Just finished Citizen Soldiers, am working on The Indianapolis which seeks to clear the name of the captain of the ill fated cruiser in ww2 which was sunk and most of its men left to be eaten by sharks. Citizen soldiers was excellent.

I like the chapter on animal sacrifice. Very handy reference. It's so confusing trying to figure out whether you need to burn up a sheep or a goat or if a chicken will be ok....

from what i hear the 49th isnt as good as the 48th.i have the 48th and have never had a chance to check it out. idk if you got it just for reading or for load tables but, lyman also makes a good cast bullet book with some good recipes for lead loads.

I got it for the load tables.

I was working from the 42nd edition, as well as tables from the internet for years. The 42nd has been around since I was a kid (1960 print date, I think)...dad picked it up at a garage sale years ago. The binding is broke, the spine is held together with duct tape, and it's missing pages. It's been well used and worn over the years. Judging from what I saw in the 49th edition, I won't have to use the internet and various printed pages that were collected over the years.

I'm picking up the remainder of the reloading casts, dies, and other supplies next week from the farm. The shop is almost done, and we'll be setting up a bench dedicated to reloading in what is currently my work shop. I'm getting excited about this turn in life.

Let's see:

The last issue of American Rifleman that showed up while I was reading The World at War, one of about 30 books I indirectly inherited when a friend's WWII Marine vet grandfather died. I've been working my way slowly through them for about two years now. Most are about WWII or the American Civil War, with a few others thrown in. The Philosophy of Aristotle was one that took me about a year to force myself through, and I'm afraid I didn't get a lot out of it.

Before that I was about 2/3 of the way through the Marine Corps Reading List, and I'll probably resume that later. I'm in the Navy, and we have our own reading list, but the Marine list is more applicable to the Seabees, of which I'm one.

One soldiers story of WWII in the Pacific. Since I lived in Micronesia on Saipan and Palau (Peleliu) it's an amazing story of hell.


finished both a bit back but worth listing here.

That's because you was alive when the Holy Bible was written. Cars are so much better than chariots, aren't they?

I really wish I was a reader. I want to be a reader. I'd love to sit down for a couple hours at a time and read like my wife. My brain has other plans. I've got to read things 2-3 times before it really registers. I can read 20-30 pages and come to the realization that I have no idea what I just read and have to go back and start over again. Interestingly, that is less of an issue if I'm reading off a Kindle or the Kindle app on my phone.

Nothing overly exciting at the moment. Currently Sales Techniques by William Brooks. Thankfully I'm not in sales per se, but I've got 5 reps who are used to being left to their own devices who I am currently transitioning to a semi-process. I've got to buy into it if I expect them to.

Other than that, just the Spring Issue of Beer Connoisseur, the e-version of the June issue of Golf Course Industry and Green Industry Distribution.

Is that the issue which comes in the convenient 6 pack version?
