Strafe (sentence/ penalty) - Franz Ferdinand von Schirach (don’t recommend - pseudo intellectual)

Der Verdacht (the suspicion) - Duerrenmatt (Duerrenmatt is never pseudo intellectual, haha).

The Law of One - The Choice.

Some wicked shit. Might have to revive the Woo Woo thread to deal with it.

Relax and retire…debunking inflation fears

statistical book that shows cost of living and retirement expenses thru-out the last 75 years

its a great read if you are near or in retirement age but having fears of making that step due to inflation fears

If you’re interested in this topic, I finished Pol Pot: Anatomy of a Nightmare a week or so ago and really enjoyed it/learned a lot from it.

@QuadQueen Mastering the Art of French Murder Thanks for the recommendation.

Oath of Loyalty by Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills. Best Mitch Rapp book in while. @punnyguy can’t remember if you are Rapp fan?

I’ve read a couple Mitch Rapp books, I liked them, but not enough to reel off a string all at once.

I’m currently reading the Amos Decker series Long Shadows, and I’ve started Cabinet of Dr. Leng…which I know you’re not a fan of lol -I’m not a time travel guy, but because I lived in NYC for 30 years, books that describe the NYC from old days always fascinate me.

Palm Beach Finland by Antti Tuomainen, he’s basically Finland’s version of Carl Hiaasen. Very cynical, funny satire.

Currently hate reading (is that even a thing?) Katja Hoyer’s Beyond the Wall.

I recently read Iron Hand: The Confession of Goetz Von Berlichingen. The telling of the story of the Medieval Knight/Mercenary who may be the coolest and toughest guy in all of recorded history :joy:. And credited with being the originator of the phrase ā€œKiss my assā€
