She only watches ABC, HGTV, and Bravo, but she won’t let me cut the cable. I haven’t given up yet but I’m losing the battle so far.

Just released a couple of months ago is: Metabolical by Robert Lustig. If you want to become knowledgeable about nutrition related health issues check it out:

"The Power Of The Dog" Trilogy by Don Winslow. One of the most intense books I have read. Makes you rethink the war on drugs.
"Islamic Fascism" by Hamed Adbel-Samad. Written by an Islamic scholar who studied at the American University in Cairo. Debunks a lot of myths that are hijacked by fundamentalists and extremists. Makes you think about religion in general.
If you need something for the better half:
"The Murmur of Bees" by Sofia Segovia
"Tell Me Who I Am" by Julia Navarro

One Bullet Away by Nate Fick is a great complement to Generation Kill.

I love this thread.
Short, pithy, to the point, and proves that [some] pilots are actually interested in reading something longer than 500 words. At least a half dozen books picked up and read based on postings here; I'd get more, but life is short, I've my own mountain of books to read.
I'll bump it every 3 months forever unless the mods close it.
As you were.

Agreed, great thread! Here are three I just finished:
The Afghanistan Papers by Craig Whitlock. Newly released candid histories/lessons learned interviews from military/political “leaders” throughout 20 year war in AFGH.
The Plague Cycle by Charles Kenny. History of pandemics throughout the ages. Loved the narrative about Napoleon’s army struggling with typhoid during retreat from Russia.
Cheated by Andy Martino. Investigative report on 2017 Astros sign stealing scandal.
