I was already thinking about reading lonesome dove is it easy to stay hooked on?
Yes very easy, even though it’s 900+ pages before you know it your done.
My avatar is a drawing of Guss McCrey, and Captin Call form the movie that my father in law drew for me. It’s my favorite book and movie.

Thought I'd share something my neighbor did in our neighborhood....a book sharing email. Of course those of us on the list all had some common ground(conservatives and firearms owners). This helps to ensure you don't get books about feminists, white guilt, global swarming or how to groom your kid to be a tranny. Sometimes my reading focus can get stale and being a huge nerd even have the Coke bottle thick glasses to prove it! History, economics and finance/investing topics are my 1st choice, but even that gets repetitive. Through that email I found out I had an interest in a bit of a different twist.....James Michener books. The explorer in me was captivated....some were dud's like Carribbean. Texas was flipping great as was Alaska. When you said 1 book per quarter I thought of Michener b/c his books are um....long. Anyway just a thought which can make book swapping as easy as dropping off in a mailbox. We are all voracious readers who just HAVE to grab a paperback. Tried the e-reader just something about a book.
There is one at the local BBQ joint we hit after shooting, but the book choices seem to be kids leftovers. Love those my parents live in a development where the wellness/tennis/workout center doesn't just have a box it's a flipping library pretty neat. I'd have to say 2k books there at a minimum.
I'm actually starting American Solder - General Tommy Franks by this weekend. After the new year starts I like to get back into my routine of keeping 2 books going. I love Nov/Dec and family, but I like my routine dangit. When I'm down at my parents and I go swim I so want to grab a book that place is like a free reloading borrow warehouse! Any Patton titles you suggest?
Thanks will put them on the list
Reading this right now.....
Forgotten history that helped form the American mindset and was likely one of those events that set us on the path to eventual Revolution.
Books are like guns... You can never have enough
You quote me, yet the only comic book suggested was by buffalowinter up above (calvin and hobbs), which you liked.
I still have books from middle and high school all those years ago. I tend towards fantasy and sci fi since I read before falling asleep and don't want to think real hard about stuff.
