It’s National Book Lover’s Day.

Time to get our noses out of our phones and into a good book. Whether it’s for good entertainment or to expand knowledge, books have been an important staple throughout history. So spend the day turning pages, there is no such thing as reading too much.

Don’t know where to start? The commandant of the Marine Corps has a few already hand selected. Books are designed to educate Marines on leadership and tactics as they advance in rank.
