Quarantine Reading
Coal Creek Griff:
I was looking for a little light reading to mix in with my regular history books. This one was right on target. What do you read when you're stuck at home?

;D Very fine choice my man. Anything by Louis is on my list, Love all the Sackett stories and the Kilkenny series.
LongWalker:
I've always got a list of books I want to find time to read. This time around, I blew $20 on 20 of Amazon's 99 cent copies of bios, "just in case". Should be enough reading there to keep me busy for a while.
BTW, some of those books are an outright steal. I paid $300 for my first copy of Chittenden's history of the fur trade back in high school. When it was finally re-printed, I snagged the reprints for about $40 and sold the first editions for about what I paid for them 20 years earlier. I just bought "back-up copies" for the Kindle: $.99 each.
The Kindle offerings aren't perfect (I still prefer the feel of a book in my hands), but they do allow be to access references I couldn't otherwise locate or afford (or in the case of peripheral interests like the settlement of TX, justify). Now if someone would just "Kindle-ize" Hafen's work. . . .

I have a lot of books on my "to read" shelf too. ;)

Dirty Dick:
Started re-reading my entire collection of W.E.B.Griffin novels, 'Hell' I Was There' by Elmer Keith, and watching Foyles War in the evening.
