Non-fiction Reading

[GlockCop]

I was just wondering what non-fiction you guys enjoy reading. Also BB tends to frown at me when I try to discuss fictional scenarios with her.

Fer-Fal's blog is one that we discuss a lot. http://ferfal.blogspot.com/

I read J. Wesley Rawles a bit too but again BB thinks he a nut so she doesn't really care for it when I say "Well, JWR says this ......."" lol
She calls him "J Wesley -- wait for it -- comma Rawles.

I think Selco's blog has been mentioned too but I haven't checked him out yet.

Military stuff, mostly either modern, or WW2. Some Vietnam era stuff. A lot of it centers on either Snipers or stuff that my family was involved in to a degree.

ill warn everyone about Selco's blog. Everything you thought you knew about survival during urban shtf scenario's was wrong. This guy opened my eyes and scared the bejesus outa me.
No matter how prepped you'll ever be, it wont be enough.

We can prep for natural diasters but if SHTF the only thing you can do is try to survive day by day. Expect to deal with hunger, death and total chaos everyday.

Those of us in rural areas may hold out a little while but eventually even we shall experience the same.

Currently reading books like BLINK and The Gift of Fear. Try BLINK. It'll change the way you look at "first impressions".

Blink sounds like something id be interseted in. Books that explain or help understand the "why" type questions always pique my interest.

I have found this to be true, too. It's a real eye-opener.
