What Are You Reading, Again?

[Drewcifer]

Right now I am rereading "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain. While it is a bit extreme it has many kernels of truth. An inspirational book for chefs and a window upon the lifestyle.

Blitzkrieg by Len Deighton

Great stuff!!

Esspecially like the part about the German panzer and infantery tactics and how they were developed. And it has some nice photos.

Ha, read that a month ago. It's good, as his books usually are.

I'm rereading a couple of books; Issola by Steven Brust and Nomad of the Time Streams by Michael Moorcock.

Let's just say great minds read the same great books

It's really a good book, you have a view of overall global politics but also at the army on micro level, tactics and stuff, the development of the blitzkrieg doctrine. I'm on page 178, looking forward to what he's going to say about the invasion of Holland.

I just bought "Coming Home: Why Protestant Clergy Are Becoming Orthodox" and "Dr. Zhivago."

Sorry mate, it sucks, hehehe.

If you like Asimov and haven't read these already try the following by Isaac Asimov/Roger Allen - Caliban, Inferno and one I can't remember due to alcohol. Damn. Alternatively, Nemesis.

Those to my mind stand out as the best of his books.

The Bridges at Toko-ri by James Michener.

Haven't had much time to read, although over the break I'm probably gonna pick up Michael Chrichton's new book State of Fear. Last book I read was The Last King, by Michael Curtis Ford. Talented guy, and it's only his third book in as many years.

From where I am (which is about chapter 2, hehehe), it does seem a good read, and Deighton's style is very readable (unlike some historians).

Ludlum, The Sigma Protocol.

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Just got three new books today-
Billy Ruffian, the biography of a ship, the Bellerophon, during the Napoleonic Wars.
Stalin- The Court Of The Red Tsar. It's about Stalin.
Empire- about the British Empire.

Not the best books I could've picked, but there was a nice 3 for 2 offer on.

I've read those two books, superb!

I recommend you try next "The History of the English Speaking Peoples" by Winston Churchill, terrific stuff.

Hi!

I recently finished reading "One Trillion Dollar" by Andreas Eschbach and now started "The Return of the Dancing Master" by Henning Mankell . The first is about a man who gets one trillion dollar as a legacy. The latter is a (fictional) Krimi about old nazi-warcriminals. Both very good.
