Currently reading:

The Holy Bible
Patriots
Day by Day Armageddon
2008 National Electrical Code
 
I just finished "The last American Man". Not really something I'd recommend. It was well written but I didn't care for the same ol' spiritual philosophy/world view that comes with so many of these types of books. They just come off as preachy.
Later,

Romans 10:9
 
I'm reading "Tobacco Road" and just finished "GOD's Little Acre" both by Erskine Caldwell.
BTW, "GOD's Little Acre" (the original from 1958 not the crappy remake in 1967) can be had on video and is a really great old movie to watch. Your library system probably has a big selection of these very old classics.
I'm also reading my Bible which is daily nourishment for me. (Maybe one day It'll soak in and I'll change my ways!)
 
A Walk in the Woods is fantastic.

I'm currently reading "River of Doubt," the story of Theodore Roosevelt's disasterous journey down an unmapped section of the Amazon in 1912 or so. Funny how not many people know that Roosevelt was a bit of an adrenaline junkie... Very good so far, though I'm only 40 or 50 pages in.

I just finished "Emergency, this book will save your life!"

Pretty good read, not a how to, more of a survivalist coming of age story.

Next on the list is "Patriots" but I haven't ordered it just yet.
Click to expand...

Same here. I've got my copy of "Patriots" on order when it comes out. I really enjoyed "Rescue," as did my wife.

I've also been intermittently reading "Six Ways In & Twelve Ways Out" by George W. Jasper of the United States Rescue and Special Operations Group. So far it seems like a no BS, keep your arse alive survival manual. I'm just about through the latest TK too, then I need to catch up on the NRA mags.

I'm going to pick up "Atlas Shrugged" as soon as I can make it to the library.
 
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
by Jane Austin with a little help from Seth Grahame-Smith
 
A Tom Brown "The Tracker" ,a Rex Stout, Procedures for work, Various books to learn French and all my RSS feeds.

On the horizon, I have a few more Tom Brown's and Rex Stout cuz they are laying around. Need to hit up the bookstore badly.
 
Currently reading The Terror by Dan Simmons. It's based on the true story of the Franklin expedition of 1845 that was in search of the North-West Passage.
Before that I re-read AJ Quinnell's Black Horn.
 
CSS: The Missing Manual.

For something more wilderness survialish, I'm about to download Cody Lundin's 98.6 Degrees onto my Kindle. (Kindle 1 . . . oh the pains of early adoption...)

Scratch 98.6 Degrees. Far too many errors in the sample download. Seems like they just converted it with no editing to make sure the program got it right. Guess I'll pick it up in paper form.

I'm on the last few pages of World War Z, once I'm done, I'm checking out this true survival story about 2 climbers and a near death experience called, Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival. It was recommended to me by my business professor who's a hardcore adventurer.


NOT A SPOILER, just a intro of what it's suppose to be about.

It's about two guys who go climbing and one of them gets injured in a bad storm. They're hanging on this ledge for their life, both are tied together. The friend has no choice but to cut his other injured friend loose, leaving him for dead. But...well the rest you need to read because I have no idea what happens. It's suppose to be an awesome book for us wilderness/survival guys.
 
Annapurna by Maurice Herzog.

The story of the first assent of the title mountain, an 8000+ meter peak in Nepal, in 1950. Man, and I though I had been on some miserable trips! :eek:
 
Just finished "Old Wives' Tales" by Thomas Craughwell. It's a look at whether 100 old wives' tales are true or not, using today's science. A light read, but some of the "science" seemed a little anecdotal to me.

Before that it was "What Would MacGuyver Do? True Stories of Improvised Genius in Everyday Life."

As you can tell, I am not the serious reader some of you are...
 
currently "Guide for the New Health Care Profeessional" and the 80 plus pages of handout that go with it, until next week then I get in to medical terminalogy.
