Look to be recently visited capitol hill asked congressman jim banks about his reading list. Will the summer, have a very ambitious reading list. Currently im finishing a wellknown book by stephen on dday a couple of weeks ago i went to the 75th anniversary of dday and about finished with the book. But going there and firsthand what happened there 75 years ago by our heroes, the greatest generation. World war ii veterans who stormed the beaches of normandy and read the book firsthand and learn about it, is overwhelming to imagine what they went through rated i am also reading seapower, which just went in paperback. Im in a be reserved officer and have been a champion of the bigger Stronger Navy force posture in this tumultuous and dangerous world that we live in today. But i picked up ash carters new book former secretary of defense to the best military history books that ive read in recent years have been both secretary and negates his books. Now i can add asked carter book to that collection. My daughter who is nine years old, and i have a reading competition in 2019 and reads most books, twins and she is currently beating me. But as you beat me, she gets a puppy. So thats her motivation for winning the competition. So ive got a lot of work to do to catch up with her to win the competition. I have a bad habit, used to work at barnes noble and i spent a lot of time the barnes and noble. I often buy books that i never read in the pilot.
