And, boy, did it look different than years past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s in a new format: Unlike previous years, there is just one list this year, for Marines of all ranks (and reading levels \u2015 there\u2019s at least one with pictures!). The list also includes podcast and periodical suggestions, to really balance it out and bring it into the 21st century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only were books focused on female Marines finally included on the list, but so was a graphic novel by Terminal Lance comic strip creator Maximilian Uriarte. Viral courage and vulnerability researcher Bren\u00e9 Brown made the list. Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter\u2019s book got a nod, so did the memoir of Marine icon Jim Mattis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full list is below.
