What boo/k/s are you reading right now?
What do you have on your backlog for Jesusmas break?
Get in here, literal armchair warriors.
>Just finished
"The Mighty Nimrod". A top tier biography, it's about F.C. Selous and his being a fucking cool dude in Africa in the late 19th century. A badass and a good guy.
>Reading
"A Splendid Savage". Biography about Fredrick Burnham, probably one of the most hardcore motherfuckers of all time and certainly one of the the most badass, skilled, hardcore and innawoods motherfuckers ever to come out of the American frontier lands. This guy was so fucking OPERATOR it really can't be overstated. Well written but not in the same class as the Selous biography.
>Next
Either "Commander" about Captain Edward Pellew, badass Royal Navy frigate captain during the Napoleonic era or "Technological Slavery"; the collected writings and manifesto of Theodore Kaczynski aka the motherfucking Una Bomber, who, if you didn't know already, is /k/ as fuck and literally a genius. Had some pretty good ideas about things minus the murder parts.
Bump
I should've known day/k/are was mostly illiterate.

Neat. I'll look into the one about the Unabomber for sure.
I will finally be getting into Clausewitz "On War" after I finish reading my current book as I've never actually read "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea". Any other suggestions for military philosophy, other than Sun Tzu and Napoleon?

Hitler Slept Late and Other Blunders that Cost Him the War by James E Duffy

Armageddon: The Battle for Germany, 1944-1945 by Max Hastings
>>32313689
'The Arms of Krupp,' William Manchester.
'Tale of the Heike,' Helen Craig McCullough translation.
I buy cheap novels at second hand shops and read them at work. Usually their shit but this ome was good, had a strong military feel and good clever writing that stuck with me for a few days. When it was over i wanted more, not because it was incomplete but because it was good.

Currently reading "Never Surrender" by Jerry Boykin. Also reading "Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis

Is Science Fiction because it involves magic. But it also involves medieval battle practices with melee weapons. Kings and Bandits, trinkets etc.
Anyway Patrick Rothfus King Killer Chronicles. If you even remotely like GOT I think this series is 3x better.

I've just started to re-read "Blood Meridian" by Cormac Mccarthy. Has a surreal feel, steeped in ultraviolence.
