I can't remember the last time I read a non-technical book, been 10 years at least, but I'm about done reading this book - The Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell - a retired Navy Seal.
Amazon.com: Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 (9780316044691): Marcus Luttrell, Patrick Robinson: Books
My company had Marcus come in and speak to us a few weeks ago...he told his story, which if you're not familiar with, you should be.
It's a true story of an American patriot, one willing to die for his country. He talks about how he started training to become a Navy Seal when he was a teenager, then takes us through Seal Training..including Hell Week.
He then takes us to Afghanistan in 2005 where he and 3 other Seals went out on what turned out to be one messed up mission. I'm not going to go into much more detail, but at least wiki it if you have no idea what I'm talking about.
It was a NY Times Best Seller so it's been around for awhile, but the story just amazes me. Makes me feel like I've done nothing with myself.
