Most of us don't know enough of what has gone before our time, or our own time to not repeat the same. The current book of history that I am reading is pretty dry, it deals mostly with the economic battles that went on to develop the train lines in the Northern Plains along the Medicine Line. I've been working on this book for quite a while. I think the next book will be on local history, any suggestions?
Hmmm... I hate to burst the illusion of my omniscience, but I need a good, solid hint as to who you are if I am to give a tailored suggestion for next books to read.
I think there are at least two different anonymous contributors this afternoon. I'm pretty sure who "Der Panzer Cardinal" is. I'm not sure which of my readers would pick up a book on railroad history...
Any anecdotes to share that will give me a clue to your identity? (And if you say, "This one time at band camp..." I'll be very perturbed.)
I'm not really sure that every little Catholic boy dreamed of becoming the Pope someday. It doesn't have the perks it use to have.
OK, I am officially putting a moratorium on picking on the Pope, on this website. It's too easy and it isn't very productive. Also,it's liable to attract some freaky people I just don't want playing in this sandbox.
I'm still thinking about book suggestions... I just finished a novel called The Traveller by a guy named John Twelve Hawks. It had a very Buddhist feel to it, and some great martial arts action. Worth a look if you like thrillers. I picked up a Louis L'Amour novel called The Walking Drum, which is not about the wild west, but set in the 12th Century. I'm reading it for a second time now that I have a better foundation for 12th Century history. It follows a boy as he searches across Europe and Asia for his Father, a shipwrecked corsair.
I am planning on doing a full post on the books of Marcus Wynn sometime soon, also good if you like military thrillers and shoot-em ups.
If the book interest is 19th century transportation, I recemond "The C&O Canal Companion" by Mike High. It dicusses, in interesting form, the development of the Canal and its eventual downfall to the railroads and floods.

Will that be our battle cry? And will we accept what comes our way as our fate?
Damnation! You're kind of into this, aren't you?
Yes. Is that wrong?

Der Panzer Cardinal is a former Hitler Youth who lived every little catholic boys dream to grow up to be Pope.

I will respect the POPE JOKE moritorium.
