Top 10 Favorite Books
 

Most of us Parker folks seem to think a bit alike and enjoy some of the same things. I'm just curious as to what your Top 10 Books or authors might be? Perhaps there may be one or two out there that some of us have missed. "Tis the season."

Oh, you said ten... I'm sorry - I got carried away glancing over just a couple of shelves but I know I've missed a bunch of good ones.

Titles?... just about anything they wrote are all my favorites. I really can't narrow it to ten.

Judges, OT

Shooters Bible, 1945-1954. Top 20? Shooters Bible, 1945-1964

Anything by Thor Hyerdahl, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemmingway, and most especially, Winston S. Churchill

Robert Ruark. My favorite is The Old Man and the Boy. All of Ruark's books are excellent.

Robert Ruark, Jack O'Connor, Russell Annabel, Corey Ford, Gene Hill, John "Pondoro" Taylor, Charley Dickey, Gordon MacQuarrie, Peter Capstick.

Gunther, Mullens, Parker and Price. Chas. Askins the Senior, Gordan MacQuarrie, A.W. Money (Bluerock), Havilah Babcock, Nash Buckingham, Elmer Keith.

One book I enjoyed many years ago was The 13 valley by John Del Vecchio. I don't read much any more, just The Book. Enjoyed bad word, The book was intersting. A book about war so one can't really enjoy it.
