Carrying the Fire by Michael Collins. Written three years after Apollo 11 (with 40th and 50th Anniversary introductions).

Very entertaining read. Collins is a gifted writer and who doesn't like a great Apollo program book, written at the time?

Ive been wanting to read Gulag Archipelago. I think we may share a common thread.
Finally listened to it on audiobooks. It’s fantastic.

if you want to truly understand what hard life is.
I thought that was an instruction manual.

We can make it work this time though, I know we can!

"I'm a Stranger Here Myself" - also by Bill Bryson. Use caution with this one. When I read it, I was literally laughing out loud. Can't read it in public without getting some strange looks!
I've definitely LOL'd to many of his books, such a great writer!

I'm a history guy and an Ambrose guy also, but I found this one to be a tough read. Kinda slow and lots of early 19th century manuscripts and narrative
Thanks for the heads up, planning to do some SILs might be a good hammock book when it warms up.

Added this to my list. Thanks

A book I highly recommend not reading unless you do so for morbid curiosity is “Three Feet to the Left”. About a United Captain’s recent “upgrade journey growth experience.” Supposed to be a business planning motivational type book. Throws all the United furloughees under the bus while chalking up his upgrade to superior planning and decision making. Absolutely tone-deaf garbage book, that was embarrassingly bad to read.

I agree, I'm 4 chapters in and he won't shut up about the flirtatious banter he and his wife enjoy

I know it's been mentioned but just finished a re-read of

Fate is the Hunter,

those old airline guys really stuck their necks out.
