What are we reading?

[Martok]

I ended up going with Hell's Foundation's Quiver.  A very good read so far, but I now wish I'd re-read Like a Might Army first to refresh my memory of certain things.  Oh well. 

Re-reading The Silmarillion.  I'll probably move on to LotR after that.

I need to do this in the fairly near future as well.  Sigh; too many books and not enough time...

Just ordered Robert Massie's "Peter The Great: His Life And World: His Life And World"

D day, the battle for normandy by anthony beevor

^That's on my 'to buy' list. I did get his 'Ardennes' book last year, and that was a damn good read.

[Gusington]

I'll read anything by Beevor.

[JasonPratt]

Unacceptable. You should know I am attempting to shrink down my existing to-read pile and that my virtual to-buy pile is at 25 items already.

Just a reminder, you have a free pdf of Cry of Justice somewhere already. ;)

[Gusington]

Alright 26 items :/

Those Clancy books are fun as long as you skim them for the action parts. There's lots of unnecessary filler in his later books. It kinda reminds me of Stephen King, the more popular and well known he became the less anyone dared to edit him.

And apparently I just replied to a very old post. So much for reading the forums on my phone :p

The Great Northern War is on my reading list.
For all those who have read Massie's Peter the Great, this may be of great interest.  A military history of the war that Peter fought to bring Russia into Europe, and Sweden's attempt to keep it's Great Power status.

I whipped through This Book is Full of Spiders pretty quickly.  It was OK but nothing great.

I ordered a couple of Osprey books from Amazon and just cracked open Ki-61 and Ki-100 Aces.  Haven't started reading yet.  I'm just looking at the pretty pictures at this point.

[Gusington]

Bes have you read this?

I read it probably 10 years ago before the price got ludicrous.

Know any good games about the subject?   ;)

Thanks, Gus, had never seen this before.
Think I will see if can arrange a library loan though.  That is quite a lot.
