Default What are you reading right now?

I'm on page 484 of Robert K Massie's Castles of Steel, an account of the naval conflict between Germany and Great Britain during the first world war. Right now I'm reading about the Dardanelles campaign (that's Gallipoli for everyone else ) and I'm looking forward to reading Massie's take on Jutland. I should be done in a few days and I'll post a review shortly afterwards.

I've spent the last 50 pages muttering to myself "this is a bad idea, this is a bad idea!" I mean, sending a battleship squadron through the Dardanelles, blasting away at Turkish forts as they go, and sending trawlers in at night to clear mines under heavy fire? Something was bound to go wrong! I have to say Winston Churchill isn't coming across all that great right now...
