What's everyone reading?

[BobHaskell]

Finished A Race with Infamy, The Lance Macklin Story by Jack Barlow and currently reading Equations of Motion, William Milliken's autobiography. In the queue: Special Deluxe by Neil Young and Do You Feel Like I Do? by Peter Frampton with Alan Light.

Shoot, not very far back
Maybe it should be titled
indigenous people and the history of coexisting with the Europeans.

True, but I already read 1491.

For that you really need to be looking to archeology and studies in that discipline. There's been some really good work done in the past two decades that has challenged some long held beliefs.

Basil - Schwartzkopf (RIP) thought highly of that book. " ... [character] Sam Damon doesn't preach, he lives his values and they are universal, not only military. I wonder if Sam Damon was based on someone who actually lived.

Here's my latest eyeball exercise:

The Cheese and the Worms, Ginzburg.

Ginzburg uses Roman Inquisition records to show the religious and social conflicts of the sixteenth-century society the miller lived in.

Excerpt of the miller's testimony regarding The Creation: "I have said that, in my opinion, all was chaos, that is, earth, air, water, and fire were mixed together; and out of that bulk a mass formed – just as cheese is made out of milk – and worms appeared in it ..."

Hmm, that seems familiar to me.

Basil - Schwartzkopf (RIP) thought highly of that book. " ... [character] Sam Damon doesn't preach,

From the forward:

“Sam Damon’s origins lay in elements of Army Generals Clarence Huebner, Terry Allen, Robert Eichelberger, Marine Generals [Graves B.] Erskine and [David M.] Shoup, Captains [Jesse Walton] Wooldridge and [Samuel] Woodfill from World War I, and most especially Lucian Truscott, whom I came to admire tremendously from his memoirs and from people who knew him.”

As a coinky dinky, Mary and I went to the wedding and reception of the sister of Lucian Truscott IV (The grandson of the aforementioned Lucian Truscott of WWII fame). She married the brother of good friend and next door neighbors of ours while we were living on Kirtland AFB. We met Lucian the IV and I have one of his Novels signed (Dress Grey, which was also a TV movie). To be kind, I'll just say that the junior Lucian was an "interesting" character.

Just started re-reading this one. Read it years ago and have had it laying around for a while. Finally decided it was a good time to re-read.
