Yeah Mein Kampf was tough to get through as was the Communist Manifesto....They bore me....I guess reading the Quatrains of Nostradamus would be the only fictional writer I read the most of...Tons of history, military, political, religions ..Is the Bible considered non-fiction?Nonfiction is my interest.....All subjects...Sociology is one of my favorites........are you a collector of anything?
We don't actually collect anything, but I think we have more BOOKS than anything else in our house, second would either be sports memorabilia or framed pictures......
I collect shot glasses and beer mugs.
I also have a bunch of books, ranging from my Chemical Engineering books, to fiction, and my history book collection, the prize of which is a 9 book Readers Digest set from 1919 on World War I.
Do you have a favorite/favorites of Fiction Writers?
I read a ton of Military history, at this point I have started reading source material. I've read Clauswitz, I've read Gurderian's Achtung Panzer, and I even have a copy of Mein Kampf, (hidden behind other books, people tend to assume owning Mein Kampf = Nazi.
One of the other little gems is a copy of the minutes from one of China's Communist Party Meetings, from the 60's. It was right after some big wig decided to go against Mao and had to be denounced, plus lots of calling the U.S. a "paper tiger".
And the Bible is a special case, I wouldn't touch classifying it with a 10 foot pole.
