RIDING ROCKETS by Mike Mullane


Best book I've read by far, and I read a pathetically large amount of books....

"I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" by Tucker Maxx :beer:

Best book ever!!

 

[JustaNumber]

Creature from Jekyll Island....

I'll second this one. Learn about the history of money, the banking system, and how the Federal Reserve fits into our current financial system. It reads like an exciting detective novel, and it's so clearly written even a regional pilot can understand it all. It changed the way I look at what the government (both parties) does with money and the banking industry. A must read for today's economic mess.

Another excellent one is The 5000 Year Leap. It explains why our founding fathers came up with the American system of government. They didn't just come up with something off the tops of their heads, they thoroughly researched all the successful societies throughout history, and figured out what historically had really brought peace, stability, and prosperity. This book explains the principles that they found were necessary to make it all work. Another must read during today's political confusion.

I'll second that. Then after finishing The 5000 Year Leap. Read Liberty and Tyranny.

The first will tell you where this country started from, the second will tell you where we are at. The difference will astound and anger you.

If you like politics and the Middle East try "The Devil We Know" by Roberty Baer (former CIA Officer). (non fiction) It's about Iran and very interesting.

[WayBack]

The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. You will be stunned about where the world was as is going due to globalization. Basically it summarizes we in America are becoming dumber.

You have to read a book to figure that one out?
Just talk to a high school student. Even better, look how many people voted for this Mickey Mouse President we have.

MESA SUX

-By Anne Frank

(A real page-turner)

 

[Thurman Merman]

I just finished up "Scorpion Down", which was a fantastic book on the loss of the nuclear submarine Scorpion in 1968...Good read and pretty insightful regarding the rise of the Russian Navy and there's even a little conspiracy theory in there.

Right now, I'm reading a book on submarine warfare called "Blind Mans's Bluff". It's a compilation of several submarine stories from the cold war. It's pretty entertaining due to the clandestine nature of submarines and their role durring the Cold War.

"Three Engines, Half a Wing, and a Prayer" is also a great book. It's about B-17's in Europe, and it chronicles what crewmembers went through in combat. It covers several of the more famous raids in WWII and the losses associated with them. I really enjoyed this one and it really put into context what the "Greatest Generation" went through, and made me want to keep their sacrifices on the fore front of my memory.

If you like submariner stories I just read a great book about two sister boats in WWII, "A Tale of Two Subs." It's still in hardback as it just came out. Quick read and a page turner. I'll read and have read anything WWII above the surface but after reading this book, I have picked up more WWII sub stories. Fact is truly greater than fiction.
