    Going to be picking up a book or two for the flight to the Dominican here in a few weeks. I'm open to most subjects, but history and outdoors topics are preferred. It has to be available for the kindle, too:D

    Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.

    GREAT read.

    Dont want to give anything away but its about he and 3 other navy seals involved in an Afghan battle

    He has a new released book called Service but I suggest reading Lone Survivor first.

    I can second the Lee Child novels with Jack Reacher. They're quick reads and fast paced. Another series I like is the Hawke novels by Ted Bell.

    This is a good one!


    Here are a few more I'd recommend...

    The Tracker - Tom Brown, JR (outdoors)

    [​IMG]



    Also a good book that's a quick read:
    Jesus Brand Spirituality - Ken Wilson

    [​IMG]



    And, a very eye-opening book:
    The Omnivore's Dilema - Michael Pollan
