I mostly read about real people who accomplish a lot in their lives, but I'm open to anything. Also enjoy reading about money.

Also, could you tell a little bit about the book you suggest?

Currently reading new Clancy: Command Authority.

Very interesting read so far, given the state of affairs in our country and the view some have of the current administration.

Awfully broad request. I'd suggest Guns, Germs and Steel for nonfiction, and The Robe for fiction.

Fiction- Confederacy of Dunces. If not that, then The Firm or Presumed Innocent. Those are probably the 3 best books I've ever read.

Non-Fiction: Modern Times by Paul Johnson. World history since the end of WWI

Fiction: Flash for Freedom! by George MacDonald Fraser.
quote:

Flash for Freedom! is a 1971 novel by George MacDonald Fraser. It is the third of the Flashman novels.

quote:

Flashman is a minor character in the 1857 novel by Thomas Hughes, Tom Brown's School Days; Hughes' version of the character is a bully at Rugby School who is expelled for drunkenness. The character was then developed by Fraser, and appeared in the 1969 novel Flashman. Fraser went on to write a total of eleven novels and one collection of short stories featuring the character.

During the course of Fraser's novels, Flashman goes from his expulsion from school into the army. Although he is a coward who tries to run away from any danger, he is involved in many famous military episodes from the 19th century, often taking actions that cause or affect subsequently infamous events, such as his flatulence affecting the charge of the Light Brigade, or being the person who probably shot George Armstrong Custer... Despite his cowardice and his attempts to flee, he becomes a decorated war hero and rises to the rank of brigadier-general. He also meets people who either were notable at the time—such as Benjamin Disraeli and the Duke of Wellington—or who became well-known after Flashman met them—such as Abraham Lincoln.

Flashman either had, or tried to have, sex with most of the female characters: by the end of the ninth book he estimates that he has had sex with 480 women.
