Here's my most recent read prior to starting the ones I mentioned above. (Note: it typically takes me months, if not longer, to finish a book. My only time for reading for pleasure is when I get in bed, and I end up reading the same five pages over and over and over...)
Brian T. is the significant other of my good friend Jenni, who supplies me with her killer pork rub on the regular (and who is herself a major figure in Americana music on the promotion/management side). Townes was a deeply troubled but deeply amazing artist, whose very hard life ended at age 52 in 1997 (although he volunteered for most of the hard parts... gambling, drugs, and drink). His songs are absolutely incredible, conveying so much meaning in the fewest possible words. His guitar arrangements are deceptively simple, and his influence on at least two generations of singer-songwriters is hard to overstate. The structure of the book is in short chapters where his contemporaries describe their recollections, after Brian T. provides a short intro to that person and their relationship to Townes. Really interesting book!Comment

This is an outstanding book! A fantastic primer on the origins of Western Civilization, and the benefits of the masculine nature. I've read it 3 times and given 20 copies away.

Just finished "The Help" which I found to be a great read. Currently reading Sigurd Olson "Runes of the North." If anybody has ever been to the Boundary Waters or further north, I would highly recommend this one. If you can find it.Comment

I can’t really say much without going political. This is what I’m reading now. I just finished Hillbilly Elegy. It was a pretty incredible sociological commentary on a group I hadn’t had much contact with.Comment

Last weekend I went as a spectator to my first bbq competition and I can absolutely see how people get hooked, not just in the cooking but the camaraderie. I don’t know that I’ll ever compete but the kindle version is dirt cheap so I figured why not.

This book, Wooden Boats, was recommended to me by a fellow woodworker. We are also both former boaters. Anyway, it’s about some guys in Martha’s Vineyard that build and repair wooden boats. Most are sailboats but they do some power boats also. I’m enjoying it thoroughly. Great insight into the men, boats, sailing, and the overall wooden boat community. The photo is from my Kindle screen. I’m sure the actual book looks different.

I've been working my way through different periods of European history - reading nonfiction history, then reading fiction of the period to get an on-the-ground viewpoint. I'm in the early 19th century right now. (stock photo - I'm reading the digital version)

I see Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant FBI director, on the news shows regularly. I have been laid up, off my feet, for a week tomorrow, with a rousing case of gout from a medication change made recently. Can barely hobble to the bathroom and the dog's dishes. This is about a real FBI investigation of long haul trucker serial killers, apparently more of them than one would imagine. Just started, but so far, so good.

I read a lot on my Kindle, my dad got me started on the CJ Box "Joe Pickett" series. They are a great read, currently reading the second in the series "Savage Run". Read "Open Season" in record time, couldn't put it down. I guess as a forester I relate a little to the character. For those of you who utilize a local library, my wife got me started on the "Libby" app, it syncs with my library and I can check out books electronically on there, have them delivered right to my kindle. Very convenient.
