Surprisingly, his books are available on the New York Review of Books web store, along with other works by survivors of the Soviet system. |

Re-reading the Wool/Silo series
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo_ The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth.[6] Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a subterranean city extending one hundred forty-four stories beneath the surface. The series initially follows the character of Holston, the sheriff of the Silo, with subsequent volumes focusing on the characters of Juliette, Jahns, and Marnes. An ongoing storyline of the series is the focus on the mystery behind the Silo and the secrets it holds. The mystery is eventually revealed at the end of book five; Shift, which encompasses books six through eight, comprise a prequel to the series. Book nine, Dust, pulls the storylines together. |

Just finished Swift's Oh What a Lovely War. Swift belonged to the Royal Artillery and crewed towed 25 pdrs in the Western Desert. He later served in Italy before his division (7th Armoured) was brought home in anticipation of the Normandy Landings. They were mounted on the Sexton SPG (25 pdr on Sherman chassis).

Anthony Beevor's Ardennes 1944. I already finished writing my stuff on Hurtgen and the Ardennes Offensive. Quite a bit of sniping stories will be told in the latter. Anyway, I enjoy Beevor's other two books (Stalingrad and Normandy) and thought this would be just an enjoyable read.

I’m half way through it. It’s a tough read. An over abundance of characters. Epic characters building. Exhausting at times. Didn’t even get to any war like material until I got 200 pages in. He’s a super talented story teller. A real gifted eye for detail. But Long winded I have literally asked myself if I wanted to continue reading multiple times. And regardless. I keep reading. |

Bucher: My Story. About the USS Pueblo incident with North Korea.
Legends and Lies: the Civil War. An easy read, but opens up possibilities to dig into other books to read. London by Edward Rutherford. The fictional history of two opposing English families from Roman occupation to modern times. A bit hard to stay with the book at times. |

When Violence is the Answer by Tim Larkin
It's about having the proper mindset to dominate in a self defence situation. Using your brain to overcome what you have been conditioned on the use of violence in society. Social vs. asocial violence and the need to perform violence to incapacitate your attacker. |

Just finished re-reading With the Old Breed-E.B. Sledge; originally read it when it came out but forgot how incredibly well written it was, damn. IMHO one of the greatest personal narratives to come out of WW2. Best word to describe it........visceral.
Also finished The Count of Monte Cristo-Dumas, very good book, what a brilliant dude. |
