NUance Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I am reading a book called Marine Sniper by Charles Henderson. It is about the life of Carlos Hathcock. A very good book so far. Carlos Hathcock, the White Feather. The guy was a machine. A Viet Cong killing machine. I read about him a while back in a book called "One Shot, One Kill." Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 About a third of the way through this. She pokes a lot of fun at the spook world. Pretty entertaining. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 About halfway through Kitchen Confidential after knapplc's recommendation. Entertaining read. Makes me glad that I no longer work in the restaurant industry. Next up: Physics for Future Presidents. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The Essential Smart Football by Chris Brown per recommendation from saunders45 It's pretty interesting and a short read. Also: Do we maybe want to merge this thread with the other Book Thread we have going? Quote Link to comment

'the dark knight returns' is another classic, but i believe superman does make an appearance. (i agree though, boo superman). 'arkham asylum' is another good one. so is 'joker'. i've pretty much just used this list. edit: also, the just made 'year one' into an animated film. pretty awesome if you are into that kind of thing. (which i am). (bryan cranston is the voice of gordon). (but the animated series will always be the best of all, especially 'mask of the phantasm'). Quote Link to comment

But they might not be deployed. Drones are making snipers obsolete. I'd love to have one of those 50 cal sniper rifles. You know, to shoot stuff far away. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 A lady in the office down the hall is trying to convince me to read 50 Shades of Gray. I know it's the latest housewife craze, but have any men actually read this book? Is it worth a read? Quote Link to comment
