I was severely afflicted with ‘bookworm’ as a child. Though the malady was in a sort of controlled semi-remission throughout my working life, retirement has brought on a very substantial relapse.Jan 8, 2021 12:22:13 #
I couldn't think of her name yesterday. I have been enjoying Tersa Burrells "Advocate Series".
I'm currently reading The Advocate's Justice.

It looks like you enjoy military history -- Check out The Frozen Hours by Jeff Shaara. This is very well written and tells about the struggles we faced in Korea. I like that the author tells the history from both the US and Chinese side of the conflict. It shows the bravery and dedication of our troops in the face of almost impossible conditions. While the Russians were not actively involved in Korea, the Chinese tried unsuccessfully to bring them in just to supply air support. They did provide some advisors though. In one chapter of the book it describes how the Chinese sent wave after wave against the American lines only to have them cut down by superior fire power. The Russian advisor asked the Chinese general in charge of the campaign why he just wasted his troops as bodies piled up in front of the American lines. The Chinese general explained they did not have the weapons to match the Americans but they had bodies. He said the soldiers themselves were the ammunition. His tactic was to send more soldiers against the lines than the Americans had ammunition to stop.

I read 78 books last year from bookbub and probably another 25 to 30 digital books from the local library which has a online checkout so I never have to go into the library except to renew/update my card. I read anything that strikes my interest.

Many years ago I read the Bible cover to cover. Somebody had told me that no one has read the Bible cover to cover and I set out to prove them wrong. I don't remember how long it took but it was awhile.
