Read Band of Brother on holiday, a very well researched book.

 

I've got to have something to read or else I start to get a bit odd(er).

 

As long as it's not to do with a young boy in school with a magic stick or an autobiography by some celeb tw*t I'll read it, including to my surprise anthropology text books by mistake, good read though:

 

"Guns Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond

explains the development of man in general and why some area grew/ developed faster than others i.e why the Spanish were able to conquer S.America and not the other way around.

i've got most of the stephen ambrose books including pegasus bridge which was the first book he wrote about the second world war and a copy was given to all the veterans he interviewed for his subsequent books. However Wild Blue takes some getting into as it chops around between the crews of differnt planes in a squadron in italy. Another good read is Joseph Heller's Catch 22, I think everybody knows a major major or a milo minderbender! I have just finished reading all the bernard cornwell sharpe novels which are better than the tv series.
