Y'all, here are some of the books I read within a heavy reading year. I was in a reading mood, and quite frankly couldn't put a book down that year. You people all know what I am saying when you get in a certain mood for something it sounds so darn appealing. Reading, for certain I found beneficial. The book not shown that I read was American Sniper. I will admit, Sully books, Chelsea Sullenberger books, Tammy Jo Schultz Nerves of Steel along with Kerry McCauley Ferry Pilot were among some of my favorites, along with The Aviators, reading about Charles Lindberg and Eddie Rickenbacker and Jimmy Doolittle was interesting. Fly girls about Ruth Elder and Ruth Nicols and Amelia Earheart along with some other was a real interesting read as well. Rickenbacker was one of my favorites in the Aviators, especially when they were stuck on a raft in the pacific after his plane crash flying airliners that laid him up with a cane. When him and the other pilots were stranded out in the pacific on a raft and they were getting a little sick of his crankiness. Or Lindberg when he flew across the Atlantic and escorted out of the tri motor built by Ford and carried around by a bunch of French people, he didn't speak French, he was glad when two of their navy pilots came and got him. 81 days below zero, about that tail gunner of the bomber who had to eject out the plane in Alaska, and this was way back prior to all advancement in avionics and technology. He survived that many days freezing in Alaskan wilderness, into the abyss was really interesting about survival tactics and survival after plane crashes. The Ferry Pilot book was good, real good, my favorite part was when the owner that guy lit a cigar when the author was flying picking up a Beechcraft out of Europe flying back across the Atlantic or could of been Egypt they picked that Beechcraft up at after he talks about the pyramids  and he freaked out because he smelt leaking av gas in backseat in ferry tanks for across long distance. Or when he was staying below storms flying through storms, right above the African jungle was real interesting as well. Fly girls, about Elder, Nicols, Earhart and I'm drawing a blank on some of the others there was a Jackie, but she wasn't in for long due to a crash in old GEEBEE airplanes they used to do airshows in, they were snub nosed and had lots of problems back then with air race crashes. The Forgotten 500 was fascinating that they, the united states armed troops, and allied forces along with guerilla forces were able to build an airstrip without the Nazi's knowing other enemies. They were able to get the downed bomber and behind enemy lines hunkered down in allied forces troops home safely. That was another really good read. Sully was good read, by Chelsea Sullenberger, really interesting reading about his military time, as well as the funny humorous part he tells about when they had wet clothes and someone went and got the crew dry clothes and him and his copilot Jeff were given 34 waist jeans which Sully said fit him alright, but his copilot was complaining about those not fitting for years prior. Sully also talks about good details of the flight, I mean even down to he had two sandwiches packed for his lunch that day, and all he had to drink the night before was one beer at dinner. Nerves of Steel, she talks about her Navy career, as well as her southwest airline career were my favorite parts of that book, that was another really good read and really interesting the Navy doesn't have an instructor on board first time they land on a carrier. Reading was a great outlet between therapy's, as well as listening to music. Now working on motivational stuff, still listen to music but not reading as much. I've been reading the Flipside now by Mace Curran as well as the Bible most often right now, normally in a reading mode I would've been done with the flipside in three to four days, but in a non reading mood, or fighting to read its going longer. The Flipside, by Mace Curran is an extremely good read as well finished this morning, especially when she talks about cognitive reappraisal, I find it vital to surround myself that support this, as well as regret aversion (something I struggle with the smallest of things it is ridiculous). Found her flight time for the thunderbirds really interesting, her divorce really sad what she went through until found her husband now. Her flight time over Afghanistan and her friend Taj sounded really neat as well, my inner critic as she talks about happens to be a former middle school friend who was also around throughout high school of the inner voice always telling me I am not enough. Her friend that set the lake Tahoe race was a freak with what he was able to do. Man, I really have read some good reads some good books. Sometimes reading makes me to remember to enjoy life. Now, the latest book I have read was Through a Farmers Eyes, by Ryan Stainbrook about hardships with farming and family was a real good read. Quite sad at moments, really shows the hardships with that farmers face. Now, the book I am reading is How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us Abut Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan, but I put that book down, I have been reading Corey Taylors book Seven Deadly Sins now. What to read something right now with some personality, and not more research type text. As of now he has covered Adolf Hoffman chemist who founded LSD in a chem lab in the 1940's, and about how there is such a spiritual durative underlying those treatments. He originally called it his problem child, but found while taking the trip (now mind you this was before study's were done to find out a medicinal dose, he just founded this new thing in a LSD lab), how intense and scary things were. But the day after, is the opposite of a hangover. LSD effects the body much differently than alcohol. Every April 19th is Bike Day in memory of Hoffman, this came since he had to get home in a rush after his first LSD trip, to lie down and get medical attention and had to take a bicycle home because autocars were prohibited lots of time during the war for civilians. A couple books on my list of books to read are Tim TeBows, as well as Tim Kennedy's, and to finish Kristi Noems books. There are so many books started then finish one then him ha around which one to read next.
