re: 3rd book, from the family that got me hooked, apparently, he is a bit of a perfectionist and it took him 7+ years of editing to get the first two out... not looking forward to the wait for #3, almost done with #2... now you have me nervous, lol

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan.
Man, our food industry is really screwed up. But regardless I recommend this book to anyone who's interested in knowing something about your food and where it comes from/ how it's made. Pollan is good because he isn't "preachy" and generally sticks to reporting instead of proselytizing most of the time.

I will add this to my list.

Reading some good ones...
"Feeding Dogs: The Science Behind the Dry vs. Raw Debate" - Dr Conor Brady
Really eye-opening book. Highly recommend for anyone with a 4-legged furry companion... and really, has some great info for us 2-legged peeps as well.
"A Good Man: Rediscovering my Father, Sargent Shriver" - Mark Shriver
Just started, but heartwarming read about a Wonderful Man & Father (and founder of the Peace Corps)

Led Zeppelin: The Biography, by Bob Spitz
Yeah, just what the World needs, another Zep bio... have read more than my share, and am really enjoying this one too... it is a little drier in writing style than say 'Hammer of the Gods' so far, ie, more factualish historical account than back of the tour bus/hotel rooms kinda thing...

This thing still on? I found Ozzy's autobiography at a thrift store. Helluva read and in Ozzy's voice.
Also just read
A Gentleman in Moscow
by Amor Towles. I'm big into Russian literature so this was right in my wheelhouse. Outstanding read.

Been reading The Last Battle by Cornelius Ryan. I was always a WWII buff but this guy did some amazing research talking with various citizens, spies, members of all the warring parties including high ranking Nazi officials. The Nazi propaganda machine had always made it clear that the Soviets were sub-human so victory was absolutely necessary. Goes without saying that when the Red Army entered Berlin they made good on the propaganda.

Just finished The Japanese Holocaust. I knew imperial Japanese army and navy were savages but did not realize they still deny the atrocities they committed. General MacArthur allowed for emperor Hirohito to NOT be tried as a war criminal. The author had a great statement about that. He said MacArthur should have put a sword on the table and insisted that he adhere to Japanese tradition of seppuku.
