Currently reading The Screwtape Letters (mom made me read it when I was 12, but always meant to read it again) and just finished Social Justice Fallacies by Thomas Sowell. He wrote it in 23 and most likely will be his last book considering his age.

Monster Hunter International, which I bought ages ago for the book thing here and never really read. It's well written but I'm not sure the monster topic will be for me.
Before that I read a book on the Halifax explosion from WW1 that I'd picked up years ago in Halifax. Before that, 1984, which I'd read 20 years ago and not since. Next up I'm not totally sure, I've got some historical books to read or I may try to pick up some sort of military thriller type book, as that's something I think I'd like and haven't tried a ton.
MHI was a solid read for me at least, decent series too.
Heck yeah.
Check out Monster Hunter Memoirs, which is a spinoff series, too. I believe it's mostly written by John Ringo, and Correia came in after to clean things up and make it fit into the rest of the lore...and attach his name to it. In many ways I like it better. I like Correia, so I don't like saying that, but the tone is so much different, and it's much more grounded. I love MHI, but it can get overly goofy at times. Memoirs just feels a bit more serious, and with a more cohesive tone, and more likable characters. It's also got an overall arc, since, with the memoir format, it's set in the past and can time skip when it needs to.
Larry Correia is a fun follow on X too.
Sounds interesting and I need to learn more about WW1. Growing up we learned a lot about WW2 and my grandfathers were WW2 vets so I could talk to them along with other vets but not so much with WW1. I do know about the Christmas Truce. Need to look up Halifax Explosion
I like to buy books when I travel about things relevant to the places I'd been. I know one of the historical books I have I bought last year in Estonia and it's about a family who sailed across the Atlantic in a relatively small boat to escape the Soviets. Can't remember the name and I'm not at home right now.
