Is anyone aware of a web site where I can put in the title of four or five books I liked and have it spit out some recommendations based on my likes?

Knowing you’re dying can be murder.

That feature is 50% cool and 50% creepy. At least they are honest about tracking your data.

Yankee Samurai - Joseph Harrington

Thanks to Gene for the recommendation.

Ran across a last name I’m familiar with so asked an old college buddy if he was related to those men. He wasn’t but turns out his Dad was an interpreter too but served in post-war Japan. Doesn’t appear that he knew my MIL.

Finished the first one above, now reading the third, very good with, many individual stories. In between I read a couple other books for a break.* War stories can get to me and add in the tragedy of what was done to Japanese Americans in WWiI and I really needed a break.

Stolen Focus - Johann Hari

What an eye opening book about why we have so much trouble focusing on things. It got a little "climate change" preachy at the very end for no reason, but man what a great read.

Gene, how'd you like "War is a Racket", Smedley D. Butler?

I'm impressed by Butler and the length and breadth of his exploits all over the world, fighting on behalf of America and American interests and allies. He may be a more accomplished soldier than MacArthur...
