The "post what book you're reading" thread

[IRuleMeParticipant]

After having participated in the discussion about not talking about women for a week, Market~~~cher and Jan challenged me to lead by example. So I wanted to make a little thread where we could share with our fellow men (those of you who read books) what book you’re reading. I love to read. Always have. Technology and life took me away from it for a long time. But discovering this site led me to picking up many of the books recommended on the site (Myth of Male Power, The Manipulated Man, etc, etc) which has re-invigorated my love of books. So what better way to pay it forward than to make a thread like this. Hopefully it will inspire others here who are not reading to pick up a book once again. And to those who are, maybe it will give them some ideas of other books to look into.

I just finished reading this nice little tell all by Noel Monk. The man who served as both the tour manager (when the band started) to band manager (until he left in 1985) for Van Halen. An interesting book with lots of details (even if it jumps around sometimes).

Right now I’m currently reading…

Don’t spoil the story please. 😉 lol

Reading the Happiness Trap by Russ Harris…
Self help book in line with developing techniques to live in the moment…I need to handle my emotional and psychological well being which was battered by my ex…
I tried to do stuff to get well physically, exercise and eat healthy but I also need to take care of myself emotionally and psychologically and this book I recommend for those struggling with the rage…

Fatherland by Robert Harris it’s turning out to be a great detective novel set in post WW2 if Germany had won the war. It deals with a case that is supposed to be minuscule but later causes a whole new chain of events that involve the leading figures of the Third Reich in the murder of an ex-party member.

Just finished Thud Ridge by Col. Jack Broughton (Ret), about an F-105 Thunderchief pilot over Vietnam. A depressing but very engaging read.

Next, re-reading The Fox and the Hound, by Daniel P. Mannix. An incredible story, not anywhere close to the Disney movie. Heartbreaking but inspiring.

It’s also extremely hard to find. I am the proud owner of an original first-edition hardcover.

Good s~~~. Nice thread.

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

Soldiers and Civilization: How the Profession of Arms Thought and Fought the Modern World into Existence by Reed Robert Bonadonna.

[Anonymous 3]

Last book I finished:

It was not what I thought it was. It is really a book about a man resisting in circumstances that make other men crawl like spineless creatures:

“An elderly merchant, a man with a long beard, was pleading with a young girl for a favourable report! Whatever Block’s ulterior motive might be, nothing could justify his behaviour in the eyes of a fellow human being.
K. did not understand how the advocate could have imagined that this spectacle would win him over. If K. had not dismissed him already, this performance would have made him do so; it almost degraded the onlooker. So this was the effect of the advocate’s method, to which K. had fortunately not been exposed for too long: the client finally forgot the whole world and could only drag himself along this illusory path to the end of his trial. He was no longer a client; he was the advocate’s dog.”
― Franz Kafka, The Trial

And the tool used for making men spineless was the law:

“It’s characteristic of this judicial system that a man is condemned not only when he’s innocent but also in ignorance.”
― Franz Kafka, The Trial
