This year, I'm taking some time to work on getting back to reading. I've read the majority of the Senior Leaders' reading lists in the past, but thought that maybe some folks here would have some good ideas for books to read in 2014

So far:
The Odyssey: Homer - I'm sure most of us remember this from English Class in high school/College. Interesting to pick up years later.

The First Heroes - Craig Nelson - The extraordinary story of the Doolittle Raid, America's first WWII Victory

Attacks - Field Marshal Erwin Rommel - Rommel's personal journal from WWI with still-relevant lessons learned

I'm reading my own book - Waging War On Debt (ok shameless plug) which was written from years of teaching our Military to kill debt & create wealth utilizing our unique opportunities and mitigating our challenges. I share a simple 10 step plan which will have you completely debt free (including mortgage) and have residual income, so you can actually retire on your Military retirement pay.

Where is the best place to purchase/Find your book? Amazon? Or an e-reader like Kindle?

SFC,

Over the past year I've read War, Ender's game (not on the reading list last I saw, but a book that should speak to S2s everywhere), and am in the process of reading Once an Eagle which is taking significantly longer than I'd prefer, but between family and work I don't have much time for anything else at this point.

Reading for purely entertainment purposes these days, I am re-reading a couple different series of books: Tom Clancy and Harold Coyle novels.

Always a fan of Tom Clancy. Nothing like re-reading an old favorite, either.
