What is everyone reading now and/or read lately

Due to my neck problems, for the last 20 years I have had to lay on the bed and hold the book straight arm length above me, and my arms sure did get tired. Now I am mostly listening to the audio books. For me, they are the greatest thing. I also sometimes read books on the kindle or iPad. So for me it's only ebooks.
I was never taught any American history in early school. We lived in England for 4 yrs, so I learned British history. So to make a short story long, I am trying to learn as much as I can about WW2. So the last few ebooks have been
The Coming of the Third Reich Richard Evans
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. William Shirer
All But My Life. Gerda Klein
Farewell to Manzanar. Jeanne Houston
Mein Kamph. Adolf Hitler
I wrote the explanation because I didn't want you to think I was a illiterate Nazi lover.

Grumps, I think it's about time for a new Ranger Handbook.

I just got started on "Creating a Forest Garden, Working with Nature to grow Edible Crops" by Martin Crawford.

I the basis of the book is along these lines. Working to create a long term area to create a multi layered food production system. The plantings are chosen to work in unison with each other, Canopy type trees, with an under story of shrubs, and ground cover. Using perinneals and some annuals. Some plants are grown strictly to hold down weeds, other to increase soil nutrition. An example would be a grove of three or four pecan trees, with blue berries planted on the borders of the trees, several annual plants such as cabbage or such, and then a good ground cover (I haven't gotten very far yet).

I had this book recommended by a friend from the old site. He has been working on this system going on two years now and apparently is making some progress already. He says he will have somewhat of a harvest later this year. His thinking is to get food production coming in with very little work like you do with a typical garden, freeing up time for other important task in a SHTF situation. BTW, he has moved to his BOL already. I'm hoping to learn a lot and make use of this book as time goes on.

I just grabbed this PDF on Black Smithing from another site. I just scanned thru it, but it appears to be a pretty good book for someone just starting out. I'll get into it and do a report.

Thanks bp my DH is wanting to learn blacksmithing and I have been trying to find a place where he can learn that trade. I can't even find a blacksmith shop where they still do that like the old school.

Currently I am listening to the "Autobiography of Nikola Tesla", and "Wizard, the Life and Times of Nikola Tesla". And as far as actually reading a book, "One Second After" by William Forstchen. But I am still struggling with "Green Egg and Ham", ...esp. what is the main characters motivation, and as to why he won't eat them here nor there.
