DO any of you own, or have you read through The Patriots Handbook by George Grant?

This is an amazing book that you don't just sit down and read as it's more of a reference book. It could take months to go through this book. It's billed as "A Citizenship Primer for a New Generation of Americans".

This is a great reference book which brings together so many of our historical documents. By his presentation, it appears that Dr. Grant is a true American Patriot.

I'm sure that there are multiple venues to acquire this book, but it can be found @ Barnes & Noble at:

Honestly I found it a bit of a letdown...some of the logic is seriously flawed...

Which book? Zombie Survival Guide or Patriots Handbook?

[Ridge]

Zombie Survival Guide...I mean, really, a dirt bike is the best means of transportation through an infested zone???

If you have never ridden a dirt bike on a stair stepped deer trail... I would personally like full armor, but there is something to be said for being able to move around a bit. It's the same reason spec ops don't wear helmets and heavy body armor. Yes, you have better protection, but you sacrifice the ability to move fast.

Fred Bears Field Notes. This guy was incredible. His hunts were amazing, like going to Fairbanks, Alaska and spending a month in nothing but a canvas lean-to. It is well written, and all the different species and areas he hunted were very interesting.

Along those same lines another of my favorite books is called Bullets, Blood, and Backstraps by M.L. Simmons. It is available at www.elknut.com and is about an "average joe" and his hunting in the state of Oregon. Great stories with the right amount of humor.

I also reccommend "Shooter" a true story about a sniper in Iraq and Rogue Warrior by Cmdr. Richard Marcenko. Rogue Warrior was one of those books you start, and can't put down until you finished. He also has a couple of other books out that I can't wait to read.

I've read all the Rogue Warrior books that's been awhile but they were all pretty good.

Try:
The Black Company

A merc company in a fantasy world. Caught between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" and thru circumstance winds up having to sign on with the villains but does what they can to sabotage them. First book is a bit slow as it sets up the world and the players, after that the series flies.

The Cross Time Engineer (Conrad Stargard Saga)

Fellow gets drunk, stumbles thru a time gate and finds himself in Poland 10 years before the Mongols overrun and kill everyone. Creates the steam engine, watered steel, animal husbandry...even includes references at the end of each book.

I'll second this and add pretty much anything written by Harry Turtledove. His entire long series of the alternative US history is a very good read.
