A Sniper in the Arizona by John Culbertson

 Memoir of a Marine Sniper in the "Arizona Territory" in Vietnam in 1967. A quick read, the combat action is more general platoon action than what one thinks of as classic sniper warfare.

A Better Life by Lionel Shriver

 Excellent, quick read by Shriver about an NYC family that takes in a Honduran "migrant" out of ideology. As usual, Shriver pulls no punches and provides an excellent story.

Evangelical Is Not Enough by Thomas Howard

 Excellent book from the late Thomas Howard (of Beverly Farms) showing what Catholicism has that Evangelicalism does not. It's a great book revealing insights on Catholic Sacramental life.

Battle Mountain by C.J. Box

 Latest in the Joe Pickett series. Another excellent story, but like the recent entries in this series, are more action oriented than game warden oriented.

This Hallowed Ground by Bruce Catton

 Excellent single volume history of the Civil War. Probably the best short history of the war I've read. Catton is terrific.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

 Re-read of a classic I last read decades ago. It definitely stands up and is worth a reading again every few years.
