What book are you reading ??

[Clave]

Just finished Runes of the Earth by Stephen Donaldson, and Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E Feist and Janny Wurts.

Abour 1/3 through Servant of the Empire by the same authors, and a little way into (about 150 pages) Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan.

I love my Fantasy/Scifi novels and could easily read 1,000 pages each week, but they would be gone all too soon, so I kind of 'ration' them out...

I completed the rereading of Ryan's A Bridge Too Far. Definitely worth of a reread, somewhat pro-Allied but surely not pro-Monty with reasonable amount of German material.

Now I'm reading Keskinen's and Stenman's Suomen Ilmavoimat/Finnish Air Force 1943, Volume V of bi-language history of FAF. Finnish/English text and captions, many good-size very well reproduced photos to those who gives much weight to photos. Very good book, much effort is put to try to obtain also the Soviet PoV of the air combats which I appreciate much. I would have liked more text with less pictures but that a question of tastes.

Just finished "We where soldiers once...and young" by Moore Galloway. Great read of a pivital battle in the Vietnam War. Heroic and yet sad at the same time... Recommended, though I imagine a good deal others have read it already.
