I was always impressed that younger soldiers were actually reading, not what they were reading. Books are to the mind what weights are to the muscles.

TR has a point. I waited 21 years before I broadened my horizon to the classics and other material that had nothing to do with the military/politics.

Currently: Constitutional Law and the Criminal Justice System (text book)

Just finished: Scandalmongers by William Safire (you think MSM is bad now, they were brutal back in the Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr days)

On the lighter side, remember when a reading list was an appendix in the ODA SOP? It was about the same time when reading the newspaper in the team room was considered f---ing off. (you can read that current events stuff on your off time)
