What was the last book you read? Did you like it? Why or why not? What

What book that you've read is your favorite? What did you learn from
it?


What was the last place you visited outside of the US? Did you like
it? Why or why not?


What book are you reading now?


Where haven't you been that you would most like to travel to outside
of the US? And within the US where haven't you been that you'd like to
go?


What three books would you recommend as "must reads" to somebody?
(More than three is OK too.)


Here are several nice, polite discussion starters for you.


We can see that his complaints about not being able to have polite
discussions are empty.


I've tried to engage him in music and audio discussion, but he
refuses. He's here to troll.


What three books would you say are your all-time favorites?

I'd say (off the top of my head) Anna Karenina, Catch-22 and maybe
David Copperfield. Little Big Man (great movie as well). Two Years
Before the Mast which gives an insightful look into California when
the white (not angry white, just white) population of that state was
probably in the low hundreds.

There are a few military-related books, for example Shelby Foote's
very readable history of the Civil War or "A Few Great Captains", that
are up there too. the Caine Mutiny and Mutiny on the Bounty. The list
goes on and on.

It's kind of funny. I don't think I could possibly stop at three and
ScottW cannot come up with one.

I wonder if ScottW would ever consider joining a friendly discussion
on literature.
