    Going to try to read "In Harms Way" on my flight back from Maui next weekend. Got about 100 pages in on my last trip but I am going to start over from the beginning because I can't remember what I read from last time.

    'The Bunker' by JP O'Donnell. I'm still on the rather long prologue, he was one of the first Americans to enter Adolf's complex after the war. So far ++.

    Just started 'Walden' by Thoreau. Anyone read it?
    My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.

    If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!

    Yep, waaaaay back in high school.... I think the edition I read was on papyrus. It's good, I've been thinking of picking it up again.

    Started last night, "Dies Irae: Day of Wrath" - William Forstchen(One Second After) - recommend it highly.


    Read recently and thinking I will recommend to daughter that she read them with oldest grandson. They are not too graphic or harsh yet still have strong impact for younger readers.

    I just finished Planet of The Apes. Pretty easy read and not what the movies were at all. Of the three versions: Planet of The Apes with President Heston, the one with Wahlberg and the book, I'll take the Heston version as the best story.

    Now I am on to "Undaunted Courage" by Ambrose.

    "The Man in the High Castle" by Phillip K Dick is something that would be interesting to WWII history buffs (RONIN). It is set in a reality where Germany and Japan won WWII. It's only 225 pages long.
