If you want to read other type material, I would suggest anything by Michael Crichton (probably spelled wrong) or anything by John Grisham.

Malcolm Gladwell books are good. Carl Sagan books are good too. The millionaire next door is good. I know you said you read philosophy type stuff already but Joseph Campbell is good. Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 are good dystopian fiction, which I kinda like every once in a while. Social Physics by Alex Pentland. Thomas Sowell books are interesting from what I've heard but I've only listened to his interviews. Dirty Wars is investigative journalism about the Middle East conflicts. How to win friends and influence people is ok. I read the art of war but thought it kinda sucked honestly. I've got a long list I add to, but it's mostly non-fiction.
It is easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled.

Death in the Long Grass and Death on the Dark Continent were decent reads. Both about a PH from Africa. X100 Any Peter Capstick books. I read Death in the Long Grass when i was 15 and when i started i couldnt pit it down. I've read 7 or 8 of his books. Another good one is The Last Ivory Hunter. The best hunting book ever may be Where the Red Fern Grows!

If you like history:
"Catherine the Great," by Robert K. Massie
"Peter the Great," by Robert K. Massie -- I liked this one more of these two, because it provides more depth to his building of St. Petersburg, the Russian Navy and his battle failures/successes
"The Great Divide," by Thomas Flemming (about Washington and Jefferson, and the early days of our country)
"Ghengis Khan and the Making of the Modern World," by Jack Weatherford (doggone fascinating)
As for an outdoorsy book, I recommend Capstick's "Death in in the Tall Grass" if you have any interest in African big game hunting. Pretty riveting.

Not going to make you smarter by any stretch but the Dummy Line series by Bobby Cole is incredibly intriguing and set right here in Alabama. Hunting, mystery, murder...it has it all. I have the series if you'd like to borrow the books. https://www.amazon.com/Dummy-Line-Bobby-Cole/dp/1491593067

Stephen Hunter always gets the gun stuff right.He was a movie critic before writing so his books "read" like movies.
Jeff Cooper or Massad Ayoob for shooting stuff.
Craig Boddington for hunting stuff.

Go way back to the classics..."Where the Red Fern Grows" and "The Yearling". If you've ever read them before, it was probably in elementary or middle school, and you HAD to read them. They'll be different books, when read as an adult...

In the last few months: Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne: 1812-1813 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1This book is about the French retreat during that cold winter and will really make you appreciate a warm fire, a hot cup of coffee or a warm piece of crusty French bread with a pat of butter. My Sixty Years on the Plains: Trapping, Trading, and Indian Fighting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Unbelievable story and adventure of a young man who matures into adulthood while fighting Indians, trapping and hunting in the western frontier. The Life of John Wesley Hardin https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1"He once shot a man for snoring too loud" I never realised that he got out of prison and became a lawyer, nor did I realize that there was an Alabama connection. A truly extraordinary character. Buddha in Blue Jeans: An Extremely Short Zen Guide to Sitting Quietly and Being Buddha https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Ommmmmmm... Make Your Bed https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Every young person starting out should read this. And it ain't a bad read for us older folks too. Written by a Navy Seal Admiral who just might know a little about intestinal fortitude and being successful. Two on the Isle: A Memory of Marina Cay https://www.amazon.com/Two-Isle-Memo..._&dpSrc=detailSpent 2 weeks on the island of Great Camanoe overlooking Marina Cay. This book was in the library of the friend's villa we were graciously offered for the extended stay. What a wonderful adventure and a melancholy ending. One of my favorite seafaring books after "Dove" by Robin Graham. https://www.amazon.com/Dove-Robin-L-.../dp/0060920475While on the subject of seafaring books... Kon-Tiki should not be overlooked. https://www.amazon.com/Kon-Tiki-Acro...words=kon+tikiJust finished: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Woods-Redisc...lk+in+the+woodsIt's about two unlikely buddies hiking the Appalachian Trail. Some really funny stuff and some interesting observations and insights. Currently reading: The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself by Sean Carroll https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1101984252/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1It's deep but way better than I expected. Up on deck is: Revolution by Russell Brand https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LKJHTJU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1I listened to a podcast interview with him on The Art of Charm and I was intrigued by the guy. He's a funny actor, but I never realized what a Zen Master type guy he is. He has an amazing story of how he overcame addiction. I gave my youngest daughter (who has struggled) one of his latest books on addiction in hopes that is would help her.

The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey by Candice Millard.
It's about a South American river expedition Roosevelt went on where, among other things, he nearly died from an injury he sustained and they were often followed/hunted/tracked by a tribe of cannibals.
There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

Maybe I can get some reading done before the semester starts.

Some good suggestions Irish. My name is John Wesley also, but I haven't shot anyone (yet) for snoring. I did a build project a few years ago for someone whose name is John Wesley Hardin. I asked him about it one time and he said "my parents have a strange sense of humor"  What's neat about that book is that we have this mental image of killer gunfighters in the Wild West as sort of illiterate, hard core badasses, but when you read this book and realize that it was actually written by John Wesley Hardin (and it is pretty eloquent for the times) and then you realize that he studied law in prison and became a lawyer after his release it changes your perception a little. I came a away from reading the book thinking of this guy more like a western version of a Ronin Samurai. Sort of a thinking man's killer. Of course he wrote the book and in his mind all the killings were justified.  It would seem to me that after you have to kill 20 something men, that maybe it just might be you.

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis Ever read "Letters from Earth" by Mark Twain? It's funny as all hell, but it will make you squirm in your seat if you are a believer. It was banned for a long time. In it's day it was considered quite blasphemous. "The Diary of Adam and Eve" is also eye opening.

In the process of reading one of Aldeer's own books. At First Light was written by treemydog. A very interesting book that is well written IMHO. Great plot and story line. Sorry I waited this long to read it. Great read and definitely worth the time. I just finished Sandy Harris' book (known here as treemydog) "At First Light". This is a well written mystery that had a bit of Stephen King or Daniel Koontz woven into the story line. While the crux of story is out there a bit, before I knew it I had totally bought it and found myself eagerly turning the page to see what happened next. The author didn't disappoint as he brought the story home. So glad I took the time to read the book. I highly recommend this one and look forward to Sandy's next offering..

I remember having to read this for my 8th grade history class. I need to go back and read it again because I know I didn't appreciate it then. It is a good read, the catcher in the rye is another classic that is a good one....
