Just finished up the last in Donald Burgett's series of WWII memoirs, Beyond The Rhine; the books were a great read, particularly if you're a Band of Brothers fan. Burgett wasn't part of the famed "Easy Company" that featured so prominently in the book/miniseries, but another company in the same regiment - nice to read something that broadens the picture somewhat on the accomplishments and escapades of the 506th as a whole.

Also sped through Terry Pratchett's latest over the weekend - Unseen Academicals, in which the wizards of Unseen University field the most unlikely "foot-the-ball" team in the history of teams, fields, feet, and general unlikeliness. Not quite as mesmerizing as the Discworld volumes I'd list as my all-time favorites, but great fun nonetheless.
