What are you currently reading ?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Worth getting hold of The Seige of Paris too.

[Hertsblue]

Wading my way through a trio of Michael Crichton thrillers, Next, Micro and Prey. Well researched, if somewhat far-fetched, page-turners. What I think of as "waiting at the station" reading.

the "What are you currently reading ?" thread on this forum. (has another smartass said that before me?)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Yes, on page 1

Often I find myself perusing this, while visiting the necessary. I can't drive though 



Totally absorbing.

I'm reading "Battles of the Dark Ages" by Peter Marren.

Hence http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10584.0.html

I'm not getting at Mr Marren. I've shelled out for several of the Bretwalda Battles series and had much the same result.

probably next book I read will be fiction ~

Jun'ichi Watanabe - Beyond the Blossoming Fields

That sounds a cheery read. Think I'll pass up on that one.

Just finished "The Last Gaiter Button: A Study of the Mobilization and Concentration of the French Army in the War of 1870", by Thomas J. Adriance.

Gets into details which is perfect for the campaign I am putting together.

Fascinating, I've never heard of this one, is it a modern work? Have you read Richard Holmes 'The Road to sedan', highly recommended.

[kipt]

"The Last Gaiter Button" was printed in 1987.  I bought it through Amazon from Jomini6400 (whoever that is).  It is a Greenwood Press print, part of the Contributions of Military Studies, number 73.

I do have Holmes, as well as "The Siege of Paris" noted previously.

Finished "US Navy Dreadnoughts, 1914-45", an Osprey.  Interesting history of the old dreadnoughts.

[Leman]

Neil Thomas, One Hour Wargames. Looks like it could generate some good games.

[Poggle]

Catastrophe 1914: Europe goes to war, by Max Hastings. An interesting read. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Think I might have to order this, just read the first sample:

Allenby's War - The Palestine-Arabian Campaigns, 1916-1948 by David L Bullock

Just starting but fascinating so far.

Thanks for the loan Peter
