Gib's reading list

One of my favorite pastimes right now is reading. What does a West Point cadet read in their spare time? While I love my textbook for the History of the Military Art and read it whenever I can (totally joking), below are some of the books I've read in the past year. The first list is those I have read, the second section is those I have started and not finished for a variety of reasons, and the third section is books on my shelf waiting to be read. Currently I am reading Boys of '67 by Charles Jones (which is very good so far).
