Love reading books on vacation. Blasted through Concrete Blonde (part of Bosch series by Michael Connelly). Loved it. Then reread “The things they carried” by Tim O’Brien, a story about a platoon of American soldiers fighting on the ground in Vietnam war. Great writing.

@MSR11 Funny you should say that Mike. That along with Stephen Ambrose’s “D-Day” were next on my list to reread. Loved Guns of August.

I am a big fan of Michael Connelly’s and especially his series of books with Harry Bosch as the main character. Highly recommend “The Last Coyote” for those who enjoy the genre. Also greatly enjoyed the 8 seasons of Bosch on Prime. https://t.co/nDrAnYxnbc

The genre I enjoy reading the most is history or historical novels that are extremely well written. Have decided to reread 2 of my favorites; “Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara (Pulitzer winner on 3 days of Gettysburg) & April 1865 (The month that saved America) by Jay Winik.
