In an attempt to re-rail the thread ... I'm reading the DBA 3.0 rulebook. Or, more accurately, I'm pillaging the army lists in the rulebook for further ideas on the composition of Early Bronze Age armies!

Read through the Men Who Would Be Kings and it has made me think about digging up my Zulu War pack that I bought a few years ago and getting them painted up to try it out.

Listening to "Jail Busters" by Robert Lyman.

and

Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy, audiobook

Curious about audio books - never listened to one - are you actively listening to the exclusion of everything else, or is it just on in the background, as it were?

Thanks, Martyn

I find audio books great when I'm painting or driving or doing housework.

I also have a habit of starting to listen to something when in bed, then waking up several hours later with a huge gap in the plotline.

I find them either great fun...and very entertaining....(depending on the story, obviously.).....Or I get so engrossed in pushing putty around, that I don't listen properly, and get completely lost, as far as the plot is concerned.

Cheers - Phil.

I just finished "Balkan Wars" by Richard C. Hall. Now I am reading Jane Casey's "The Burning"
Balkan Wars were OK. The Burning is Burning!

Still rate Ruth Wilson as my favourite incarnation of Jane Eyre.
