While the story was amazing considering the bravery and acts the seal team went through plus the selflessness of the tribesmen...I was really put off by that book. He complained a lottttt about how the media made his unit not kill those two sheepherders. Everything else about that book is incredible - it was just very annoying to hear him bring that up every like 10 pages...
 
Walden by Henry David Thoreau is what I just finished. It was an awesome, fairly quick read that I would recommend everyone to read.

...Except that the author apparently has a hard time distinguishing the difference between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and other sects and splinter groups that are unaffiliated with that Church... many of his statements are inaccurate and cause the reader to believe that they are one and the same.

Killing LincolnThe Innocent Man

Into Thin Air

Into The Wild

The Exploration of the Colorado River and its Canyons

Touching the Void

 
I don't read a shit load, but 2 non-fiction that stood out for me were:

Beyond the Horizon. about the first human powered trip around the world. really good read.

Biohazard. About the Soviet biological weapons program in the Cold War. some chilling stuff in there. highly recommended if you're into that sort of stuff.
 
if you are into survival/history check our "undaunted courage" by stephen ambrose. talks in detail about day to day life of the louis and clark expedition. good shit.
