Black gun seems like it could be really fun, provided the author is any good. That said, if you get into COS territory on your blog I would really like to hear your thoughts on the theory of inclusivism or whatever it was called.


Ditto. But then again, I really love discussing some Cos topics. :)

You do what you have to do. I just can't recommend one of them, is all.

I understand your objection to the Christian stuff, but out of sheer curiosity, what's your objection to the biography of Bass Reeves? By pretty much any account he's up there with Robert Peel in the pantheon of honorable lawmen. He was also a successful black man at a time when racism was rampant.

No objection; just ignorance. I can't recommend a book I know nothing about. :shifty:

Ah. Okay, that makes sense. But something to consider: a lot of folks are picking stuff for other categories because they want me to be the guinea pig for them. Feel free to use that logic, if you'd like. ;)

I've never heard of any of these books before. Nor do I read nonfiction.

I votes for Chainsaw twice.
