Now reading

'Bout to pick up After America (the sequel to Without Warning), by the Australian author John Birmingham.

First book was good, except for that distracting plotline about the CIA chick. Blech.

Me too! Memoirs are some of my favorite reads.

I'm about to purchase Teddy Suhren's book and a book titled U-Boote Crews, Daily Life 1939-1945.

Oh, I know that one. I read that a while ago. What do you think of it?

I visited the mansion a couple of years ago. It's a museum now.

As I recall there were some interesting points.

I'm about one third the way in it so I will update my comment in due course.

I just got my copy of Warship Volume VII. Not a reader but a reference. I have about 1/3 of the series now.

Have not posted here for a spell because just finished re-reading Herman Wouk's Winds of War and War and Remembrance.

Last read them over 15-years ago and they have aged very well. The naval bits are excellent and there's a lot of them.

I'm on a Korean War kick right now, so I'm reading a collection of personal accounts from that war. The book is entitled Their War For Korea: American, Asian, and European Combatants and Civilians, 1945-53, by Allan R. Millet. He seems to have put a great deal of study into the subject, so I trust that the information I'm being given is sincere and accurate. Good read so far; I didn't know that Thailand had sent a battalion in support of the UN Command.

I have another of his books, the second volume of The War For Korea, but I'll have to wait to read it until I've ordered and read the first volume of the series.

Hello crashkart, my czech friend

Now reading Otto Kretschmer. Der erfolgreichste U-Boot-Kommandant des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1939-1945. Superb book about the best submariner ever (for me).

Hello!

I have read "Wahoo" by Richard O'Kane and am reading "Clear the Bridge!" also by him. I am here to put these books at the top of my list and recommend them to everyone! Tons of info that you can apply to the silent hunter series and a great boost to your submarine knowledge and curiosity!

Happy hunting and keep reading!

The Book of Frank Herbert

Sort of off and on The Complete Works by O. Henry

And just before that I re-read I, Claudius, and Claudius, The God (both by Robert Graves).

I believe that there at least a few titles contained in this thread that I'll have to pursue at the used-book place and then thrash those books to within an inch of their lives with some vicious reading.

The Ultramarines Omnibus by Graham McNeill
007: Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver
The Battleship Era By Peter Padfield

currently reading them all as the mood hits.
