...continued hiker’s journal…

Current Reading List:
  • People of the Deer / Farley Mowat
  • The Desperate People; Farley Mowat .With woodcuts by Rosemary Kilbourn.
  • The Quest: Energy, Security and the Remaking of the modern World / Daniel Yergin.
  • The Novice: A Story of True Love / Thich Nhat Hanh.
  • Models Behaving Badly: Why Confusing Illusion with Reality Can Lead to Disaster, on Wall Street and in Life / Emanuel Derman.

Shade it Black: Death and After in Iraq by Jessica Goodell is a decent narrative. Was a primer for my understanding the systematic classism and racism subsumed in the structure of the Marine Corps. As well, the Mortuary Affairs unit of the Marines sheds stark light on the every day occurrences producing PTSD in our young enlistees.

What is on your reading list?
