I am just about to get a drink and begin reading "No Easy Day" which is a book written by one of the Seals who were part of the mission to kill Bin Laden, should be an interesting read. Apparently the book was not sent to officials for fact checking and contradicts certain things the government told us about the mission... Hmmm


Finished ^ its a good read, its quite short though and moves forward at quite a quick pace but yeah, a pretty solid book overall. The maps of the compound, diagrams marked with EZ and other pictures of such things gives a good idea of what it was like. Also mentions how soldiers sometimes feel they are the tools of politics and stuff, its a good message.

Now I am onto "The Chimp Paradox"

Trois hommes dans un bateau (Three men in a boat).

Not sure why I'm reading the French translation when the original was in English...

A Lion Called Christian. Or at least, I'm going to be reading it once it arrives. Saw the youtube clip and it's such a moving story. Can't wait to read it!

There is a book about that? Will have to check it out, I saw the video in question though and that was pretty inspirational!

Picked up a number of new books today, and the first one up is " A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey read the first 15 page on the way back and it is interesting so far...

Yeah, there are actually quite a few books that were published about him. I bought the one written by Anthony Bourke & John Rendall; they were the two people who bought and raised Christian in the first place, after all!
