Thread: Book Recommendations

  1. #1401
    Haven't really read them so not a recommendation, yet. Something cool that came up on Twitter though, the Association of the US Army is publishing graphic novels about Medal of Honor awardees. Skimming one on break the online version was unreadable but the .PDF download on the same page was good to go. All of them to date here:

    I’ve been enjoying John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series.

    https://www.johnconnollybooks.com/the-parker-series

    Starts off with gritty detective style material, but as the series progresses it starts to get involved with the supernatural as well as some non-mainstream religious issues (fallen angels, pagan gods, etc).



    Don’t know if Connolly is a gun enthusiast or not, but find his choices of firarms interesting. Parker starts the series with a S&W 1076. There’s a hitman who goes around with an arsenal in his trunk (and he’s good comic relief as a homoxexual, black, super-conservative republican).

    Tried the series after reading positive reviews...but couldn't get into it.

    Just finished “Don’t Shoot” by David M. Kennedy, which was recommended to me by LE forum mod BBI.

    https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Shoot-Fe.../dp/1608194140

    It describes a series of programs to reduce inner-city violence and improve community-police relations — how some worked amazingly well, and how some of them failed. Definitely relevant to today, because a lot of the issues covered are exactly what we’re hearing in the “defund the police” arguments.

    This came up in my Twitter feed today:

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ted-clausewitz

    The Children's Illustrated Clausewitz

    A modern interpretation of Clausewitz's seminal "On War" for children

    Fitz Gerald expresses Clausewitz’s ideas through language accessible to a bright ten-year-old
    Which just seems like outrageous pandering to our Marine brethren... :-P

    Seriously though, I may have to kick in to this. It's probably a character defect , somehow, but I'm just tremendously amused by the idea :-)

    25 to 30% in on Jake Tapper's book, "The Outpost" and it is a harrowing tale that hits you in the gut. So far he's done an excellent job telling the story of these brave young men, (and a few women), and it's all I can do to not let it put me in a funk.

    As I said in another thread, I've already read MOH recipient Romesha's book, but this, (no disrespect intended), does more justice, imho, to just what these extraordinary souls endured and the sacrifices made.

    Things can get a bit dusty if you're not careful.

Good read and was available on Kindle for less than $5 IIRC.
    Not sure if this is the right place for it but, ... Sean Parnell is running for the congressional seat currently occupied by Conor Lamb and put out this ad:

    I just finished D.J. Butler’s new book In the Palace of Shadow and Joy. He writes the Witchy Eye series among others. I enjoyed it. It’s an epic fantasy set in the city of Kish. Indrajit and Fix are hired to protect Ilsa without Peer and the fun starts.

    I’m giving a copy away in Karma.
