    I've been slack on my reading this summer but I'm in the middle of these two:

    "Whirlwind: The American Revolution and the War that Won It"

    "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design"

    Half way thru Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength. If your into weight training thus is a good one. Old school and hardcore. I like his perspective on strength training.

    I'd love to see this made into a movie. One of my favorite fiction reads. Red cliffs of zerhoun is as good.

    A whole range of things, but - pertinent to the forum: Finished Nessmuk and reading Kephart (who dedicated his book to Nessmuk). Next up, in the same vein: “Shelters, Shacks, and Shanties,” by Daniel C. Beard.

    I drive for work so I live on audiobooks...
    Mostly I read fantasy but I toss in other stuff occasionally...
    In the last six months I've read/listened to tons of books...here are what I've read recently

    Riyria Chronicles -by Michael J Sullivan- excellent

    Age of Myth Michael J Sullivan- goes along with the above series as an explanation of the beginning of time (currently reading age of swords series)

    Harry Potter - j.k.rowling -one of my faves

    Inheritance cycle (Eragon series)- Christopher Paolini- also a fave

    Going Home series -A. American- love it currently on book 9

    The Hobbit- JRR Tolkien - also currently reading Lord of the Rings

    @OutdoorsFamilyMan
    I also love me some Harry Potter books... They are a easy read and not so far sci-fi or creative fiction that it seems extremely made up. (If that makes sense) I have actually read all the original books And will be picking them up again as comparison books for reading in Spanish.

    I'm struggling to read through The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom, by T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence Of Arabia.) It's his account of his time in the middle east. Fascinating story, but his sentence structure is just plain weird making it hard to read.
