Was that the first or second series?

All of them. :)

Reading Left of Bang, which I recommend everyone read to protect their family. The Marines that got the training described, said they wish they had it before going on tour. Nuff said.

Just about to start Sven Hassel's "Legion of the Damned". After finishing O'Brian's "Master and Commander" and Dewey Lambdin's "The Invasion Year" from the Alan Lewrie series, I felt like a WW2 novel from the German side and found out about Hassel's series.

After that I have Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" lined up.

Aside from my usual research reading (which wouldn't apply well here), I'm still working through the web serial novel/series Worm (about a world infested with superheros and supervillains).

Definitely needs a bit of grammar and punctuation editing (the latter moreso than the former), but it continues to be extremely well plotted. The author deserves to do well when he or she gets around to self-publishing. (Naturally a publisher will be a bit loath to pick up the book/series since it's already freely 'published' on the web.)

Written with someone like Martok in mind.

I'm reading a dull book, which is not bad.

BanzaiCat · August 29, 2015, 07:12:39 PM

I'm more or less done with In A Sunburned Country now. I started reading Max Hastings' Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy.

I can't get through A Time for Trumpets. I feel like I need a goddamned atlas or Google Maps to keep track of everything.

Today my copy of 'Ardennes 1944 - Hitler's Last Gamble' by Antony Beevor arrived. If its up to his usual standard, it should be an excellent read.

Currently reading "The Lesser Dead" by Christopher Buehlman, a vampire story set in New York City in 1978.

Gus, have you read The Island at the Center of the World? It's about Manhattan's origins as a Dutch colony and it's impact on subsequent American history.

Gusington · September 10, 2015, 07:32:33 PM

^By Russell Shorto? Why yes, yes I have. Loved it. I wish there were more books on Manhattan's Dutch history...they are few and far between whether fiction or not. When I become a published author, I am going to write some fiction set in 17th century New Amsterdam to fill the void. 'Tis my mission.
