I enjoy non-fiction books about WWII, particularly the naval warfare aspect. It’s hard for me to pick one favorite, but the one I read most recently was, No Greater Glory by Dan Kurzman. Currently reading Abandon Ship by Richard Newcomb.

So many good ones, but one of my favorites is Blue Highways, by William Least Heat Moon. A journey around America on the roads less traveled, meeting interesting people and cultures along the way.

In recent years, Dear Mom: A Snipers Vietnam by Joseph T Ward. Great insight into a war that history wants to forget.
