OT - All Time Favorite Books ???

Post by **AmBraCol** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:11 am

I was just reading an article about the top ten favorite books around the US. Made me curious as to what YOU folks would list as your all time favorites. The following are mine, in no particular order after the first one...

The Bible (in various languages and translations)

Roughing It - by Mark Twain
Life On The Mississippi - by Mark Twain
Good Friends Good Guns Good Whiskey - by Skeeter Skelton
Hell, I Was There! - by Elmer Keith
The Walking Drum - by Louis L'Amour
Yondering - by Louis L'Amour
Horn Of The Hunter - by Robert Ruark
Single Action Sixguns - by John Taffin
Bigbore Sixguns - by John Taffin

That's it, from a pure reading pleasure point of view. If I were to make a list of ministry related books it'd be vastly different, but this list I compiled from my meager collection of books and reflects the ones that tend to get read over and over for the pure pleasure of sharing with the author.

So, what books do YOU turn back to read time after time - just for the pleasure of reading them?

Well, a lot of my favorites have been listed but based on my actual reading (eliminating THE good book i.e. limiting it to recreational reading)and re-reading...

#1 - "Sixguns" by Elmer Keith
#2 - "Hell I was There" by Elmer Keith
#3 - "Shotguns" by Elmer Keith
#4 - "Longbow" by Robert Hardy
#5 - "The Complete Dog Book"
#6 - "A Fortunate Life" by A. B. Facey (thanks to Bruce Scott!)
#7 - "Woodcraft" by George Washington Sears, "Nessmuk"
#8 - "Pet Loads" by Ken Waters
#9 - "Daniel Boone" by Jack Mack Faragher
#10 - "Winchester's .30-30 Model 94" by Sam Fadala

You might note that none of my favorites are fiction but I have read fiction now and again, usually under duress. Some have been passably pleasurable but none will ever be favorites.

"Hadmaid's Tale" Margaret Atwood
"Neuromancer" - Gibson

One Ranger, about the life of Joaquin Jackson, Texas Ranger.
Anything by Skeeter Skelton
John Taffins books
The Shootist, later made into John Wayne movie (my favorite)
Lonesome Dove

AJMD429 · Post by **AJMD429** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 12:28 pm

Any of James Thom's novels (historically accurate fiction). He covers the era between 1750 to 1850, with a midwestern focus. Lots about Tecumseh, the Clark family, etc.

The Red Heart (true story of Frances Slocum)
From Sea to Shining Sea (the entire Clark family)
Sign Talker (Lewis & Clark journey from perspective of French/Indian team member James Drouillard)
Panther in the Sky (Tecumseh)

All difficult to put down.

Also - Unintended Consequences (excellent novel about guns, laws, etc.) I wish someone like John Milius would make a movie based on this novel; it might be a way to get the movie-going public (whose biggest sociopolitical 'concern' is which brand of gas grill to buy) to understand the danger of gun control laws.

and - The TRUTH about the Fair Tax (Boortz)

finally - anything by Jack London (best read in the winter, or when out camping in cold weather!)

JReed · Post by **JReed** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:01 pm

1.The Corps series by W.E.B. Giffen
2. Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein
3. Rise To Rebelion, The Glorious Cause, Gone For Soldiers, Gods And Generals, and The Last Full Measure by Jeff Shaara
4. Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
5. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

Those are the ones I find my self rereading over and over again.

I actually have more O'Connor than Keith. But, for no real reason, I'd say.

I have Mr. O'Connor's books, but those I listed are my most read. I have Paco's book as well, but I've only read it 2 or 3 times so it didn't make "the cut". Dittos for Taffin's books. I flat wore out one copy of "Sixguns" and had to buy a second. How many times reading do you think it takes to have the book fall apart? I'm not careless either (Mom was a librarian

) so it was fair wear and tear for certain! I can smell the powder in Keith's writing. Can't get that from O'Connor's stuff.

I thought perhaps it was the "fat and slow" crowd leaning here versus the "light and fast". I haven't read any Keith but I need to pick one up and get started. I'm also intrigued by what some have said about P. Capstick's writings. I probably have odd tastes ... I just finished a piece of Jasper FForde fiction called The Big Over Easy about the suspicious death and following investigation of ... Humpty Dumpty.

Post by **Hobie** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:18 pm

I like Capstick and another favorite was Mark Baker's "Sons of a Trackless Forest". I have MANY other books, many read 3 or more times, but a complete list of good books wasn't the question!

To me, fiction is, well, fiction. I see enough of that on the news...

Last of the Breed-Louis LaMour

I've read those two books dozens of times. In fact they have been in constant rotation with each other for a couple years now, with Bendigo Shafter thrown in once in awhile. I have read most if not all of Lamours writings at least twice, probably three or four for many. I read other books, but those are the ones I read at bedtime.

Post by **AmBraCol** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:10 pm

Speaking of McManus, he didn't make the top ten list I posted and the only reason I can give is that his books are on another shelf. My wife finds it odd that I can lay there and laugh 'til I cry when I go through one of his books. GOOD humor has an element of truth, and I've lived TOO many situations like some that he elaborates to NOT find them HIGHLY humorous.

And, for straight forward clean comedy, Pat McManus and Samuel Langhorn Clemens (Mark Twain) are/were both masters of the art. If y'all have never read any of Twain's non-fiction like "Life on the Mississippi" and "Roughing It" - I HIGHLY recommend them...
