Another vote for Blood meridian by Cormac McCarthy, I've listened to the audio book 3 or 4 times when driving out west, not sure why.

No country for old men - Cormac McCarthy, liked the movie and the book but in different ways

As I lay dying - Faulkner
Empire of the summer moon - SC Gwynne
Last son of the war God - Clay Martin
War - Sebastian Junger
Tribe - Sebastian Junger

Killers of the flower moon - David Grann, book was much better then the movie, I was not a fan of the casting and the way several of the characters were portrayed

Agree 100%. read the book when it first came out and eagerly anticipated the movie. Didn't like it at all. My grandmother was born in Pawhuska in 1916 and grew up there while that was all happening.

I can't put this book down. It's incredible to hear what these guys put up with and went through through their own words. He just released a second one that I will be picking up soon.

Yeah granpappy had spent time in Faxon and I had worked around Shidler, kaw lake area, on the Osage reservation, so I was interested.

There was another thread on this topic a year or two ago. I picked up several good recommendations from that. Here are a few that I've really enjoyed, some of them repeats of those mentioned above.

"Death in the Long Grass" by Peter Hathaway Capstick
"Endurance" by Alfred Lansing
"The Long Walk" by Slavomir Rawicz
"The Old Man and the Boy" by Robert Ruark
"Alaska's Wolf Man" by Jim Rearden
"Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall if you have any interest at all in running
"Wild Men, Wild Alaska" by Rocky McElveen
"Beyond Fair Chase" by Jim Posewitz
"A Sand County Almanac" by Also Leopold
"West With the Night" by Beryl Markham (I really enjoyed some sections a lot more than others but overall it was a great read)
"The Christmas Box" by Richard Paul Evans since we are talking winter reads.

If I'm in the mood for a quick read I tend to enjoy a Louis Lamour or Zane Grey novel on occasion as well. They are just easy to jump into and enjoy without a lot of thought or concentration. I've also enjoyed the Joe Pickett series along this vein for a more modern easy read western type of book.

I listen to everything since I commute so far. One of the last books I finished was Son of Hamas. This is a great book to give you a firsthand account of what has been really going on in Israel and Palestine. The author is the son of one of the founding members of Hamas. I wish all of the antisemitic protestors would read this book and listen to what this man has to say. He turned his back on his entire family, all of his friends and his religion after seeing the truth about Hamas.

I read a TON of books and a pretty eclectic array of subjects. For back country pioneer true story... The Grass Beyond the Mountains is pretty awesome .

 

[Pezboat]

This was a great read:

A Quiet Place of Violence: Hunting and Ethics in the Missouri River Breaks​

 

[bliner]

Man Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett - This one is a classic.
Joe Picket series by CJ Box

 

[copenmechanism]

I read a ton of books, 50+ a year.

Some recent books I have enjoyed
Rebel with a cause - Franklin Grahm
The Gray Man series by Mark Greaney - a little over the top, but non-stop action
Anything John Grisham, I have read every single book he has written and enjoy them all. Gary Moutan is one of my favorites, coal mining legal thriller.

I blew through the Gray Man series, but man, is over the top right. Greaney makes Brad Thor and Jack Carr look like frickin Emily Dickinson.

About half done with blood meridian and dam it’s tough for me to read.
Not sure if it’s the slang or what but just not sure I’m digging how it’s written.
I was looking forward to it.

That's Cormac...

I'm a fan of his, and love Blood Meridian.

But it's not an easy read.

AK-47 Story of a Gun - Is similar... First hand stories from those who carried it. Including a Sudanese child soldier. Very interesting.

The Edge of War: Kuwait's Underground Resistance is long, but very interesting.
