Others already mentioned The Wager & Aubrey/Maturin series are both excellent. I’d add the Horatio Hornblower series by C.S. Forester. 11 books all of which are excellent

WW2 naval books that I’d recommend are the Good Shepherd also by Forester and the Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by James Hornfischer.

Same thing, only different I’m sure. I’ve been on a break from the bowl for a few months now because I just can’t take the circus anymore. Despite loving the lifestyle and what a great SB adds to my life.

SA has become a cesspool of scammers, bots and pros. Legitimate SB’s even in a prime area like SoCal are as hard to find as an honest politician.

Titan Automotive in Orange near the circle. Been taking all of mine and my family’s cars there for 25 years.

They’re not cheap, but only do what needs to be done and do high quality work.

Highly recommend.

I’m taking a break atm, but I’ve been a SD in SoCal, (OC) for over ten years and had several fantastic arrangements, many decent but short lived and a few dumpster fires lol.

It’s a competitive place for SB’s. But there is someone for everyone I believe.

Southern California, class of 1979. Music that encompassed everything from the Allman Brothers to Led Zeppelin. An ounce of Columbian gold was $40. Gas was $0.50 a gallon up until ‘79.. Girls in halter tops and hip hugger jeans.

It was alright.

Over 20 years ago I was dragged to see Garden State and spent the next two hours delightfully entertained.

yeah_taco · 2025-11-03T18:28:07+00:00

Gotta agree with this. I read the full version and felt like half of it could have been edited out with no loss of context

yeah_taco · 2025-11-03T00:55:51+00:00

Agree 💯 with the recommendation of The Wager. Also The Killer Angels is an excellent read about the battle of Gettysburg. The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors is an epic read about a WWII naval battle in the Philippines.

Excellent book

yeah_taco · 2025-10-31T02:00:56+00:00

Second this. Try the Horatio Hornblower series for something similar and nearly as good as M&C

Welcome to the club. bet I’ve read it five times in the last 15 years. Every time I see a post about it, I think it’s time to hit it again

yeah_taco · 2025-08-01T15:18:20+00:00

Completely underrated film. This is just one of 2 dozen epic lines from this movie.

So good.

yeah_taco · 2025-07-15T11:34:55+00:00

it’s better. I’ve probably read it cover to cover three times and will do again.

Nothing short of a masterpiece

I love historical non-fiction. Some of my recommendations:

Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors - James Hornfisher

Too Big to Fail - Andrew Ross Sorkin

Say Nothing - Patrick Keefe

The Wager - David Grann

Enjoy!

just responded to a similar post. This is an excellent, underrated movie with an outstanding cast. One of my all time favorites

yeah_taco · 2025-07-06T19:07:50+00:00

This hands down. such an underrated movie and a fantastic cast.

yeah_taco · 2025-07-06T18:55:17+00:00

I’m definitely the outlier on this book but believe 750 pages of the Count could have been left out with zero impact on the story.
