Reading List

Each December we here at the Chronicles like to reflect on the year and peruse the books that have been read. More often than not it seems that the olde Rumbear selects a topic and dives in. Two years ago it was Teddy Roosevelt (6 books in 7 weeks). Last year a Bush Pilot reading extravaganza. This year WWII in the Pacific was a topic of note. For a number of years Douglas Mac Arthur was a God. Fascinating stuff. Then we got back to basics with what else...flying.. But, I digress. So here's my list for 2007. Recommendations are marked with a "**"
