I enjoy reading but don’t want to read woke stuff. I’ve read “ Mine were of trouble” about a Nationalist fighting against the commies in the Spanish civil war. “Storm of Steel” about a WW1 German soldier. Currently reading “Blood Red Snow” about a German soldier on the Eastern Front. All those are nonfiction. I plan to read Cross of Iron, Imperium, and The Outlaws next. Also want to try to add some nonfiction and philosophy and pretty much everything. I want knowledge and wisdom, and want to be so well versed I can pass it on to my future kids.

What books do you recommend? And genre, fiction or nonfiction. Also, do you prefer print books or ebooks?

Knowledge is the one thing no one can take away.

I have only have warm, fond memories of my dad reading to me. He'd be lying on the couch or recliner... with me on top, sprawled out and using him as a recliner. You can feel the vibrations when he speaks. You slowly rise and fall with his calm breathing. You try to follow along but you drift off and the next thing you know, your head is on his shoulder as he carries you to bed and tucks you in.

What are some books you enjoyed being read to so much, that you must read them to your future kids?

Definitely going to read The Hobbit to them, and as they get a little older The Lord of the Rings as well. Tolkien also has a “Letters to Santa” which I already bought. Also The Chronicles of Narnia. Also fairy tales and things like that.
