Just finished reading for the second time. Very tragic but shows the will of the human spirit and the love and bond between a husband and wife during incredible times of hardship.
Book What are you reading?

Still slowly smashing my way through John Connelly's Harry Bosch novels. Currently on "Two Kinds of Truth" which is number twenty in the series. Only three more and I'm fully caught up, thought I think he releases about one a year so it won't be for too long...

Most the way through Heretics of Dune.
I'm on my first ever "all of the Dune books in six months" rotations through those novels.
Next comes Chapterhouse Dune....

Done with the book about Kursk, here's for some light reading before I go back to something more serious.

Started Ken Follett's "Century" trilogy. I used to love his espionage/WWII adventure books, we'll see how this one goes.
It's awfully on the nose in the current geopolitical climate, but I also recommend Vasily Aksionov's "Moscow saga".

I remember enjoying the movie when it first came out. Info on the Mossad at the time was pretty light.

Extremely good book (I hope there's an English edition somewhere) which details some lesser-known episodes of the Vichy regime, like the return of the coffin holding the remains of Napoleon's son. As soon as I finish this one I'll delve into Mrs Vergez-Chaignon's "Les Vichysto-résistants" which deals with the anti-German partisans of the Vichy regime.

Since the 47 anniversary of Black April a few weeks ago, I am back on my Vietnam reading and just finished my second read of this book. Very powerful story plus a lot of good information about post-war life in the country, reeducation camps and the indoctrination that was incurred. Definitely recommend!

Halfway through Kozovoï's book about Russia, time to start another one (I read his book about the Iran-Irak war and I recommend it) !

Fairly sure that reading these two books obsessively as a kid is how I ended up working in aviation. The right hand one is a 1955 print I inherited after my Grandad passed away in 1984 and I read it that much the cover came off and had to be taped back on. The left hand one I used to borrow continually from the school library and this version of it I've just borrowed from the local library.

greetings from Colombia! I can inform you today that I have finished reading the seventh volume of the encyclopedia and now I have started to read a book called "Diary of Korea", written by the legendary General of the Colombian Army Alvaro Valencia Tovar, who was in that conflict like Captain.

Crime and Punishment: Fyodor Dostoevsky
Third reading, the first two happening a long time ago at school. You know how you reread a book years later, and seem to find it had even a minuscule effect on your life or outlook on life?
