Didn't we have a books thread in here a while back? There were some decent recommendations in there I think.

I have God Is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens and Gravity's Rainbow on my summer list in that order. I've gotten so lazy too I'm not sure how I'm going to react to a hard read.

For a light, easy-breezy summer read, pick up anything by Cormac McCarthy. I suggest starting with "Blood Meridian" or "Outer Dark."

And the Kaiser Abdicates... a first-hand account of the German Revolution of 1918-1919 by S. Miles Bouton (1920).
New York by Theodore Roosevelt (1891). Not as longwinded as some his works (such as Gouvernor Morris or Thomas Hart Benton) but it's still got that late 19th Century decaratory style that requires a bit of a buzz before reading.
If I get to it I'd really like to tackle Shelby Foote's The Civil War, a Narrative. (3 vols. 1958-1974.) Foote was the Southern gentleman featured in Ken Burns' documentary The Civil War.

I had many good books that I wanted to read this summer, but unfortunately, my sack of shit boyfriend just broke up with me and I had to pack all of them up in 24 hours. So right now, I'm reading The PTSD Workbook.

Jim B., I read the Shelby Foote Civil War series. Really good reads, but it is a huge investment in time.

I read fairly quickly. Plus, I do most of my non-work related reading on the 2 Train while I'm commuting, so It never really eats into anything else.

"The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" and "Ubik" by Philip K. Dick. Both are exciting, breezy reads.

The best book I read on the beach was "The Road" by Cormack MaCarthy. Very easy read for a post apocalyptic tale. Hat tip to Lowride for the recomendation.

I just finished reading "Hells Angels at War" by Yves Lavigne. It's the third book he has written about the subject. Long book, quick read, gritty details.

Foote is the most passionate and stirring of all the Civil war Historians....but I have told XPT's own Son of the Lost Cause, Bornyo that, in my not-so-humble opinion, the most challenging, interesting, unique and even slightly CONTROVERSIAL treatment of the Cause(s), Course, Campaign(s) and Conclusion of the American Civil War (a.k.a. "War of Northen Agression/Conquest/Occupation") can be found by reading:
"Why The South LOST the Civil War" by Richard Beringer, with Hermann Hattaway, Archer Jones and William Still, Jr.
I wont spoil it, or launch my own version of Sherman's March by vomiting 50 pages across XPT's Landscape, but it is only 220 pages (give or take) and it really holds your interest for such a type of book (provided you ARE interested in the subject to begin with.....)
