My last reads...the Musketeer series by Dumas, very entertaining, can be found on line, all good reads..
The Three Musketeers
Twenty Years After
Ten Years Later
The Missing Viscount
Louise de la Valliere
The Man in the Iron Mask (Nothing like the movie of the same name with Gabriel Byrne, John Malkovich)
and I have to say... did a search on here for "poser", hilarious the collection of various BS meters out there. Should have a "Poser's Pool" set up here to link all the comic relief that happens in those threads.....
Still giggling....... engraved my name on me rifle.......lol..... make it stop!

Interseting list. I've read about half the ones here and from the titles wouldn't mind reading the other,
Harry Potter excepted (sorry there alumni buddy). Also interesting to see I'm not the only one with 2-3 books going at once.
As for myself, just finishing up Ghosts of Medak by Carole Off.

"Two nights ago I finished reading The Wars - Timothy Findley"
Good call Sheerin! What did you think of it? I'd wager its one of the best books I've ever read. Findley is fantastic.

"The voice of War: WW2 told by those who fought it"
Can be very dry at times, as some journals are included from less than significant people. On the other hand, includes a lot of interesting personal journals from Pte.'s in Tobruk, El Alamein, Stalingrad etc. as well as men of higher stature such as Churchill, Gen. Montgomery, Rommel... etc.

Anytime. You want to borrow my copy? 8)
I agree The Threat (Inside the Soviet Army) by Andrew Cockburn is/was agood source for Soviet bloc . Still have my dog earred copy. Back when they were the bad guys it and Suvurov's books were almost bibles amongst those of us who took "know thy enemy" to heart.
