I don't read much of any books anymore, which I regret but just can't make myself to stay involved with them these days

I'm a Distinguished Lifetime member of the NRA,  though and I  read my monthly subscription of Shooting illustrated,  American Hunter, and National Rifleman...just saying

My last book that I read if I am not mistaken, was "Fat Kid's War", written by Kelley Crawford/ Damned Niffers ( Niff l....book is about his time  having to go to Vietnam and serve overseas...

I do not like novels or anything fction. I like history or something   technical or instructional.

The last book I read was Churchill's memoirs of WWII, the condensed version. Still a large volume but nothing close to the entire three volumes he wrote. I really enjoyed reading it.

These days I read or watch instructional courses related to music production, mixing, room acoustics, etc.

Yours to Command: The Life and Legend of Texas Ranger Captain Bill McDonald by Harold J. Weiss Jr.
I have read it several times. He is my wife's great great Uncle.

There are several books out that mention him in detail.

Most books in my library have been read multiple times.

I highly recommend "Piercing the Reich," which covers the actions (and antics) of the OSS in London during WWII.  It can be a little tedious when describing the necessity to obtain different papers for photo IDs for different countries, acquiring different types of ink, and so forth, but it's a well written book, both entertaining and educational.

Just finished "Unstopable Prosperity" by Charles Payne. A pretty good book about understanding how to invest in the stock market. My mom actually randomly bought it for me for Christmas. Was actually a good read and learned a few things.

Just finished "Tower of Skulls" by Richard Frank.  War in the Asia-Pacific theater from 1937 until the surrender of Corregidor.  If you've read Frank's Guadalcanal book, you'll be familiar with how well he researches and writes.  This is a part of the war that most of us know little about (China, Malaya, Burma, Dutch East Indies, Hong Kong, Philippines...).  Was an eye-opener.

By the end, I was convinced that we did not drop enough nukes on Japan.
