Book Review: “Your Life” by Scot Spooner.
The book review. I have to make an edit. 1 x free beer chit to the first person to spot the mistake ;)
You will laugh, cry, get angry and put your hand over your mouth in shock all within the reading. Enjoy...and don't drink too much while reading it.
Today here is the Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore in 1942. Coincidentally I'm reading The Narrow Road To The Far North. It won the Man Booker Prize in 2014 & is very moving. It deals with the POWs' on the Thai-Burma railway, which those on this side of the ditch would be familiar with.
"The Dark Side of Man: Tracing the Origins of Male Violence". It was recommended to me by a MARSOC officer and family friend as one of the essential books for aspiring officers to read. The author was a platoon sergeant in Vietnam, but his inspiration for writing the book came from observing male chimpanzees commit murder, rape, and infanticide during a stint a researcher in Uganda in the 70's. Very interesting, I find the biological programming for male violence to be a fascinating topic.
Just male violence? Limiting and a little strange are my initial thoughts. Female humans and Chimps are also very violent.
This is the first graphic novel that shook me to my very core. The events in the middle of the book were just way too real and I had to put it down. Great fucking story. I couldn't think of any other author to tell this kind of tale.The White Donkey.
Finished Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it was a fun and fast read. The illustrations made it more fun and descriptive, would be nice if Winds of Winter had that going for it, but that would make it 3k pages long I'm sure.
Lawrence Wright's The Terror Years: From Al-Qaeda to the Islamic State. It is a collection of essay's that first appeared in The New Yorker. Wright also wrote The Looming Tower about Al Qaeda and 9/11 (a 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner) and Going Clear about Scientology (another great book). He's an excellent author.
