What are we reading?

[Gusington]

Oh yeah, I know that one. Very well reviewed book.

[OJsDad]

Read Ghost Fleet a couple of weeks ago.  Quick read.  Not as strong as Red Strom Rising or Red Phoenix, but pretty good.

Recently, I've finished Collision of Empires and Germany Ascendant.  Both by Prit Buttar.  These are the first two of a four book series about the eastern front during World War 1.  It covers Russia, Germany, Austria-Hunger, and Serbia. 

I've started on the third book in the series, Russia's Last Gasp. 

I'm really starting to get into WWI with this series and the Der Weltkrieg table games.

So I just came from my village library's book sale and got:

- Neptune's Inferno - The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by Jaames Hornfischer - perfect library hard copy, 1.00

I recently read this book and liked it a lot. I was at a bookstore last weekend and saw another book that he wrote on the war in the Pacific from 1943-45, so I bought it.

Good finds!

Neptune's Inferno is a favorite of mine. I've loved everything I've read by Hornfisher.

I have a ridiculous backlog of books right now. Almost as bad as my game backlog :P

Found this in the bargain section a weeks ago and just finished reading it. Gives a good history of the SS in general and brief histories of a lot of Waffen SS divisions. It's basically a compilation of smaller Osprey books.


Now back to:

[Gusington]

I just bought that Victorian City book for about a dollah.

I'm on the section about traveling to and from London on coaches. I think you'll find the book interesting.

Just starting A Stillness at Appomattox by Bruce Catton

[Gusington]

Wally - yeah the book looks very interesting. Also looks like a quick, breezy read.

I found several of the Bruce Catton Civil War books in my Mom's inheritance from her favorite uncle. {checking} Not that one tho.

This reminds me, I have a few giveaway book offers I need to list somewhere...
