I have been rereading old favorites, the only one of my favorite writers with a new book out is Clive Cussler and all 3 copies at the library are checked out

I really liked the Third Bullet too. Especially how it focus's on the brain shot of JFK. Everything makes sense for LHO to have made the kill up til then. I don't see a moderate velocity FMJ causing that kind of damage and causing brain material to exit the head at what appears to be a 45 degree angle from the entry wound.Hunters tale while fiction is physically factual. I like how Hunter explains away not finding that last bullet but don't you guys think there would be fragments left behind.

The fragments would be scattered through the brain.
But no one knows where that went.
It disappeared between Dallas and Washington.

Here are two recommendations, for now. I REALLY liked the the book "Lights Out" by David Crawford. Excellent read and a very entertaining story. Very thought provoking as well. A very similar story is "One Second After" by William Forstchen. Same kind of story. IMHO, they are great but sobering reads.

I finished "The Third Bullet" on the flight home Saturday.  I loved it, especially the self-deprecating shots Mr. Hunter takes at himself.  Good read and the most plausible conspiracy theories I've heard, not that I pulled out my tinfoil hat but close.

I just finished it myself. I agree that it was a good read and quite plausible.

I did come across either an error or a typo on p. 403 when the book was describing Swagger going through the old Abercrombie and Fitch warehouse.

The bound books of firearm sales, required by the ATF since 1938, were casually distributed through the mess.

This should be 1968 and bound books of out-of-business dealers are turned into the ATF when the company goes out of business. I don't know when the requirement to turn in bound books was established so that part might be correct.

While I'm sure there may be other errors, that was the only one that jumped out at me. As I said above, it was a good read.

Reading Walden by Thoreau, again...

Reading Walden by Thoreau, again...

You are close enough to drive over there and read it on site . 
He wrote "On Civil Disobedience" while living there as well.
When you read keep in mind that if he were alive today Thoreau would be a flaming  liberal.

Currently re-reading 'That Dark and Bloody River'.  by Allan Eckert.  Will also re-read 'Border Wars of the Upper Ohio Valley' when I locate my copy.  Murder, rape, and other sordid atrocities on the colonial frontier.

Kenneth Roberts also wrote several very good books on the era from the French and Indian war through the War of 1812.
He focused on NH and Mass though.

Albeit a very thrifty and responsible one!  Remember, he said "I have a trade for every finger on both hands!"

Not a lazy guy by liberal standards...he expected people to live within their means...preached it rather!
