I've tended to chain read authors I like....once I find a good one...I try to read everything the library has by them before moving onto another author..
One day I'd truly like to do that...on my bucket list Marz….thank you for the great post..much appreciated
Ron Chernow is one author you should read when you have time. He wrote biographies on Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Ulysses S. Grant. Start with the Alexander Hamilton bio if you decide to read his books. @Lanny and I thoroughly enjoyed his Alexander Hamilton Biography.
I could only get half way through Heart of Darkness. I thought Apocalypse Now was not very good. Perhaps it's because I had trouble staying interested in the book that spawned the movie.
I thought the book was way better than the movie...but it was depressing. I was probably in my 20s when I read it...sometimes I'll reread something and find out it isn't as good as I thought it was when I was younger.
I think I was 21 when I read it. Now, I'm blind in one eye and have difficulty seeing out the other so I only read bills and then have a lot of trouble. If it weren't for leaning forward and squinting I couldn't read or post here.
audio books are the ticket my friend...my mom was an avid reader all her life but in her last years couldn't read...she resisted audio books until I finally got her to try them...then she loved them
I just read Stephen Ambrose "Undaunted Courage" about Lewis and Clark and Thomas Jefferson....great read....I'll check our Chernow...thanks
bump.....I want to again thank all of you for your sincere support....some forum members didn't see this post I was informed today so I'll bump it...sorry no blurry hospital pics
Omg brother I'm so glad to be reading this post. I say that to say I'm glad your still with us to write it.
Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan is pretty good if you don't mind Japanese historical stuff.
thank you bro....I've been through the mill the last week....starting to breath a bit better but my life will forever be changed....for now I can't drive, fly, eat salt, drink much water, sugar, bread, and I have to wear this defibrillator vest every hour of the day...for a month....then they jumpstart my heart …..97 degrees and not allowed to drink water...whew...just small sips.
hurts to hold the guitar for more than 5 minutes..hopefully that I can continue after the jumpstart....been playing the piano instead to while away the time.
you name it...I can't have it....doctor said everything I like is off limits...salt could kill me...no ice...no coffee...no bread....no sugar...on and on...sucks dude
I love that shit….read everything I could on Asian history...last read a two book series on the British Calvary and there trek from India to Afghanistan...can't remember the author...she was a British woman who grew up there
Well, when you can go fishing, let me know. I probably am somewhere on the river. I'll cut your watch to what ever you say.
