Love books. Waaay more books then weapons.
As per the course I dont think Ive read half of them.
Also am currently reading 6 diff books. Hard for me to stay focused.
Last read - The German Sniper by Senich
Current - "He Leadeth Me" about a priest that spent 23 years (5 in solitary) in Russian prisons and siberian work camps. Amazing.
Next - Prob one of the Hopalong Cassidy books by Mulford. Amazing author. Historical Fiction is my fav genre
YMMV

Exasperated with “nesters and homesteaders,” the established stockmen of Wyoming had decided to clean house. Or, at least, what they considered to be their house, the plains of Wyoming
