Thanks for the suggestions. I read "Lone Survivor". Excellant book. I also read "Unbroken". That is in my top 5 books I have ever read. The author did an excellant job so I figured "Seabiscuit" would be good. Maybe I'll pick up that book.
A few books I would recommend would be "The Garden of Beast", "1776", "With the Old Breed", "Odessa Files", "Night Falls", any book by Matt Haig and "Fast Food Nation".
If you have come into flying by the civillian route, read "Moondogs flight academy and other air disasters." Really funny.
