Pentagon warns former SEAL about bin Laden book - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/30/world/asia/us-seal-book-bin-laden/index.html?hpt=hp_t3)

Anybody gonna read this money-grab book by this guy? Hope he understands he could be putting soldiers in harms way in the future if he gives up tactical and strategy info. Eff it, its more important for this guy to get rich. Gotta admit im interested, but will pass.

Anybody reading anything good lately?

The news and the left would not shut the F up when we went into Iraq and was more concerned about making Bush look bad then the lives of our military. Now the left and media have a problem with this book on an event that's over. If it does give out strategy info he should not have done the book and I agree with you.

I'll second that. Sure I want to hear about the raid that killed Bin Laden, but not at the expense of anything that could put the lives of Seals in jeopardy.

Currently listening (Audible on RAZR) to Anatomy of Violence by Adrien Raine.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in why we function the way we do.

Anyone read The Road?

I saw the movie the other night and after reading some reviews they all seem to agree the book is much better.
Phenomenal book.

Movie sucked- but the book absolutely blew me away.

I would also recommend, "City of Thieves".

It's written by Benioff (does some Game of Thrones screen play stuff).

He was interviewing his Grandfather for stories of besieged Leningrad during WWII, and he kept implying to him that he wouldnt be able to portray his story accurate enough or well enough to do it justice.

His Grandfather replied, "well... you're a story teller... write what you want and make up the rest".

Great book.

I'm going to have to agree with this assessment.

Greetings and Happy Fourth....
Perhaps the day reminds me, but I have been meaning to for some time. I need a suggestion for a non-fiction account of the Revolutionary War. I read mostly novels but get off the wagon occasionally for the "non". I do not do well with tedious or text book style research material. If you have a recommendation. I would thank you in advance for your suggestion!

recently read chuck palahniuk's Diary, Pygmy and Survivor.
also finally finished reading the first Game of Thrones book . .

about 100 pages into the Godfather .. amazing how the movie is exactly like the book. puzo doesnt get enough credit for being the creator/mind behind the story, all coppolla had to do was follow the book exactly.

it is a really good read. found it at my parent's house. the edition is probably 40+ years old, yellow brittle pages and failing apart.

I like Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis and John Adams by David McCullough a lot. But are you looking for something about the war itself, like a military book?

Joyland by Stephen King; good summer read; quick and easy but full filling.
