The Last Season by Eric Blehm

---

His military books are great as well.

Six Bits a Day, The Good Old Boys, The Smiling Country.

Death in Big Bend was a very interesting easy read.

Rain of Gold

Currently trying to get started on 7 years in Tibet.

Also any book Jocko has covered on his podcast lol

Jocko's Reading List

I'm reading the Lonesome Dove series right now, I would recommend it

I'm mostly just posting here so I can come back & look at this list later

River of Doubt- About Theodore Roosevelt. I'll ready anything on him. We need more politicians like him.

Mornings on Horseback is one of my favorite books of all time. Timely read right now as well.

The Doorway Buck by CM Sackett
You will not be disappointed.
https://www.amazon.com/Doorway-Buck-CM-Sackett-ebook/dp/B004H4XNFE

Patriots launched me into a several year binge of similar type books. The sequels to Patriots were lacking though. Patriots is a manual wrapped in a novel.

Another great book if you like guns and the Second Amendment stuff, is Unintended Consequences. The high in quality hardcover copies with dust covers intact fetch (or used to) almost $300. Long, but great read.

After watching the last 12 hours...HOURS..of censorship overreach by media platforms and the vocal support for it, these two books will be eventually removed from shelves and/or the market at some point.


I have 4 books that I intend to leave my son upon my passing with instructions to never git rid of and keep to pass on to his kid as a bundle:

Patriots
1984
Unintended Consequences
The Bible

Heck where we are headed, all four might be contraband at some point.

Dad gum it, I knew Hewey Calloway was going to beat me in here to suggest the Hewey Calloway series.

The Hackberry Holland series.

Reading RiverBass' post of books was the most reading ive done this year.

I'd add the complete Foxfire series and Fahrenheit 451 to your collection.

The knowledge in the Foxfire books is priceless, and the stories are excellent.

As for F451, we always need to remember that we were warned of the dangers of censorship.

Paul Horgan's The Great River. It's a two-volume history of the Borderlands/American Southwest/Texas told from the perspective of the Rio Grande.

Came here to post this - incredible story, regardless of if you're a Teddy fan or not.

Hi) this topic is for designers but I know several reviewers to find book and movie reviews. I recently found a cool review https://freebooksummary.com/category/the-road of a Jack London book with themed visuals. I liked the gothic style with elements of tragic art. I associate Jack London with coldness and fear of desolation.

If you like archery and conservation...

Ishi & Elvis, by Jim Hamm. It's out of print so may take a little searching.

I've started reading Open Season by C.J. Box. It's the first book in a pretty long series of novels centered around a fictional Wyoming game warden, Joe Pickett. I'm pretty early into it but it's a good one so far.

---

My brother raves about the CJ Box books, but the ****ass has never offered to loan me one! This after I've loaned him several that I've never seen again. I love that guy. He's an old Ag fighting lymphoma and I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Currently reading his latest "Long Range". So far, so good. It's my first venture into more modern storytelling and it's strange to read lyrics to "Old Town Road" in a western(ish) novel. Made me realize I read a lot of old books with 0 reference to current pop culture.

Pat Conroy books.

I'd also recommend the Joe Pickett series by CJ Box to the OP if he's looking for fiction. Not the greatest storylines imo, but great at developing the characters and the settings imo.

It's coming to TV soon also.

"Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches" was a really good read, especially if you like Texas history.

Page 2, and no one has told the OP there is only ONE Good Book?!?! (unless I missed a post) Bunch of heathens on this board...

I am currently working through a Reader's CSB Bible, and really enjoying it! Reader's have no chapter or verse numbers, but the exact same text. It is amazing what a different experience it is, as it flows more like a narrative (or any other book we read). Makes some difference things come alive in the text.

Just finished Terminal List. Couldn't put it down. On to the next one in the series.

On the lighter side - anything by Pat McManus. Outdoor humor.

Isaac's Storm (true story of worst natural disaster in US history)

Endurance. (Incredible true story of Antarctic survival)

Speaking of John Graves. I really enjoyed "Myself and Strangers".

Living in Spain after the war, trying to be a novelist. Running in circles of the other famous expats. What a time to be alive.

Some fantastic suggestions here. Didn't see Beyond Fair Chase, and Meditations on Hunting so adding them to the list. Although good luck finding the latter, I had to read it on a pdf I found online.

Books by Thomas McGuane

Finally got around to finishing Comanche Moon.
I'm starting The Old Man And The Boy now then I'll go back to Lonesome Dove

A River Runs Through It.

Maclean's writing is more beautiful than the landscape in the story. Pure poetry.

The Eiger Sanction

Classic book. Nice mix of espionage and mountain climbing.

Just read this. Highly recommend. Very eye opening and written with different perspectives as multiple people on the expedition kept detailed journals.

The Revenant
Lonesome Dove
Sand County Almanac
Crow Killer - saga of Liver Eating Johnson

The last one is pretty good.

Who am I kidding they all are

Finished Lonesome Dove, Old Man And The Boy, The Old Man's Boy Grows Older & Don't Shoot the Decoys since I posted last on here.
LD is a classic of course as everyone knows.
The Old Man And The Boy is outstanding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you have not read it.

I think I'm going to order Duck Gods Must Be Crazy next since I'm on a duck hunting kick now after reading Decoys. Any other good bird hunting books to add to the list?

Been on a bit of a spiritual journey lately and just finished "Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander and it was pretty compelling. Currently reading "Code Breaker" by Walter Isaacson about the lady who invented CRISPR.

The Emerald Mile - good history of the Grand Canyon along with a narrative of taking a dory/drift boat through the length of it.
