Additional reading

Deadly Revenge, by R.E. (Mike) Patterson. A police suspense type book. Interesting enough story, needing some careful proofreading and editing, though. Had the feel of a self-published book. A used paperback pickup for pennies from the USAHEC book store. Good for a bit of reading on a couple of nights. Great diversion from the last two days prior to election on Nov 3 this year. 

Mind Prey, John Sandford. Also a police mystery type book, much better written, listened to as an audio book during my early morning ruck marches. Hoopla lend through the Mooresville Public Library. Language and some scenes not for the faint of heart or those preferring "clean" literature. 

The Geometry of Wealth, Brian Portnoy. I enjoyed this one as I enjoy many books on behavioral finance. It is the intersection for me of my background in psychology, and then more recently the business background. I plan to retire early and am still figuring out what I retire to. There are many stories where military folks I know just don't live very long after they retire, and I hope to not just survive in retirement but also find some form of what Portnoy refers to as "funded contentment".  New paperback copy, I think from Amazon.
