A couple great books
« on: May 05, 2010, 11:39:12 PM »
Hi guys, I'm new here. But have been watching the forum for awhile. Anyway I have just read a couple great books. The first is Glenn Beck's "Common Sense"  it will open your eyes!  The other I am reading right now, is really good and I didn't know much about the guy before reading this. It's Ron Paul's "The Revolution: A Manifesto"  He comes acrossed as a very intelligent man. Hope you'll check these out.

I finally finished  Ayn Rand's  "Atlas Shrugged" .... a bit dated, but the parallels to what is going on today are scary.

Monster Hunter International  ;D

Not the most intellectual, but one of most fun books I've read in a long time.

I would highly reccomend "On Combat" by Lt. Col Dave Grosman. This book will change your outlook on just how you view the world and such. Dave also wrote "On Killing" a pulitzer nominated study on deadly force. I highly reccomend both books.  "On Combat" gave us the famous sheepdog article. "On Combat" really is more geard to the military or LEO, but many of the ideas in this book are very applicable to CCW or those that to defend themselves.

I would highly recommend anything by Joyce Lee Malcolm.  She has written a number of well-researched, historical books on Second Amendment rights and the correlation (or lack thereof) between guns and violence.  Her book To Keep and Bear Arms was cited in the recent McDonald v. City of Chicago decision by Justice Alito.

I'm currently reading Guns and Violence the English Experience.  It's DEEPLY researched and a bit difficult to get through at times but incredible background information to have.

Just  finished Jesse Ventura's   "Don't start the revolution without me"
Good read, he comes acrossed as very intelligent. I hope he runs in 2012, we need some new blood. Sorry off the subject, anyway might be interesting to you to read this book and see his take on things. Oh yeah he is a former Navy SEAL. Talks some about that also.

I really enjoyed Matthew Bracken's Enemies Series

-Enemies Foreign and Domestic
-Domestic Enemies: La Reconquista
-Foreign Enemies and Traitors

They're fast paced fiction from a member of the Gun Culture.

And Monster Hunter Vendetta was continued fun with the MHI crew (I picked up the E-ARC version from Baen books over the summer)!
