OT: Book suggestions

[InKembaITrust]

One of, if not my favorite non-fiction book (although it has some fictitious nuance to it) is Mutiny on the Bounty.

Highly, highly, highly recommend it if you haven't read/listened to it already, such a fascinating story.

Started reading "The Great Bridge" by David McCullough - good book, but you need slot of time to get through, so I think that might be a good audiobook choice. Did finish Lost City of Z & that one also seems like a good choice.

Not a specific book, but I use the Goodreads app and you can get pretty good recommendations based on books you've previously read

I don't usually read military stuff but my friends older brother's book The Last Punisher was a good read. He did a couple tours with Chris Kyle and was actually the consultant for American sniper movie

If you’re a Bukowski fan I just read Post Office and really enjoyed it. Not a difficult read at all and is very entertaining.

I’m in a tough spot. Tough enough that asking you coconuts for advice actually makes sense.

I have six Audible credits and they’re warning me I’m going to lose one if I don’t start using them

I looked through and didn’t see any I liked, so I need book suggestions.

Parameters...

1) No fiction. I read enough of it here.

2) If I don’t like it, you’ll probably be banned.

3) Audible books take care of my commute — so longer books are better books.

City of Dreams: The 400-Year Epic History of Immigrant New York by Tyler Anbinder.

History of New York with a focus on the different waves of immigrants. I start a lot of long books and don’t finish - didn’t have that issue with this one.

"Monuments Men" was a good (movie not so much) & I 2nd "Unbroken".
