Avid Naked Readers
For those who love to read, either old fashioned paper books ( and my preferred way) or the new fangled ebooks. There was a book reading nudist group at one time but i have not found any trace of it. So this will fill the void.

Book Recommendations
Return to DiscussionsI'm currently reading "The Templar Mission" by Zena Halpern who just recently passed away at the age of 88. She was featured quite a bit on HISTORY's "The Curse of Oak Island". I'm 10 percent into the book and so far its been very interesting! Very well researched.

Randall Sullivan formerly of Rolling Stone Magazine has a new book out dealing exclusively with Oak Island. That one is on my reading list for this winter.

I finished "The Lesions Of History" by Will and Ariel Durant. Published in 1968. The cover one hundred centuries in one hundred pages. The book is extremely thought provoking .

I've got their "History of Civilization" series. They're very good writers.

Are the recommendations suggested here for Non-Fiction books or open to recommendations for Fiction titles? For a non-fiction recommendation I would offer Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. Its the story of the group of young men who formed a rowing team that beat the Ivy League rowing teams to represent the United States at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin (aka the Nazi Games)

I don't see any reason why fiction recommendations would be out of line here, so have at it! I'll second your recommendation of The Boys in the Boat - it was quite good, and gave a good feel for just how hard that sport is.

"The Middle Passage" by James Hollis published 1993: was a quick read about experiencing Midlife based on Carol Jung's concept of individualism and our commitment to others.

The Boys in the Boat is one of the best books I have read. And I am an avid reader. The story is inspiring and the author does a wonderful job bringing it to life. AFTER reading it look up the newsreel clip of the actual race. It is online.

I recommend you read "Civilisation" by Kenneth Clark. Published in 1968.
