Intro

I must start off by saying as a child I was not much of a reader and I struggled with reading comprehension all through school.  It was not until I joined the Army and was deployed numerous times that I would occupy my spare time with reading.  Books are and have always been an easy entertainment for soldiers to transport with them and a good escape from what may be going on around them.

In my current job, I do a lot of reading and research to help develop some of the Army’s current doctrine for training.  I must say when I do read at night, for at least 30 minutes, I use it to unwind from the day and relax.   However, while deployed I tend to read more often.  I prefer books that are usually suspense thrillers and good old traditional fantasy books.

I will finish a book titled “A Dance with Dragoons” by George R. R. Martin this week and move back into “The Pillars of Creation” a book in the series “The Sword of Truth” by Terry Goodkind.   I hope you find my thoughts about my read enjoyable and entertaining.
