Has Anybody Read Any Good Books Lately?

The track we ran PT on at Lackland was nice and flat, no hills, bushes, trees, rocks, and at 5:30 in the morning, a nice, comfortable temperature.  We were always a little winded after a grueling mile and a half, but the air conditioned chow hall helped a lot during breakfast...

Our sister flight next door in the dormitory did lap dances to raise extra money for charities- very convenient, and you really felt like the money went to good causes...

You Marine guys experienced something different than that in Basic?!?  Must've been awful...

The problem with the sister flight was that they smelled as bad as we did! I remember in week 4 when they finally got into blues and makeup...it was like I hadn't seen a woman in months! Kinda like the TDY thing. A deployed 1 soon becomes a 8 for lack of competition.
Back on topic, finished reading Stephen R. Donaldson's latest...have to go back and start the whole Chronicles over again.

They didn't have women on our base when I was in boot camp. Back then it was called the military and the girls went to a seperate base for boot camp "Lite". Those were the good ole days when men were men and the girls weren't allowed in combat.  I don't think I would fair to well watching females in the same boot camp doing less of a workout than me.

I started Reading The Rings of the Master series by Jack L. Chalker.  It's been pretty good so far.  It's a four book series in which mankind is locked into it's more primitive times by a computer to prevent the destruction of mankind.  It follows the path of an American Indian and A Chinese highborn on their path to release mankind from the rigid control of the system and its minions.  The rings refered to in the series title are five rings with microcircuitry in them to shut down the Master Control system.  If the rest of the series holds up to the first book, it will prove to be a good read.

I just finished Godless: The Church of Liberalism, by Ann Coulter.  A good read, and very educational!

Conservative high priestess Ann Coulter continues to excoriate liberals in books with one-word titles. This time her focus is on the sins of the Left, and particularly its views on religion in general and on those who believe, as well as its positions on church-state relations. Coulter argues that liberalism is very much like a church, with a hierarchy, priests, mysteries, acolytes, and its own explanation for everything in the universe. She is in her most Inquisitional mode, and her many fans will appreciate her rhetoric and cheer her on., Conservative high priestess Ann Coulter continues to excoriate liberals in books with one-word titles.

(GODLESS became an immediate bestseller upon publication in June, 2006 helped along by the book's headline-making comments about a group of 9/11 widows and a public row with Hillary Clinton.)
