What books have you been reading?

Found it. Might have read some of that. I'll have to look. Thanks.

Hey Jobber just wanted to say I read a book that was on just the first crusade and it was really good.
I cant find it at the moment but when I do I will post the title.
Also if you are really into the crusades as a subject I have to recommend a great youtube channel called "Real Crusades History"
This guy does great stuff on there. From 10 min. vids on battles or specific events or characters from the era to hour long podcasts with authors and scholars on the subject.
I highly recommend checking out his channel.

I'm re-reading James Michener's "Chesapeake". It's 1024 pages and I wish it was even longer. First read it many moons ago when I was 17 and on a Michener kick at the time including reading Hawaii, Space, Alaska etc. all great books.

Read that a few months ago. Great read. I really enjoyed Poland too.

I read Michener's Mexico, which was decent. I think it's not as highly regarded as some of his other books. Probably should check them out.

Finishing up Stealing Fire then moving onto Failure to Adjust: How Americans Got Left Behind in the Global Economy

THE WAY of the SHEPHERD is a very good book. It is a MUST READ for any person who is a manager of people. Great management tool if you apply what's written.

Sounds interesting. I used to read a book a day when young. Now I don't see well enough to stay on target long. I like to Kindle so I can change the fonts. Does it address AI?

More so about the impact of machine learning, but under the umbrella of AI

Wow. This is an old thread lol.

Wow. This is an old thread lol.

I had to dig it up. Lots of great suggestions and feedback in here. I don't think (hope) it constitutes a rule violation since this is an ongoing thread that just happened to get buried.

Sorry for the Haley false alarm, Daboyz
