haha that was kind'a the point of the pic, but I will say 'Garden & Gun' is a great read if you can ignore the Rolex's.

With the Kindle Paperwhite my library fits in my pocket and does not have fancy covers anymore, but it contains fiction, historical ficton, history books, and a few political commentaries for the most part. Whenever I am asked this question I always reply with "The Bad Ass Librarians of Timbuktu" which makes me sound smart when in fact I probably just finished another Bernard Cornwell book.Comment

I don't read books. Funny that way. I love reading schematics and such, recipes, I could wrap up in a warm blanket with a beer and devour a whole service manual.
This is what I usually do!

I've got an Easton Press, Folio, Library of American & Franklin Publishing library, mostly for passing on to grandkids someday, but I've read them all once. Some stuff half a dozen times.
My daughter is a columnist so we talk about what we're reading a lot, and she sends me emails on current books I shouldn't miss.
She says that growing up watching her parents constantly reading is what set her in that direction. I'm just happy she's literate... it's such a relief to be proud too.Last edited by JGo37; December 5, 2018, 06:19 PM.Comment

I little Isaiah from my recent trip to Israel! I'm standing in Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, and overlooking the Dead Sea.

My recent comment about the value of the hand written word had this, and the recent discovery of potentially related documents, in mind. Nicely done, Paul. -
Thanks, my friends! I took pictures all over with the Scripture describing that place, or occurring in that place. At least 50 different ones. So incredible!

CaptainMike I saw that Constitution and Other Writings book at Costco last weekend and I actually lost track of time thumbing through it. What a great collection of American political wisdom. I didn't buy it...only because I'm hoping it ends up in my stocking in a few weeks.Comment

Two writings, one actual and one an accounting of, shaped my life as an American, Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the account(s) of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death" speech to the House of Burgess. Unfortunately, Paine's works are not included in this book, makes me wonder why not. -
CaptainMike look for Library of America issues of the writings of T Jefferson, and of Ben Franklin, and the Debate on the Constitution set. They're on eBay now.
