Re: Whatcha reading redux.
Finished reading "Strands of Sorrow" by Ringo the other night. Slowly working my way through "Fry the Brain".

I have most of the destroyer books in epub format. Gotta put some kind of reader on my phone. My life is suffering from a ashore age of chuinisms

I just got a copy of "The Guns Of August". This will actually be the first book specifically on WWI that I have read.

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
It's good. If you want more, I recommend Keegan's The First World War and Massie's Dreadnought and Castles of Steel. Massie's books are rather like MacPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom in that it starts before the war and puts it in its political context. Keegan and Massie are both great writers. I think I've recommended these before, so apologies for repeating myself. Getting old.Kommander wrote:I just got a copy of "The Guns Of August".

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
Just finished Corriea's "Son of the Black Sword" and it was good. Larry's found his voice.
Almost through David Weber's "Sword of the South" and it's good to get back to the Bahzell Bahnakson world again.
Next up is more David Drake.

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
Just downloaded Kevin Hearne's latest Iron Druid book, "Staked". Currently relistening to the entire series, and right in the middle of Trapped. Luke Daniels does an awesome job of narrating.

Re: Whatcha reading redux.
5th Jack Reacher book was basically Jack Reacher versus the racist rednecks...and a hit squad.
On to book 6, "Without Fail". I think it's gonna be Reacher saves the Veep.
