Over the past few months I've read some great ones - Rick Atkinson's "The Guns at Last Light," Scott Anderson's "Lawrence in Arabia," Simon Winchester's "The Men Who United the States," and Rick Lynch's "Adapt or Die."
I've just started Bill Bryson's "One Summer: America, 1927" mainly because my father, Charles Arnold, was born on March 15, 1927 in Oil Trough, Arkansas.
Books have become an important part of my life, and I consistently look forward to that special part of my day when I can get back to reading.
My wife says I never listen to her. At least that is what I think she said. I love you, fellow traveler. CH
ReplyDeleteSir, may I suggest "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchmann
ReplyDeleteThe opening paragraph will make you weep.
