I never make new years resolutions but I am trying to quit watching as much tv and begin reading more. I don’t think I’ve actually read a book since high school, and I’m into my second book of the year and I’m really enjoying it. But I am struggling to find books to read that might interest me.. so anyone have any good ones for me to check out.
(I don’t want to read anything political)

I'm reading American Assassin right now by Vince Flynn. It's the Mitch Rapp series and is pretty good if you like spy, agent type stuff. There are close to 15 books in that series and a movie coming out. I’ve read all of them very good. The new ones are by a new author since Flynn passed away. They are good as well, a little different style.

I’ve read a biography and a non fiction about business... I do know in terms of fiction I’m not a fan of fantasy. Every fiction book is fantasy. Phuck you talkin about? Millionaire Next Door is good, the world without us, blink, outliers, dirty wars, billions and billions all good.

There are close to 15 books in that series and a movie coming out. Any book written by Vince Flynn you should like.... Try the title Term Limits, it is a great read!! American assassin.. The book is better than the movie

Reading is very subjective because everyone has their own interests. Personally, I like to read things where I feel like I'm gaining knowledge along with the entertainment factor.
I read a lot of historical/war/exploration/colonial rule, etc. Books written form the 1800's through today really. It really will expand you knowledge of the events that have lead us to where we are today in terms of the problems in the middle east, how some of these countries came to be, etc. All these things play right into current times and you might find what you've been told all your life or think you know might not actually be the whole story.
I could list hundreds of places to start but Wars and other conflicts are the most significant and you can dive off into other things that spark your interests from there like Africa bush wars and other topics.
I'd start with Seven Pillars of Wisdom & The Evolution of a Revolt - 2 books actually - written by T.E. Lawrence a.k.a Lawrence of Arabia. It is a hard read but struggle through it gets better in the end.
WWII start here - With The Old Breed by E.B. Sledge who is from here in Alabama.
First Book on Vietnam I'd read would be In This Valley There Are Tigers by Charles McDonald. There are a dang slew of good ones after that.
If you want a book on hunting I love Capstick's books as mentioned before Death In The Long Grass is probably my favorite. I also love Man Eaters of Kumon by Jim Corbett which is about India and man eating tigers. That was a really good one. I liked it better than The Man Eaters of Tsavo.
