  • 'The Donkey and the pond' by Cal date unknown.......

  • Howard Stern’s last book. It is excerpts from his years of interviews 

    It has a lot of stuff with Trump in it. Back when Trump was actually being truthful. Very interesting the points of views he had back then.

    Come on, man, it was a spring, not a pond.

    How about my funny medieval story I haven't posted in a long time?

    I was going to say...

    the real adventure novel I wrote.

    Haven't tried to get it published yet. I think it needs some work.

  • Got another to add to this because it is so accurate with the real history of Comancheria in Texas following the Civil War. But it's a novel whose two protagonists are a Comanche Indian and a Buffalo Soldier (black ex-slave) of the 10th Cavalry all-black enlisted with white officers. The name  of it is The Wolf and the Buffalo by Elmer Kelton, TCU Press 1980 and 1986. Naturally enough they are on either side of the fight by the US Army to rein in the Comanches to reservations in Oklahoma from their final days living free around the southern buffalo herd of the Texas Panhandle & western Oklahoma down to San Angelo. It is thoroughly engrossing with excellent character development throughout. It is used in college classes on the history of the American west.

  • Galapogos by Kurt Vonnegut!... highly detailed , great book...

  • The Harvard Classics.
