Monte1076 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I recently finished "The Prince", and I'm currently reading a book on applying Computer Algorithms to your daily life. The book is "Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions". In my queue, I have "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C", as well as "Song Starters: 365 Lyric, Melody, & Chord Ideas to Kickstart Your Songwriting". Within the last year, I've also read "Zero to One", and I need to finish "How to Build a Billion Dollar App". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You'll have to bear with me, I've got a weird kind of ADD which means that I'm usually reading 6-7 different books at any given time. Here's what I'm in the middle of right now: Whiplash: How to Survive Our Faster Future (Joi Ito) Gulag Archipelago (Aleksander Solzhenitsyn) We Were Eight Years in Power (Ta-Nehisi Coates) Thinking in Pictures (Temple Grandin) Modern Man in Search of a Soul (Carl Jung) Social Engineering: Art of Human Hacking (Chris Hadnagy) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, I burned through them way back in my teens. My grandmother had the complete set. That iconic white canvas with blue/red trim. To this day every time I see them on my dad's bookshelf I'm filled with nostalgia. Have you read any Cormac McCarthy? It's practically required reading for a Grey/L'Amour fan. Right up your alley, Kirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All The Pretty Horses should be redone as a miniseries like Lonesome Dove. Too good of a story to break down into 2 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too good of a story to break down into 2 hours. Yes, that was a good movie ... reminded me a lot of some of the Zane Grey stories ... Matt Damon, like Tom Cruise, is a very good actor ... I just wish they had some common sense in real life ... Edited March 27, 2018 by KirtFalcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing about McCarthy, he proves all them little pesky punctuation marks (commas & quotation marks) are useless Btw, if you like a combination of western, savagery, mysticism, and blood, Blood Meridian is the book for you. My favorite is No Country for Old Men. Maybe because IR1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is No Country for Old Men. Maybe because IR1. Lol, maybe so, but I don't share his faith in his readers. When I start publishing I'm gonna go ahead and include commas and etc. Blood Meridian and No Country are both amazing. I love everything of McCarthy I've read. The Road is probably my favorite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarthDawg77 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I went to an Estate Sale yesterday & bought a book for $2.00 entitled “Killing Patton: The strange death of WWII’s most audacious general” by Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard. I plan to dive into this book this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarthDawg77 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Update: Re:”Killing Patton”.... This book took off like a rocket! I can’t wait to read the rest of it, So far, Three thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarthDawg77 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Finished reading “Killing Patton” @1:30 this morning. Very compelling evidence pointing to a plot to kill him; The truth may never come out. Very good read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarthDawg77 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Nearly 1/2 way through this book of 333 pages... It’s riveting information, but clearly written by a Brit, (Luke Harding) & reading things spelt different takes a little getting used to! I think Snowden is a Patriot for exposing the NSA, the CIA, & The FBI’s illegal data mining under the guise of National Security... Too bad he’ll have to spend the rest of his life in Russia to avoid extradition, trial & probably execution once convicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
