Some books that I like that are similiar to that are, One Mans Wilderness, Last Breath, Yukon Alone, and measure of a mountain. All of those are great books.Quote:

"Blood: An Epic History of Medicine and Commerce" by Douglas Starr ~ Seriously and EPIC history of blood. Great read! From being feared to being worshiped to a international commodity. Covers some shocking moments in history of greedy people exploiting fellow humans to the aids crisis. Really has shown the change and growth in the Blood Bank industry.
"A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard~ surprisingly good read thanks for the recommend Felicia
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen~great book loved how she jumped back and forth between the old guys memory and him as a young man
The kids have me hooked on Rick Riordan and the entire series of "The Lighting Thief" we finished those last year and now we have started the "The Hero's of Olympus Series" while driving in the car long distance.
"The Demon Under the Microscope" by Thomas Hagar ~ about the first antibiotic. Again a great science read not as good or riveting as Blood.
Currently working on "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean~ This one is really fascinating it covers a little history on each element of the periodic table.
Just about ready for another book looking for some recommends. I loved Felicia's last one so I guess I will take a look at Janet Evanovich and pick a book.
Currently reading through: The E-myth Revisited. Pretty great entrepreneurial book. Can't put it down.
I was just referred a book called: Awaken the Giant Within. Has anybody read this one?
Life-Autobiography of Keith Richards
Just finished No Country For Old Men
Oh yeah. I've read em in order - except for the stand alone books with Diesel. They are fluff but just when I think I ought to read something else I turn the page and laugh my arse off.
My kids like the Rick Riordan stuff - perhaps that's worth a go. "Blood" sounds really good, too, Cher
White Canyon, remembering the little town at the bottom of Lake Powell, by Tom McCourt.
I just finished reading Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman by Robert K Massie. Catherine was an extremely interesting Empress that left a lasting impression on Russian culture. She was headstrong, compassionate, and cared for her adopted country after leaving Germany at the age of fourteen. Her personal life was even more interesting - even torrid by today's standards. I highly recommend the book.
ESPN - Those guys have all the fun.
It's a good read if you are a sports fan.
"Unbroken"- the story of Olympic Runner and WWII hero, Louis Zamperini. Incredible what this guy had to go through after his B24 crashed over the Pacific. Can't put it down- a must, must, must read!
born to run, great book...lifes lessons learned, and my annual january read, desert solitare. Yes three, what can I say, the only way a guy with adhd can keep reading...
AWESOME, AWESOME BOOK!!!Quote:

By the suggestion of someone else I started reading:
Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins.... Probably one of the best books Ive ever sunk my brain into.
It basically helps you do anything.... crazy to explain... break bad habits, build your business, overcome fear of success and tons more.
Worth a read IMO.

Black Site by Dalton Fury
Attachment 51015
rom former Delta Force commander and New York Times bestselling author of Kill Bin Laden comes the first novel in an explosive new series.
After September 11, 2001, Delta Force troop commander Dalton Fury was given the secret mission to hunt down and kill the most wanted man in the world, the details of which were recounted in his extraordinary New York Times bestseller Kill Bin Laden. Now, Fury draws upon his hard-won combat experience—and his gift for true-to-life storytelling—to offer a brand-new series of thrillers that are as close to reality as readers can get.
Meet Kolt Raynor. A Delta Force operator and one-time American hero, he is still trying to make sense of his life—and duty—after a secret mission gone bad. Three years ago, in the mountains of Pakistan, Raynor made a split-second decision to disobey orders—one that got some of his teammates killed and the rest captured. Now he’s been given a second chance to do right by his country, his men, and himself. But Raynor’s shot at redemption comes at a price.
A shadowy group of former colleagues has asked Raynor to return, alone, to Pakistan’s badlands. His assignment seems clear: find his missing men and bring them home. What Raynor never expected was to uncover a sinister al Qaeda plot to capture a Black Site--a secret U.S.** prison--and destabilize the region. Meanwhile, a ruthless, unknown enemy is on his trail…and he will stop at nothing to make sure that Raynor’s mission is not accomplished.
An intense, gritty work of edge-of-your-seat suspense, Black Site is the first of what promises to be one of the most exciting fiction series of the new millennium.

Kiss or Kill, Confessions of a Serial Climber by Mark Twight.
Another highly recommended mountaineering book: Beyond the Mountain, by Steve House
Go for it! The next 2 are as good as the first but books 4 and 5 do slow down quite a bit, though I still enjoyed them. And I am not usually a fan of fantasy.Quote:
