This is a fun read.

Naked Lunch book by William S. Burroughs

Harbinger 1 and Harbinger 2 by Jonathan Kahn. Intriguing scriptural connections between the fall of Israel and 9/11/USA.

I finished Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell this morning. It's a really great read, quick of Luttrell's sole escape from the Taliban. Even with his plain writing style, it had me tearing up on the plane as I was getting to the end of it this morning.

I had Hillbilly Elegy by Vance in my bag, so I got into it some of it on the plane, looking forward to it.

I bought a copy (it was my free book from Thriftbooks) of Charlie Wilson's War. Read a little this afternoon. It is a dense book, but I'm fascinated by the story.

I'll provide updates on these two as I complete them.

I've really enjoyed the memoirs of US Grant. He has a way...the turn of a phrase. Dry witted fella.

Mathematics was very easy to me, so that when January came, I passed the examination, taking a good standing in that branch. In French, the only other study at that time in the first year's course, my standing was very low. In fact, if the class had been turned the other end foremost I should have been near head. I never succeeded in getting squarely at either end of my class, in any one study, during the four years. I came near it in French, artillery, infantry and cavalry tactics, and conduct.
