On my short list is the diary of Mary Boykin Chestnut, who was highly quoted in the Civil War series by Ken Burns.

Also in the short list, but due to its expense might have to wait, is the Civil War diary by Edmund Ruffin. He is proclaimed to have fired the first shot at Fort Sumter. He also was a well credited author and was proclaimed the "Father of Soil Science". He committed suicide, rather than submit to Yankee rule. Quite the interesting fellow.

One day I'll get to the voluminous books I've colkected & want to read. They're long, but I'll get to them.

The Civil War Trilogy Narrative, by Shelby Foote. He also was often quoted in the Ken Burns series.

And, the Memoirs of Jefferson Davis, a two-part set.

The most fascinating book Ive read in the last year was, The Wartime Journal of a Georgia Girl by Eliza Francis Andrews 1864-1865.

The amount of relevant history she witnessed is astounding, and it's the number one book I recommend to my close friends who are history buffs.

The Bible. Specifically, Leviticus.

I bought myself a study Bible and started reading it almost 2 weeks ago. I plan to go through it, and then go back and hit all the notes to try to better understand it.

Read the series. Took a couple years. Great detail (a tad too much on the snakes that where Lincoln's cabinet)

I have Longstreet's memoirs. Haven't cracked it yet.

Didn't even know we had this thread....

Reading Cibola Burn by James S. A. Correy. 4th book of the Expanse series which is pretty much the best Sci Fi series I have ever read. If you enjoy Sci Fi, you really need to check it out.

Also, if you want a very good zombie series, written by an active duty soldier, the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot series by W J Lundy is great, finished the 5th book a week or so ago.
