Back in Louisville recently and hit the bookstore with Mom. Here's our starting pile:
Many of these came from Al Mohler's summer reading list.
After much debate, thumb wrestling and staring contests, we decided on the following:
1. Blood Feud - Mom's working on this one. Explores the story of the the famous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys.
2. The Art of Intelligence - My wife grabbed this off the pile and has already finished it. She can't get enough of spies and special forces.
3. The President's Club - My choice to start with. Worked about 1/2 way through it so far and am enjoying the insider information about a very exclusive club.
I picked up Something's Rising on my own. Can't read enough about the tragedy of mountain top removal mining in Appalachia.
Do you have any summer reading recommendations?
Dad and I have finished Blood Feud. It was very interesting and all the more so since we live in Kentucky. We both thought it got a little dragged down by her comments on violence, etc. towards the end. It does make me want to avoid that part of the state now!
