[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 739524, member: 959"] Just finished "These Truths: A History of the United States" by Jill Lepore. I am generally moderate, and consider my self a compassionate conservative in the veins of George W. and what Jeb advocated for in 2016 but enjoy looking at our problems from view points other than my own so really enjoyed it. It is a LONG 800+ page book so it took some time, but there are some really interesting points the book makes about our past and how it led us to where we are today. Closer to the vein of my personal political leanings I also really enjoyed "The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush" by Mark Updegrove. I also enjoyed "Upstream: The Quest to solve problems before they happen" by Dan Heath. For Fiction: Also big fan of Rollins, and other covert action books (Marc Cameron, Bray Taylor, Brad Thor, Ted Bell, Steve Berry) but I particularly like the Mitch Rapp series by Kyle Mills/Vince Flynn for special operator type books. Stephen King is the master of all things terrifying. I read meditations once (if not more) a year too, and find something new everytime (been doing so since freshman year at GT in 2003). [/QUOTE]
