I've had some time off work recovering from a knee surgery so I've finally had some time to knock out a few books. Thought it would be good to start a thread people can post up any books they've read along with a short little review:
F'ing hilarious. It's a short read, which never hurts. It's basically stories from this guys years growing up and the brutally honest shit his dad would say.
I'm sure a lot of people on here have read this one. It was awesome to read the behind the scenes stuff at SVT and how they got 03/04 project done in such a short amount of time. An absolute must read for any mustang fan.
I'm about 2/3 the way through this one. It's simply incredible. This is the story about the blackhawk pilot that got shot down and captured in Mogadishu (blackhawk down). You don't have to be into military stuff to appreciate this book. It never ceases to blow me away when reading of the extraordinary things our soldiers do in the middle of battle. He was only held for 11 days, but the shit he went through is just nuts (a little teaser, the guy had a broken back and femur that he dealt with along with a broken eye socket from being clubbed in the face with an arm that was torn off one of our soldiers they killed and tore apart). Highly recommend.
Another awesome book. Ed Macy was a British Marine that was a part of their first Apache crew. This book takes you through the Apache, his training, and his time spent flying missions in Afghanistan. Some of the chapters literally had my hands sweating they were so intense and I ended up readying the last 1/2 of the book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Another highly recommended read.
