My copy is an ebook in pdf.

Finally started reading the ol' classic, Run Silent, Run Deep by Edward L. Beach and it is compelling! Have almost finished it after two days of reading.

Make sure you get the other two from the "trilogy"- "Dust on the Sea" which takes place right where RSRD leaves off and "Cold is the Sea" which takes place during the Cold War with the same characters.

:)

I still have to get that book. The movie is in my top 3 sub movies of all time. The other two are Das Boot and The Enemy Below....but now, Destination Tokyo was also pretty damn good.

I want to read the books so bad though. :yep:

Metro 2033

A lot better than the game in my opinion but not exactly an easy read.

Metro 2033! That's another one that is going on my Books-to-Buy list! :woot:

Thanks, didn't know it was a part of a 'trilogy'. Definitely have to read those as well.

Still banging my head against the previously mentioned tome (book is hella thick) so I buckled down and promptly started on two other books.

Nothing to Envy:Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick. Very interesting - it is basically interviews with NK defectors about their lives back in NK, what pushed them to make a run for it, and how they've adapted to South Korean culture.

Kill Anything that Moves - The Real American War in Vietnam by Nick Turse. I have to tell you, I had no idea on the tactics/policies that were used on the population of South Vietnam during the war; all the things I have read up to this point was the usual stuff from the military point of view/reporting style. If this book is even somewhat correct, then...I don't even know what to say. I honestly have to put this one down every few pages and just process what I've read.

Just started reading Nightmare At Scapa Flow - The Truth About The Sinking Of The 'Royal Oak' by H.J. Weaver. Apparently, There were a few myths about what actually happened when U47 sneaked into the anchorage. This book looks at different accounts on what actually happened by surviving crew members and other witness accounts that came to light after the war.

Another interesting read is 'U boat Bases & Bunkers 1940 -1945' by Williamson Gordon. This book gives an account of the massive structures built in France, Germany & Norway, to house the U boats. There is also references to other German U boat bases in Greece, Croatia (as it is now) and other bases in the Far East. Not just a reference book, but gives an account of what life was like for those who worked in them and lived around them.

I finished SSN a few days ago... It was okay I guess.

I'm reading Team Yankee by Harold Coyle right now. I like it so far. :cool:

New addition to my library - Die Unterseeboote der Kaiserlichen Marine

http://www.amazon.de/Unterseeboote-K...rlichen+Marine

Splendid book!

About half way through "Lords of the Bow" by Conn Iggulden. Nice read so far. :)

I finished that book the other week. Most interesting read :up:

It also mentions U534 which is on display in Birkenhead, England which was also recommended to view by RustySubmarine and U505 which is open to the public in Chicago. Bit far for me to go and visit but Birkenhead is more do-able :yep:

I'm currently reading "Nightmare at Scapa Flow: The Truth" :06:

Well written but only half-way through so far.

Is this by my recommendation, by any chance my sea-faring friend? :03:
