Books

I don't have a TV so, for any who are interested, here is the best of what I have read recently:

Wild at Heart  by John Eldredge - Evaluation of Christian Masculinity from a personal perspective. Less academic, good inspiration. Female corollary = Captivating (though I haven't read it yet). Makes you want to be (or I suppose be with) a stronger Christian man.

Band of Brothers By Stephen Ambrose -  Classic. Inspiration for the WWII Spielberg HBO series. Makes you proud of the generations before you.

Born to Run - investigates the culture of ultra-running and why we shouldn't wear shoes when we run (is Nike evil?), unless they are Vibram five fingers or ancient sandal-types.Makes you want to run forever.

Lone Survivor - Marcus Luttrell. Navy SEAL stuck behind enemy lines in the worst part of Afghanistan. True story told by the only survivor of a SEAL team. Powerful but violent. Makes you want to simultaneously join the SEALs or avoid war at all costs.

WAR - Sebastian Junger - Junger travels through Afghanistan with a team of US Army GI's through Afghanistam campaign. Lots of good anecdotes and some insight into the psychology of a modern infantry soldier. Definitely makes you want to avoid being a GI in the afghan front.

Three Cups of Tea - Gregg Mortensen - Low-income high-alpine climber builds schools in Pakistan after a tiny village at the base of K2 saves his life. Makes you want to quit your job and change the world.

What have you read recently that was worthwhile recommending?

P.S. Kindles are only $189 now. Take the plunge. Buy a light and a cover to go with it. You won't regret it.
