A funny book about World War 1 that doesn't succumb to corniness, and a serious book but without becoming too maudlin.I'm a friend of the author. <br /><br />Also...what the guy just before me said about "East of Eden is completely accurate.C.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16827912323858797570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932428811042208612.post-2886178844283967922010-10-02T15:01:51.300-04:002010-10-02T15:01:51.300-04:00steinbeck's "east of eden" is perfec...steinbeck's "east of eden" is perfection.pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423368655589568891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932428811042208612.post-75466061906263493692010-09-30T21:45:03.217-04:002010-09-30T21:45:03.217-04:00I just thought of a good book that anyone on the D...I just thought of a good book that anyone on the Delmarva peninsula should read, "Chesapeake" by James Mitchner.

Here they are:<br /><br />"The Captured" by Scott Zesch - A True Story of Abduction by Indians on the Texas Frontier<br /><br />"Empire of the Summer Moon" by S. C. Gwynne - Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History<br /><br />"The Bush Tragedy" by Jacob Weisberg<br /><br />All three are excellent. Coicidentally they all have a Texas theme. Not something I was searching for but just happened. I highly recommend all three of these books. These are the three best out of the last dozen I've read this year.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932428811042208612.post-73770889772249602032010-09-30T13:47:21.972-04:002010-09-30T13:47:21.972-04:00Try a book titled "The Unforgiving Minute&quo...Try a book titled "The Unforgiving Minute" I reviewed it on my site a while ago...it was tremendous. It is about a kid who goes to West Point and then Iraq...stops at Oxford and Ranger School in between. Also.."
