Good Books to Read

[Bucky]

Just read A Species With Amnesia: By Robert Sepehr. In an easy read he debunks the out of Africa myth.

Plan on reading Mari Dice's new Book Hollywood Propaganda or something along those lines.

Also have Walk On This Way by Joel Nellis and Jake Kocorowski They detail the tradition that Alvarez brought with him from Nebraska and implemented it to perfection with Wisconsin.

I would not say this is a good book but it will make you stop and look around and see what is going in our world. It's "Covid-19 The Great Reset" by Klaus Schwab & Dr. Thierry Mullaret. They want you to believe that a Dystopian society would be a good way to live your life. A friend of mine who also read it said it was the elite's handbook for one world order and I have to agree.

About 80 pages in to Mark Dice's latest book Hollywood Propaganda and it is great as he cites sources for all the Anti American/White/Christian propaganda woven in to their scripts.

I think I'll give it a break for tonight as it's very frustrating/maddening to see how this has all been unfolding. I figured page 84 was as good as any to stop for tonight. 400,000 anchor babies born in 2019. Demographics are Destiny and our Destiny ain't looking so good.

Thanks for the recommendation. My friend has been raving about Sepehr's based twitter account - he's got quite a chip on his shoulder. I'm gonna pick this one up.

He's awesome and one of the only Anthropologists/Historians I can think of that calls out Marxist takeover. He also has about 100+ videos on YT if you ever want to give those a listen. I'll be ordering another of his books soon!

I would recommend "The Worker" by Ernst Junger. Philosophy and kind of hard to read but has some excellent insights.

A bit unlike anything else listed here but a tremendous series of historical fiction for me is the Sharpe Series by Bernard Cornerll.

it chronicles the military adventures and career of private Richard sharpe in 21 novels.

mice read the first 8 or 9 and I have to say they are great page turning escapism.

they are also (this far) delightfully free of leftist nonsense.

they may be a bit formulaic to be considered literature but as fun historical fiction they are tough to top

i actually just finished reading Sharpe’s Eagle last night. it’s an entertaining, straightforward adventure series (much like the westerns and other novels written by Louis La’Mour), but thankfully devoid of “muh diversity” and politically correct garbage.

Earlier this summer I ordered "The Last Kingdom" by Cornwell. Still haven't gotten around to reading it yet!

 

[SneakyQuick]

I just finished sharpe’s gold. I’m burning through them quickly. Cornwell is a gifted writer in my view. Terrific Page turning stuff.


Also, Jimmy c. If you like sharpe you also need to checkout the flashman books. Bit more of anti-hero is Flash but man are they absorbing. Great summer reading

Pick this book up at a thrift store. Worth every penny. Artie Lange's "Too Fat to Fish" is a riot. What a life he has led and still be around.

 

[SneakyQuick]

Artie is a sad story now. He was always a clown though. I know guys who graduated HS w him and said he was always funny as hell.

what are the “flashman books,” sir? i’m always looking for a good book to read.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

“Scythe” is an interesting take on a rosy future where mankind has maximized all scientific knowledge, and thus can no longer die ... unless one is intentionally killed by a Scythe, an Order of people instructed to terminate random people permanently. only, in this ideal world, the order of Scythes has become corrupt, prompting one of the Order to turn on his fellows ...

written at the young adult level, the first two books in the series are quite enjoyable, especially the first one. however, in the third installment the author, Neal Shusterman, succumbs to the modern politically correct mafia and goes all social justice warrior.

Flashman is a series of historical fiction written by George MacDonald Fraser. They are very similar timeline to the Richard sharpe books only much more humorous.

mid you like the sharpe series I’d encourage you to try these. Very funny stuff coupled w a ton of action.

Hey Jimmy

These are some other series I’ve tried recently (I’ve been into historical fiction this year as a welcome respite from the weirdness and insane volatility of financial markets).

1. Sharpe - a+. I think it’s one of the best historical series around. I think I will probably read Cornwell’s other series after
2. Flashman a+ also. It’s so good I’m sure you will like it. Also as a stand alone try captain in calico - Great pirate novel. Fraser also wrote a good memoir of his time in Burma during ww2 quartered safe out here. Good book
3. Anything by Charles McCarry - “bride of the wilderness”especially, but also “Lucky Bastard”
4. Stuart Neville - jack Lennon series. The ghosts of Belfast was terrific launch of a small series A-
5. Couple of Michael Crichton books that were not sci fi and more historical fiction
Dragons teeth and pirate latitudes. Both great page turners. I think his science fiction stuff was quite good too but I am less of a sci fiction fan so I think either of these very worth the read.


Now that hockey is over good to have some escapist fiction to fall back on!

Ken Follett is a better author than Cornwell.

His Kingsbridge series is excellent:

• The Evening and the Morning (2020)
• The Pillars of the Earth (1989)
• World Without End (2007) (the TV series wasn't so good though, it was very different than the book)
• A Column of Fire (2017)

I read a ken follett book probably 20 years ago and so I don’t remember it very well, but will give him another look for sure.

 

[SneakyQuick]

Read “a place called freedom” by follett and i enjoyed it quite a lot. I am not 100% sure I consider him better than Cornwall but it’s great to be able to sample both. Again delightfully free of PC BS and Both are excellent writers.


Also I just started listening to the audio book of the original Tarzan series “Tarzan of the apes”. It’s pretty gripping and a lot better than I was expecting to be honest. Turns out Edgar rice Burroughs is somewhat controversial figure now, known for his views on the heritability of intelligence and other characteristics. He was a massively prolific author as well so if you do end up liking his style the good news is there is plenty of it.


I think most of the forum readers here would enjoy this. It’s more entertaining than the old Johnny Weissmuller movies by miles.

It’s pretty remarkable as I look back on my life that I haven’t read more Burroughs and Kipling but I plan to remedy it.
