[Sockeye]

Currently reading "Winged Victory" by V.M. Yeates

Ahoy Mateys!

I´m reading a Deserter´s Tale by Joshua Key. It´s about an American Soldier which according to himself had a enough of the War on Terror in Iraq and deserted to Canada. Why did Mr Key had enough? According to the book the War on Terror became a war, primary against the Iraqi Civilian People. The soldiers themself became the terrorist in Iraq.

I know it's an older book, but I am reading it for the first time. It is Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. I'm not to far into it, but I like it so far.

Sailor Steve! - I´m looking through this thread, and I´m impressed about the number of books that You´ve read. Gosh!, I have a big bunch of books behind my bed that should have been read to the end - I wish I had your energy

I´m that kind of guy that buys and lends books, but seldom finished them to the last page. I don´t have the patience and there always seems to be a more interesting book behind the corner

Well, there's a reason for that. A decade ago I was working for a book distributor's warehouse. One of the perks was free books. I still have about forty boxes full of all kinds of books I've never read. I was homeless for a very long time, and when you can't find work and you can't stay in the shelter in the daytime and you can't get online anywhere, you go to the library. So I would go to the library and get online for an hour, and then start reading all the things I promised myself I would long ago, plus new ones.

Now I have a place. I have my computer set up and I work on all the projects I've put off for more than a year. One of my roommates watches television all the time, and I never do. I also haven't picked up a book in the last three weeks. I guess having a place to live has its disadvantages as well.:rotfl:

Oh, and I still have forty boxes of books I've never read.

Excellent read. Did take me some time to get through it but well worth it.

Coming to the last 100 pages of Das Boot now, what a pleasure it has been to read. Going through the tough times with them, the boredom, the joys, simply marvellous.

Not sure about my next read, I have got Iron Coffins but I might have a break from U-boats and read a book I purchased a few weeks back for my fiancée. The Book Thief http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Thief-M...3164043&sr=8-1

[lambda*sqrt(u*x)]

Currently "Terre des hommes" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery...

and next one will be (finally found a copy):

"The last Days of Mankind" by Karl Kraus - a book I've really been looking forward to read for a long time.

[Kapt Z]

Found my old tattered paperback of 'The Boat' in a box in the basement. It's been 20+ years since I last read it so I couldn't resist one last look before the donation pile.

Someday I'll get the hardcover for keeps.

im reading a small book on German Invasion plans of Great Britian! tis good

[Sailor Steve]

I just picked up The Vinland Sagas, the original Norse tales of Eric The Red and his son Leif; English translation by Magnus Magnusson and Hermann Palsson, 1965 Penguin edition.

[Thomen]

I usually read multiple books at the same time. At the moment the list includes "The Hunt for Red October" (once again) and Rising Tide (by Gary E. Weir and Walter J. Boyne).

Cough splutter what rot.

The title of that book is a very bad idea, its more of a German survey of England taken during the 1930's. I agree its an interesting read but has nothing to do with the planning and preparation of Sealion.

Just finished the first of two bargain books from Osprey Essential Histories

The Suez Crisis 1956
Must pick up a more detailed book on this subject.

Now reading a little further back in History.....
The Arab-Israeli Conflict 1948
