Finished issue 50 of The Gettysburg Magazine.  Typically the magazine has military  articles.  I believe over the previous 49 issues every brigade, North or South, has been covered.

This issue was about the 3 reunions; 1913, 1939 and 2013.  Personal remembrances rather that military.  I didn't enjoy it.

Crikey! someone had personal memories of Gettysburg in 2013!

There are non-military books? 

I'm currently reading one of the "In Death" SF crime novels, and I've got a couple of original "Saint" novels queued. I've also got a book about time keeping called "A Short History of Time" on my bedside elephant.

France at Bay 1870 1871 - the second in Douglas Fermer's history of the FPW. Once again a book on a subject I thought I knew a lot about which includes events I knew little of after all, such as the events at Chateaudun and the battle of La Bourgance.

Henderson's book is tremendous value for money. He also did a good one on Froeschwiller, also available from Helion.

Just finished "Kris Longknife, Tenacious" by Mike Shepard.  Outer space Sci-Fi.  This is the 12th book in the series.  In the same vein as the Honor Harrington series.

Generally I read military history but like the military Sci-Fi as well as some fantasy, eg "Game of Thrones".

Finished the Osprey "US Heavy Cruisers 1943-75" by Mark Stille.  Always good data from him.
