What are you currently reading ?

Just started the 4th and final part of "The Serpentwar Saga" by Raymond E. Feist.  A 1990's series, but he's a great writer and it's a really good story.  I can imagine wargames set in this world - humans, elves, dwarves, lizard menand demons.

The Night of the Generals by Hans Hellmut Kirst. Finished Red Rabbit by Tom Clancy and finding TNotG's a bit slow going after Clancy.    Although I am enjoying some of the dialogue involving Grau so I'll give it a little longer.

[Malbork]

Well worth perservering with NOTG; Kirst is a much underrated writer.

I would heartily recommend Officer Factory and The Wolves if you make it through with Grau 

[Hertsblue]

Yeah, read them a long time ago, but you can really get into them.

Space Captain Smith: A Game of battleships, by Toby Frost. A dashed good read, whatwhat!

Hi,

A quick review can be found here:

World War II Infantry Tactics:Squad and Platoon by Dr Stephen Bull. I have no expertise in this area at all, but was inspired to get a copy as a by product of the enthusiasm for CoC by Too Fat Lardies.  I do not know how authoritative it is, but it is fascinating, and it does justify the approach taken by CoC.   Having tried recently to adapt rules to reflect tactical differences between combatants, I am a big convert to this way of producing Wargames rules.  Does this mean I will make my first foray into WW II since my Donald Featherstone days? Only time will tell!

The Woman Who Died a Lot the lastest in Jasper Fforde's alternative reality Thursday Next series. Thursday has been passed over as head of the SO-27 Literary Detectives department and has, instead, been appointed head of the Wessex Library Service - which has its own combat arm. Meanwhile, the Goliath Corporation has been turning out Thursday duplicates for their own nefarious purposes.

Anyone who can't laugh at Fforde's books has had a humour bypass.

I will have to try them

I love the Malcolm Pryce books Last Tango in Aberystwyth etc

Also re reading some Robert Rankin stuff at the moment

[goat major]

i went to University in Aberystwyth. It never quite seemed that exciting at the time

Currently reading another Horus Heresy book and then on to a collection of Solzhenitsyn stories. One of these books may be better written than the other. One will feature more chainswords.

i went to University in Aberystwyth. It never quite seemed that exciting at the time

Went to the College of Librarianship (Coleg LLyfrgellwyr Cymru) in Aberystwyth back in the 70s and trust me there was plenty of excitement at that time. It's a small community at the "edge of the known world" - to quote my Director of Studies - where you had to make your own entertainment. Drink, drugs, adultery, wife-swapping, free love and general debauchery - I was aware of and missed out on pretty much all of them

[goat major]

me too on most of them but i made up for it with the drinking.
