I just finished this book on a Near Death experience from a former Art Professor that went to Hell then Heaven called "My Descent into Death."
Amazing stuff.
Anyone reading anything?

Does "Between your Moms Legs" count as a book? Because I've read that one up and down and front to back.
You must be a poor because you can buy that one for 99 cents.
Haha. Bazinga. But seriously, I don't ever read books. I always wished I had the patience to do it. I read Dave Ramsey's books a couple years ago but have forgotten most of it.
The last book before those that I read was some random one at the entrance to the Best Buy I worked for 10 years ago. I worked the front and the managers would spend a few minutes a night locking up money and such so I would read a few pages every night. I don't think I even finished it but I remember liking it.
A good book is "Under The Bleachers" by the author
Seymour Butts. On his bucket list was to visit every
MLB Stadium and get tickets to sit in the bleachers.
He then shares his adventures of going under the
bleachers from the 5th to the 9th inning.

I think you were reading the weekly sales flyer. Was it mostly pictures?
I suggested Killers of the Flower Moon in the last book recommendation thread, a true crime story of Osage Indians and who was killing them off.
Now I'll say the Fourth Realm Trilogy by John Twelve Hawks. A kind of fantasy series, but definitely has some present day themes about Big Brother, and privacy. Thought provoking and entertaining reads.

Just for the heck of it I decided to read some first person history.
I just finished John Reed's "Insurgent Mexico" (on the ground in the Mexican revolution with Pancho Villa and others). Brilliant.
Now reading his "Ten Days That Shook the World" when he went to cover the revolutionary stirrings and Russia's participation in WWI in Czarist Russia and found himself in the middle of the fight between the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks for control of the Russian revolution. Keeping all the Russian names straight and who was on which side is a bit tricky, but it's powerful stuff.
Other recent reads that I can recommend are
Matt Taibbi's Insane Clown President
George Friedman's Flashpoints
Neil deGrasse Tyson's Astrophysics for People in a Hurry
Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus

In the last two months I read Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears and Debt of Honor, all entertaining Tom Clancy novels.
I also read a Great Place to Have a War, which made me seem smart in Laos.

I like scifi for fun, and am currently reading the most recent book in the Old Man's War series. Pretty good light reading, imo.
