RichMan Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 With recent downtime for me (lost my job), I've tried to do a little more reading. First book is about an Ottawa government scientist who is assigned an unusual and demanding project up north to study wolf population. His sense of humor and deep sarcasm towards our Canadian government is often spot on and very entertaining. Second book, I decided to dig out some of my sports psychology literature cause I've been going through a difficult losing streak in goal and im hoping to find my mental edge again. I know it's martial arts based but the discipline approach is very similar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mik Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Books about history, especialy middle ages, are my favourite. I prefer literature of facts, but can read beletry if it is historically accurate. Now I am reading A King´s Ransom from S.K. Penmann, it is the third part of series, about Richard the Lionhearted after his return from Holy Land and his captivity. Beletery, but realy good and long. Another great book was God´s War. A New History of the Crusades form Christopher Teyrman, literature of facts, about 1000 pages . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichMan Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) @mik if you want to give some historical reference reading with a touch of fiction involved, might I recommend SHIKE by Robert Shea. It's a 2 book series and is set in feudal Japan. A friend and i checked out some of the stories anecdotes and they matched very closely to the time period and records. Worth reading, but hard to find, unless reprints have been released. Edited March 12 by RichMan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many books and too little time to read them.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
