "The Gate House."
Yup, it's good. It's all about "the after" and still told through the eyes of the husband/lawyer.Did not know there was one. And given how "Gold Coast" ends, I would not have guessed there'd be a sequel. I'll look for it. Thanks.
That was my point; I couldn't imagine there was much "after!"Yup, it's good. It's all about "the after" and still told through the eyes of the husband/lawyer.
Ya gotta read the book! ;)That was my point; I couldn't imagine there was much "after!"
