[Ace of Spades]

If anybody is interested in WW-2 Naval warfare be sure to read 'Last stand of the Tin Can Sailors' about the USN/IJN at the battle off Samar in october '44.
The story about Taffy 3 during the naval engagement around the Phillipines is absolutely breathtaking. Personal, bloody and accurate; one of the best books I've read in years!

Cheers,
Rob

Sister-in-law gave me Game of Thrones by George R R Martin for my birthday. I've never watched the TV series so it comes as completely fresh. Not as truly dreadful as I expected, but I still can't make heads or tails of the maps after a week's trying.

Panzergrenadier Divisions 1939-1945 by Chris Bishop

Inspiration in an attempt to break "painter's block."

Just finished 'Alexandra' (again).....Now on listening to Lustrum by Robert Harris. (Well, I AM about to start on the Imperial Romans, so these are slightly relevant....at least they have got 'Romans' in them. )

Halfway through Rome's Fallen Eagle by Robert Fabbri, part of another series based on an historical personage as action hero. This time it's Vespasian. I have to say that this is one of the better ones - almost up to Conn Igulden's standard. And there are at least three more books in the series.

Techno,
Maybe Rosemary Sutcliffe's 'Eagle of The Nineth' may be more apt as you do them and finish the Picts!

Snap! I really can't work unless I have something to listen to, and its a great way to read things I otherwise wouldn't have time to. I am on book 3 of Shelby Foote's Civil War trilogy this morning, its huge and has been keeping me going for a few weeks now.

"Legions of Rome: The definitive history of every Roman legion."  Stephen Dando-Collins

Does what it says really: the history of EVERY Roman legion from creation to disbandment or destruction: awesome.  Also includes a study of Roman unit organisation.

Got it on my Kindle for £1.99!!!  Bargain

Oh sorry, Techno. You know your wax cylinders? Well they now do them as plate like things for the new fashioned phonograph. Then, they took them and made them smaller and used a type of magic called "laser" to put them onto little disks. This was by converting the sound into a lot of little one and zeros, it's called digitised. Now, they don't even need the compact disks, and you can get the digitised sounds on your computer. You can buy books being read by people at a number of sites on the world wide web at places like Amazon. You can also get them free on LibriVox. You can get a copy of them on your computer. 

Conmputer? Well you know your typewriter ...
