Online I'm rereading Selco Begovic's SHTF Anthology (Survival Lessons from the Balkan Wars). It's been awhile.
I stocked up on books for the winter, right now I'm wading through War Letters and On Eagle's Wings (Christian book by a recon jet pilot in 'Nam). Also am rereading Last of the Breed, by Louis L'Amour, which played a part in piquing my interest in survivalism.

Two systematic theologies, an old book on the 1881 Bible revision, and a detective novel.

Til We have Faces and an attempt to read the Gulag Archipelago. I have not been able to read it all yet.

Til We have Faces and an attempt to read the Gulag Archipelago. I have not been able to read it all yet. Haven't read the first but have read the Gulag Archipelago. Maybe 10 yrs or so ago. Considered rereading it but haven't done so, maybe some day.

Someone else who has multiple books going at one time.👍🏻 I usually read about 3 at once, on occasion as many as 5 but don't do that very often (tends to get too confusing). With memory issues I read slower now and sometimes have to reread a paragraph or even a page or 3 before I grasp something. Frustrating. Normally I only read non-fiction but lately I've started reading a bit of fiction again, kind of relaxing compared to what I normally read.

Considered rereading it but haven't done so, maybe some day. Wow, took me back. In HS I wrote about a 20 page paper comparing the Gulag Archipelago and Camu's The Plague. Haven't got a clue what I decided in the compare/contrast - maybe I better reread them both.
For now I'm reading Peter Burke's - Year Round Indoor Salad Garden, a couple quilting books, Peter Larson's A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres. I always have the Bible and Carla Emery's Country Living open to something.

I have Year Round Salad Garden sitting on my nightstand in my to-read pile but currently have nothing started but a couple read alouds to the kids...Mr Popper's Penguins and Mystery of History.

Reading This Is War by Greg Locke, as well as Wartime Farm (BBC) and Lost Survival Foods.
My understanding of theology differs from Locke's in a couple matters, but it's mitteldinge, so that doesn't bother me. His book is a call to arms for the Church, to stop complying with the government mandates regarding worship and our freedom. Highly recommend it.

mzgarden, I have read some Camus, but ol' Albert is a lot better for good quotations than reading, IMO. Finished The Stranger, but did not feel inclined to read any more.

This was at least the 3rd time I've read it. One of the 2 or 3 really good Louis Lamour books.
Just now, I'm rereading all of Gene Logsdon's books. I think we have all of them but they are mostly fairly short so all of them are a quick read. There's a lot of really good information in there. Though we're farmers, there are a lot of modern agribusiness activities that bother me A LOT. Besides, I need some reading just now that is calm and sensible.

I've been trying to read The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry, but keep getting drawn back to the chapter on Sylvia Plath. Her poetry is so depressing and that really fits my mood lately.

Had to laugh a bit at that, as I’m just the opposite. 😁 If I find my mood beginning a downhill slide, I do whatever I can to pull myself out of it immediately. Don’t want to go there! No depressing music, books, movies, etc. I want something uplifting and inspiring...like Die Hard. 👍🏻👍🏻

I started for the 3rd time to read Sacajawea .... I love reading about the American Indians. This is one of my most favorites, but Scarlet Plum and a few others are close runners up.

Just started Machiavelli's The Prince. I've heard many reference to it over the years of course but never actually read it. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15772
