Book board.


Also, if you haven’t read the Hyperion series, read it.

I get all my books through the library now. Whether they are physical or digital the selection is pretty good. I read about the history of Tabasco which I found to be quite interesting.

Genre?




Anything but romance

I travel a lot and have read everything in every airport and amazon is running out of decent suggestions.

I recently read The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu.

About some librarians and historians smuggling ancient manuscripts out of Timbuktu during the Al Qaeda takeover of Mali in 2012

I've been on a Michael Chabon kick lately.

The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay has been my favorite.

Junie B. Jones is a pretty good series, although it lacks in depth.

I'm still an old-fashioned bound book guy, so I don't know if these are available on Kindle or not.

I'm mostly into reading about World War II, but I'm also a baseball fan so my last two reads were about that:

Summer of '49 by David Halberstam and Babe: The Legend Comes to Life by Robert Creamer.

My next read is called Behind Hitler's Lines by Thomas Taylor. It is the true story of Joseph Beyrle, the only man to have fought in both the American and Soviet armies during World War II. Sounds really interesting.

If you like French history/historical fiction, check out the first 6 books of Maurice Druon’s Accursed Kings series. Incredible.
