Not sure how successful this thread will be but figured its worth having. This is the thread where we share what, if any, books we are reading and whether or not they're recommended. I admit I pretty much only read during break time at work. I'll start with my list that I am going through starting with what I just finished and I'm reading right now:
Decision Points by George W. Bush - Just finished this one. Its pretty fascinating to read the memoirs of a former President in my opinion. I plan on reading every US president's memoir from now on at least, and may try some presidents before my time. Bush was my 'first' president so to speak.
A Time To Betray by "Reza Khalili" - What I'm reading now. Pseudoname of a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who spied for the CIA. I hear some of his previous accounts, and this one, have been met with some 'skepticism'..but I'm sure at least some of it has truth to it as that's usually how things go.
Called to Coach by Bobby Bowden - I'm a Florida Gator fan all the way but I have a deep respect for Bobby Bowden, and used to for FSU before they forced him out the door. This will be my next read.
Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell - Started this before but kind of stopped, but I'll get back into it later. This one is pretty well known, about a Navy SEAL and his experience in Afghanistan being the..lone survivor..of a battle he was involved in with ST 10.
Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O'Reilly - Another one I started but stopped, in favor of other books. Just plain not as interesting as some of the other ones! But one day I suppose I'll finish it.
Playing With Purpose by Mike Yorkey - A kind of look back at the college football careers of Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow. The triumvirate didn't agree to any interviews or anything so there's not much official stuff, but its still an interesting read to anyone who watches college football or is a fan of one or all of the 3 QBs.
So lets see guys...which one of you old guys is going to be first to list about 20 books they've enjoyed throughout their lifetime, eh?
