Not enough people know about this book.
It's incredible.
It's called Over the Beach.
It was Stockdale's favorite book about the air war in Vietnam.
And then the guys that get shot down.
So I just read that.
I think you would like that.
If you don't read a lot, I think you would like that book.
Perfect.
And then the last one, you ever read any Hunter S. Thompson?
Yes.
Okay, so Hunter S. Thompson, we think of as the badass, wild man, crazy guy.
You think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a book about drugs and alcohol, which it is, but the subtitle of that book is about the American dream, because he's also one of our most astute sort of cultural and political writers.
And so this is Freak Kingdom, and it's about...
uh, Hunter S. Thompson as a political thinker and critic.
Because he covers Nixon, he covers Carter, he covers, like, every presidential candidate between, you know, sort of the late 60s and then his death.
And, uh, I don't know, I got the sense, I think it would line up with where, because you're kind of like a man without a party.
You're politically engaged, you have, but you're not, like, Democrat, Republican.
Mm-hmm.
Um, I think you'd like that book.
